How does your Cat wake you up?

[leansnslobbers]

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.

My girls don't usually wake me up. On rare occasions when their dry food is low and they feel they can't survive another 30 minutes they will be so rude and wake me up. On these mornings Ally will just sit next to me on the bed and stare at me. If I ignore her and turn over and try to go back to sleep, she'll just jump to my face side and continue staring. After awhile she'll lose her patience and will smack me in the face with her paw. Of course, I have to get up then. Gracie is less subtle. She'll usually do something loud and obnoxious to get her meal. Yesterday she puked! That go me up FAST!
