I can only sumise that you all have very strange cats! Mine are so normal in the morning....I wake up to no less than four sets of eyes staring at me, two usually from the dressers, one on the chair, one on the floor or hamper. Tex remains in the hall staring. Then, as soon as I throw back the comforter, they rush into the bathroom for drinks at the sink. I purchased a special pedestal sink- with an extra wide brim for seating. Two, at minimum, are perched waiting for the water to come on. Into the shower, and when I am done, I have to shoo cats away from the rug, cause they all lay there. Maybe it is like a sauna to them. I floss with one cat on my lap EVERY MORNING. She wants the floss in her mouth, too. I move around the herd, putting in contacts, on with the makeup. I use the powder brush on the girls, too. Then, we all race to the kitchen (I usually am in last place) and we start the morning dance for food...then my cats become more like your cats. But, don't any of yours hang out in the bathrooom with you?
