How does your Cat wake you up?

[Beauty17]

Indigo does not wake me up. Beauty usually does not wake me up, except when she has some hare-brained notion to jump on my side in the middle of the night - her bid for affection. The only other time she wakes us up is when she goes hunting in the middle of the night. Sometimes she has a real mouse, but usually these days, it is one of her catnip mice. She howls and howls over it until someone comes and sees it and praises her - then she is satisfied and we can go back to sleep.

Oliver stands beside me and meows softly until I wake up.

Sundae will kneed me and meow.

Kitten will kneed me and rub his head on me.

Jimmy will jump onto the bed and then jump onto me.

Raisin is a polite little lady and doesn't wake me up.

Eddie was an outdoor cat before we got him, so it's taking a lot of work to convince him to stay inside - he'll run out the door any chance he gets

When he's not trying to get out, he's sitting by the door meowing, so I am usually woken up every morning around 5:00 with him howling at the door.

If, by luck, he is not in the mood to go outside, Sam (the youngster) is usually up early batting SOMETHING noisy around or instigating play with the other cats.

Spot doesn't wake me up, he's a lazy boy and will sleep all through the night and most of the morning too.

I guess cats named Amber have a tendency to yowl!

I can hear her coming down the hall, so I grasp the mattress and hang on as she rounds the turn - dives onto the bed with a crash and then springboards off as rapidly as she arrived. If it is the weekend and I don't feel like getting up - she will do this several times as if to say "what's a weekend?"

This is Annie - Rascal and Emma just sit on the sidelines and watch her race acting completely innocent.

Well Bobo doesn't wake anyone up - he sleeps with them as long as he can lol! But for me sometimes CC meows and I wake up with a cat in my face, or he jumps on my bed and headbutts me. But sometimes he waits for me to wake up myself and then runs up and says his good mornings.

Striker has his Feline Paper Torture routine; he will take up a position beside the bed and tear mail order catalogs into tiny pieces until I get up and conduct him to the bedroom door. Once locked out, he will rattle the doorknob, rattle the door on its hinges, and cry pitifully until I get up.

Sassy just sits and stares. If I pull the covers over my head, he will daintily reach under the covers and claw me on the nose.

Missy doesn't wake me up at all. There are "people" to do that.
