At what time do your cats usually wake you up, and has that time been getting earlier over time?

[ElenaSeluna]

Because my cats woke me up 5 in the morning today😄

When I had a cat, it would wake me up about 30 min after I normally feed it. I never really had a problem with them waking me up early in the morning. But my female cat loves to sleep on me and it was the other way around. I will wake up not wanting to move because she was so cute sleeping on me and I felt bad waking her up in having such good sleep I will feel bad.

But I never just put food out for them to eat when ever they like, I feed them all a controled diet so they had the right amount to eat without over eating. But with that every time I came home they demand their milk treat and you have to make sure you feed them the same time every day, two times a day, it is much harder because they live on a set schedule they will hold you too.

[ElenaSeluna]

Yeah

A rather amusing way to wake up. My cat used to come and sleep on the bed covers. I sometimes woke up because he had a paw on my eyelid and was purring in my ear.

Usually at 7.30. I put in some work before taking my daughter to school and driving my wife to the office. After that, I either keep working at the home office or, if time allows it, take some time for myself. Mornings are more productive than the rest of the day.

[ElenaSeluna]

It’s amusing for sure, do you still have the cat? 😊
I am a morning person for sure, if they don’t wake me up, I wake up around 6 am every day

[Tarifa]

No, when I moved to an apartment, he sometimes stayed out on the terrace. There was a rainy spell for 3 days and he couldn't be found. I guess he just found a better home somewhere else.

I got him when he was barely a month old. He would rest on my shoulder, or when he saw me entering the flat, he would look up, hook his claws on my trousers and climb all the way up. He still did it when he was a 5 kg / 11 pound full grown cat. I made sure to wear jeans all the time.

[ElenaSeluna]

Wow, that’s sweet.. they have a weird way to express their love sometimes😊
I hope he is good and happy wherever he is 😊

[Tarifa]

Yes, I hope so too.

[Tarifa]

Thanks for the MHO.

[Nikki1989]

He is usually bugging me by 5am, but that is OK. I am usually awake.

[ElenaSeluna]

Aww 😊

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

I don’t let my cats in my room so they don’t do that to me

[ohsheeT]

They are trying to tell you something

You could have been dreaming. You could have been breathing in a different way and they're trying to tell you, Hey, snap out of it.

[ElenaSeluna]

That’s a possibility, yeah 😄

[ohsheeT]

Maybe a high 5 or a foot massage

[exitseven]

my cats would wake me up 4 or 5 AM. I never needed an alarm clock.

[ElenaSeluna]

Of course 😄

[Desi_Butcher]

Haha they can wake u up at 2, 3, 4, 5 anytime.. they are early risers. Prepare to sleep less if you're a cat parent haha

[msc545]

5 Am. Always...

[ElenaSeluna]

Omg… that’s so cute 😄

[msc545]

My cats Angel, Angus, and Allister all insist on eating at that hour, and they want fresh food.

[ElenaSeluna]

Cute names😊

[ElenaSeluna]

What did you usually feed them? When you said “fresh food” did you mean you have to prepare something from scratch?

[msc545]

Well, no, I don't do that because I don't trust myself to do it properly for them, and I also don't think it's a good idea. I use Hill's Science Diet a lot on the recommendation of my veterinarian. My cats all tell me they like it, so who am I to contradict them or my veterinarian, for that matter? Believe me, if my cats didn't like it, they would let me know in no uncertain terms.

[msc545]

From time to time, they question me very closely about how I came up with those names, and I have to tell them in great detail. I think they like the names, but you never know with cats. They can change their minds about stuff.

[ElenaSeluna]

I might try this food for my cats. I usePurina dry food, and now I am using Friskies wet food, and they've liked it so far, but like you said, you can't say for sure 😄

[eagle1951]

my 3 wake me up anywhere from 4Am to 5Am

[ElenaSeluna]

They usually wake up at 6 or 6:30 or they don’t until I wake up at 6:30 to give them food, but today was very early 😄

Oh please, Cats don't run on human time!
