I discovered a new way to play Annoy the Woman this morning. It was great fun, and everyone should try it at least once. It's easy and it requires nothing but your time and energy, and an imagination.

This is how it works:

First, your Woman (or any of your People) must be in bed and be asleep. Or if not completely asleep, partway. You know, that early morning snoozing thing where they don't really want to get up? That's the perfect time.

Ok, jump up on the bed, softly, as to not disturb the sleeping giant.

Now...you know those laser pointers they like to shine on the floor so they can get a good laugh while we chase the moving red dot? Pretend someone is shining one of those on the bed. Pretend it's zipping all over the bed at high speed.

Chase it. No, it doesnt matter if there's really a dot. Chase a pretend one.
Pretend it lands on your person.
Pounce.
Repeatedly.

When your person decides you're insane and sits up to find out what the heck you're doing, pretend that red dot has landed on their forehead. Jump and swat them on the forehead with your paw. As hard as you'd like.

When you think they're going to get out of bed and kill you, run off.

Trust me, this is great fun.
