Question:
My cat has been pretty good about not waking me up lately, but sometimes he goes through periods when he wakes me up at the same time every morning so I can turn on the bathroom sink faucet. He would drink a bit, jump down and check the perimeter and then go back for another drink. The whole ritual took long enough that I was totally awake by the time he was done (for some reason I never could go back to sleep with the faucet on). I would go online, check my email and putz around for a couple of hours until I could sleep again. One morning I got really fed up with Duncan going back to sleep when I couldn’t, so I did what he does to me . . . I kept him up. Everytime he shut his eyes and was getting really relaxed, I would call him or drop a book on my desk or make some other noise. I tried to keep him awake until I went back to bed. For a few days, I found this strangely satisfying, in a petty, childish sort of way. It never changed his habit and I tired of it soon, but you might want to use it for the occassional revenge.

Advanced interactive snooze alarms. Thats all they are. And they carry a full lifetime warranty. Should your kitty ever be late waking you, just send it back to the manufacturer for a free adjustment. They just don’t want you all groggy when it is time to get up. You get a slow start instead of suddenly being jarred out of your sleep by that blaring alarm. Ever try setting your alarm a half hour later to see if you can fake them out? – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > No, it really can’t wait.

My cats are pretty good about not waking us up (until they’re really hungry). I work very variable shifts, and my partner works part-time so our hours are not at all regular. My girl Roxy has got the alarm clocks sorted out. If I am getting up first (ie I am working an early shift) when my alarm clock goes off at some ungodly hour she will jump on me the minute it goes off, often before I even have a chance to move and turn it off. When Matt is getting up first (ie I am working a late shift) she will jump on him when his alarm clock goes off. And when neither of us have to get up too early we get woken up when hunger gets the better of them. Of course the one time recently when I over-slept and was late for work (set the alarm clock wrong) the sun was shining so they had headed out the cat flap with no thought for breakfast. If it had been raining I’m sure they would have woken me up and I wouldn’t have been late for work! So it goes.

Why is it that my youngest cat chooses the half hour prior to the alarm going off in the morning to have a morning free for all…..which includes tormenting her sister and brother cats…and not to mention pouncing on the head…Couldn’t this wait 30 more Cats….Whatcha’ gonna do KC
Response:
No, it really can’t wait. The kitty’s schedule calls for waking you up just when you’re getting your very best sleep — before the alarm goes off. :) It’s a part of your kitty’s job description.
