The cat annoyance

My cat annoys the hell out of me. I am to the point of giving him away, but then he comes and cuddles and, well, I forget.
So, this cat's life revolves around food. Not really unusual, but very annoying. This cat has an internal clock that beats my Sprint phone time stamp. 
As soon as I wake up and move a little bit, there he is meowing for cat food. Feed me my cat food please, he says. If he spoke English or French, that would be fine. He'd say: "Dominique, I'm hungry, would you mind feeding me, please?" But, it's nothing like that, it's meow, meow, meow, meow. It drives me crazy. So finally, I get up, open a can of cat food, and feed him a half a can. That shuts him up until about 4:00 p.m.  
I'm doing my thing, being into myself, and then it comes, "MEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW." It is a very plaintive meow, and he just does it over and over and over. Sometimes I tell him "enough," or "hush" and that quiets him down some, but not really. 
If I get really annoyed, I put him out onto the lanai and close the doors until I'm ready to feed him, and that shuts him up until the next morning.
But, again, when I watch TV, there he is, in my lap, totally oblivious.


That's my annoyance of the day. Now, go and let your annoyance go!
