Our cats sleep in the livingroom. They are out all day and sleep through the night without making any problems. When I get up. it's usually Cookie who's in the livingroom first, getting all the headbumbies first.

Than, Cookie and I go outside since Cookie should go potty (usually ends up playing with her toys instead). Meanwhile I sit on the terrace and have the 2 hungry kitties meowing and twirling around my legs, demanding to be fed.

And that's what I do next: feed them. They look at the food, sniff at it, and go out for an hour or so. After that they return to eat their breakfast.
