Sleepy cats can be quite derpy. I once had an unannounced visitor come in via the catflap. The catflap was there from the previous homeowner. What neither I nor this cat knew, was that the catflap was set to entry-only mode. Poor guy got locked up in my kitchen overnight.
So when I strolled into my kitchen in the morning we looked at eachother, both with the question in our eyes: who the hell are you? So I offered my finger for sniffing, and when approved I slowly petted the sleepyhead. But when I turned around for 5 second to grab my phone, his brain woke up, and suddenly he remembered the trouble he was in, and pannicked. I was suddenly super scary. It took some convincing that the kitchen door was opened to outside, that I wasn't going to harm him, and that he was free to leave.
Confirmed she is what you may call derpy, but I call it cute.
