catAwake.isPaused = false

in func wakeUp(), and

catCurl.isPaused = false

in func curlAt(scenePoint: CGPoint).

It is possible to avoid getting isPaused set to True while using the storyboard, but it takes vigilance, so fixing it in code is easier.

Here is one of the old posts on the topic (search phrase is “like a boss”). The last post is on not letting it get tweaked on the storyboard.
