Thanks for the article. Sunny is my little alarm clock. He loves to meow very loudly in my ear. I don't get up but I will start petting him and sometimes he'll even settle down and go back to sleep. If I sleep too late then Storm will also try to wake me up by either nipping me lightly or by staring at me until I can't stand it any more. Pepper has never bothered me. Since Storm has gotten older he does tend to sleep in longer than Sunny and Pepper.
