Kitty Alarm Clocks?

[Barbara]

I am diligent about waking my servant between 3 and 4 AM by using my teeth to shred whatever paper I can find ... catalogs, magazines, book pages...

Hi Cassie, Filou here! I think you discovered a very good method.
Another one is just to run over them - you jump up on the left side of the bed, run over whatever is under and jump down on the right side. Then you go back to the left and repeat.

If all doesn't help and they roll themselves in a looomg paw with just a tiny little touch of a claw at their noses will do the trick.

They tell me all the time I have to eat- so I need an early breakfast at 2.30 a.m. My dad moans but he gives it to me. He loves me too

Not only do I have a kitty alarm clock... I have doggie alarm clocks too

When I was working days when I first got Remus he woke me up precicely 10 minutes before my alarm went off. Even on the weekends he figured I just HAD to be up at 6am watching him go through cat crazies at first by himself and later with Spook Once I started working at night I would either just be getting home or going to bed when the cat crazies started up and I figured out it wasn't so much him waking me up as it is he just likes to go nuts right around 6. He even does it here lol.
If I forget to fill the water dish or the food dish before I go to bed though he wakes me up JUST as I get to sleep. He can't remind me before I lay down oh no, he has to wait for at least an hour or two lol. I think the other cats use him as an ambasidor as he is never first to the dish when I DO get up and fill it but he is the only one that even attempts to wake me up. I think they all know that Remus is very good at his job

When I first got Tip-Tip she was the anti-alarm clock. When the radio would go off int he morning she'd march over and bat at the snooze button til it'd shut off than march back to her spot to sleep. No early risers in my house!

I'm lucky in the respect neither of my cats wake me. Altho I do have a doggie alarm clock some days she sits in front of me panting to go out.
Kylie is just as content being wrapped up in my arms sleeping as anything.
Kloe doesn't normally bother me either.
But I keep food out for them most of the time even tho sometimes it gets low.
And they are really laid back when it comes to the litter boxes as well. I only have to scoop 2-3 times a week.

I have 1 kitty alarm...VIXEN the deluxe model!!!

Vixen starts at 5AM or there abouts every morning. It doesn't matter if we do not go to bed until 3AM and feed them all at that time. At 5AM Vixen wants out of the room and sits on the desk and clicks on the handle of the door. It is a lever type and it clicks each time it is pushes down even if it isn't pushes far enough down to open. She doesn't want out of the room for food usually. I HAVE to go out with her. She heads straight for the living room and chats to me as she hops up on the sofa and bids me to come give her bellyrubs.

EXCUSE ME MIZ DIVA BUT IT IS 5AM.

She just gives me sweet loving moo moo eyes as if to say 'But Mommy I love you'

I give her about 5 minutes of belly rubs and go back to bed. Around 6AM she returns and jumps up on the bed and starts chatting to me again. NOW is feed me time. Up out of bed again and feed the brats.

She continues coming into the room and waking me for rubs, and whatnot until I get up. Usually around 9AM. When I FINALLY get up and follow her she flops in the middle of the hall floor belly up and looks at me as if to say 'What...you know I just wanted you out of bed.' Then she proceeds to go back to bed.

Michael , Who I Amm Convinced Is Daef Starts Bellowing At 7 Sharp If Theres No Food Out For Him, And Then The Anvil Chorus Starts In And The Young Ones Start Racing Arounds Like Caged Tigers.
I Thought When I Retired I Could Take It Easy.

yep yep....I also have one of those furry alarm clocks that dont have a snooze button lol. My baby Bella starts in at 5am because she wants her breakfast. Its not too bad on the days I have to work becasue I need to be up anyways but on my days off its not fun. But as soon as she and her sister have eaten its bath time and then bed time lol. They jump back into the still warm bed and snuggle under the pillows. I get so jealous lol.

This is an old thread, but I'm bumping it up because I saw a funny Facebook post today about a cat alarm clock

My cat alarm clock is set to the same time for weekdays and weekends. It's a bit later than it used to be, because I've changed her food. Still early, though- it's now between 5 and 5:30 AM ! If I don't respond to her initial requests, she meows louder! STinker. I go back to bed after I feed her on the weekends, but I often think I shouldn't... I could be productive with those hours if I only stayed out of bed. What to do... zzzz... zzzz....
