Of my indoor 13, Tiger is the only one who demands that I get up and feed her. And this is often as early as 2 AM, It depends whether I am asleep or not. If I am awake, but trying to "fake it" to keep Tiger quiet, well, I can forget it! She knows! She has a set procedure to get me out of bed. First, she will walk on me, then she will start rattling the coathangers, and jumping on the bed from 4 ft high. She even stated to rattle the exposed bed springs and caused a "twanging sound" to eminate from within the box springs.! . And these attacks are not haphazard, but one after another. I know that all this sounds funny, and in a way it is, but at 1 to 2 AM? So, I have to get up and feed her because of her special dietary requirements. But I can forget about feeding only one of them because then all the kittens want to be fed also, and not to mention the other 12 as well. So, I might just as well get up and begin the day extra early and then hit the sack about 6 PM that same evening I do keep hot water ready to make my morning cup of coffee, or two.

Tiger is also the only one who watches me eat. She will lay beside me in a sphinx form, and wait until I am done. Then, I give her what is left over. She has done this ever since I first brought her home with me last October. If I am eating something that she particularly likes, such as spicy hot barbequed chicken, sometimes I have to eat my meal on the "run" in order to keep her away. She honestly tries to watch her manners, but her cat nature get the best of her But I wouldn't trade my tiger for anything, even though she rules the house especially when I am in it.
