Poor little kitty

When I wake up in the middle of the night these days, I like to take my temp and drink some water.  Since I can only sip, it takes me a little bit of time.  I give myself 15 minutes to drink a few ounces, while I wander around my apartment.  My cat is not at all accepting of this.  He's OK with me getting out of bed to go to the potty or to quickly gulp down some water, but this 15 minutes thing is not working for him at all.  He cries and cries and cries until I go back to bed.  He really doesn't like anything getting in the way of kitty kuddle time.
