How does your Cat wake you up?

[columbine]

Smudge just jumps on the bed - he weighs 16 pounds, so I'm sure to notice! But he's not trying to wake me up, he just likes being near me. He sits down next to me and purrs, and maybe has a nap, then jumps down again, sometimes two or three times a night. He's just letting me know he's watching over me.

My bed's kind of high, so he can't always see how I'm oriented. But if he sees that he's landing on exposed skin, he retracts his claws in midair, even if it compromises his landing a little and he has to scramble for more resilient footing.

Love, Columbine

He never lets me go to sleep to be able to wake me up

He meows constantly.

Mine don't wake me up, but if they see that I am awake, they will lay beside purring, until I get up and feed them.

Purring is a cat's way of getting attention. Maggie (RB) purred in my face for 30 minutes at 4:00 AM once. It seems she had eaten the dry food bowl down and wanted more. Once I fed her she left me alone to go back and sleep.

Fister is quite civilised, he jumps up and walks across my pilllow over the head, then settles down in front of me. If I don't get up he'll jump down after a while and try again an hour later. If he really wants me to get up, he gives me headbumpies or start washing my arm.

Jack is the only one that won't wake me up, he just sits quietly next to the bed patiently waiting. The others however......

Cami paws at me and has this little tiny kitten like meow she uses.

Pooky walks all over me and occasionally paws at me, and has a pathetic sounding little meow.

Bear chews on my hair, paws at my face, goes in and out under my covers and has a VERY LOUD 'MAR-RRROOWW'. LOL

Dusty is my favorite, she'll sit there nicely staring at me for a time, then when that doesn't work.....she licks my eyelids! Guess she figures that if the eyes are open I'll wake up lol.

Thankfully, none of mine wake us up. When we do get up and go downstairs to start the coffee and pick up the newspaper, Pepper races for the door hoping to go out. Halo stays in bed for a few more hours and Cammie snoozes most of the day.
