Let me tell you about my first "good night's

Well you get two more hours of sleep than I do, Autumn starts waking me up between 3 and 4am. I will get up at 4am to feed her cuz after waking me up I have to use the bathroom anyway so I feed her.

Sydney wakes me up every night .. around 2am now (it keeps creeping earlier over time..). He pokes my face until I get up and feed him. The only way to make him stop is to get up and feed him (which of course reinforces the behavior). It does no good to shut him out of the bedroom, because he is able to push the door open.

When Soncat was in Rhode Island, he adopted a senior kitty named Graphix from a local shelter. She was a sweet orangie girl rescued from an abusive situation. Every morning around 4:00 am, Graphix would jump up on his bed and insistently paw at his face until Soncat got up and fed her. He'd go back to bed. When Graphix finished eating, he would hear her go from room to room then jump back on his bed, give him some kitty kisses then curl up next to him and fall asleep. And people wonder why we love our kitty companions so much!

Sky has been trying to wake me up earlier than he should lately. It's because he's now on pred and it make him very hungry. Even though I feed everyone before I go to bed, he still wants to eat earlier than his normal feeding time. I won't get up and feed him though so I just try to ignore him. Luckily his meows aren't too loud. I hope this pred thing won't be long term.
