I have 4am Ivory murrrffing at me to scoot over so she can jump up and cuddle.
Her idea of kneading though is to painfully stomp on my upper arm.

Furry Alarm Clocks Revisited...

awww....but just look at his cute little face!
I have a three-part alarm clock. At 6:30 every morning it goes off by screaming "MEW, MEW, MEEEEEEEWWWWWW" as loud as it can. (If you try to press the snooze button, the alarm clock will simply retreat to a safe distance and resume it's MEWing.) Then the second part will jump to the top of the dresser and beging pushing the noisiest things it can find off and onto the floor. (DH's Altoids tins are especially useful for this, but it'll use whatever's at hand.) Finally, the third part of the alarm clock will begin its patrol by jumping onto the bed and running across our heads.
Visitors to our house especially appreciate our furry alarm clock, as it assures they will wake up early and get the most out of their vacation days.
As the sign in our hallway says "There's no snooze alarm on a cat who wants breakfast."

That's true! He is so cute some times it just kills me. He'll meow at the top of his lungs and then roll onto his back for belly rubs.Originally Posted by sarahp

1. Your bathmat (that goes inside the litter box don't you know!)
2. Any bags of flour you may have on hand.
3. Any fresh fruit
I'd also not recommend making a tuna sandwhich... he's gotten a little mean when a not so nice repair man tried to take one away from him.

DH just said that I was depressed more often when they weren't around. They have brought out a side of me I didn't know that I had.Originally Posted by sarahp
Ahhhh your kits are so funny
Could you ever imagine life without your kitties? I wonder how we survived before! I swear we laugh and smile so much more now because of them
OH good grief! I've got an alarm clock that goes off as soon as the sun is up every day! (I love rainy and cloudy days for exactly that reason). Bootie wanders around the bed with her little broken miaow "Mi-aw, mi-aw, mi-aw!" and if you don't respond by the time she's gone around the bed twice, she jumps up onto you and digs you out!
Mosi has been my alarm clock for the past year or so, waking me up every day any time between 4am and 5.30am
Finally at the age of 16 months and after a week of tough love from me he seems to have turned a corner and it's now been over a week since he did that
I still wake up early sometimes (habit I think) but when I do it's not usually anything to do with Mosi. Fingers crossed this continues.
My boys don't often get to sleep on the bed - partly because Melchett still is not always too friendly towards the babies (I must stop calling them them - they are nearly 2!!!) and we can lie awake all night listening to him hissing and grumbling at them, hence NO sleep, and also because DH is very restless at night anyway, and the cats seem to know they won't get must rest up with us!!!
Normally they sleep downstairs and begin their dawn chorus at about 5.30, singing me awake!!!!
They usually come up on Sunday mornings and we all have breakfast in bed together!!!

At the exact same time, 4:20, Quill will come into my bedroom, jump on my bed and sit there staring at me. My door is VERY creeky, so that will usually wake me up. If I don't wake up within five minutes he usually paws whatever skin is exposed; usually my hand or my fingers, or he might be starting a little love fest by licking me unto death
. If I don't wake up by then he will start chirping at me. If I'm half asleep still everytime I close my eyes he will keep chirping until I give him a good solid skritch on his neck and shoulders. Then he'll usually settle in at the foot of my bed and sleep until the sun comes up .... that's my boy
My cat's are not my alarm clock, they would just lay with me all day if I wanted, but now my dog's are jumping on me at 6am every morning..Ugggg.
My furry alarm clock wakes me up by dropping toys on my head and then batting at them until they end up under me, and the procedes to dig for them. I got up one day last week with EVERY toy on or around me. A couple of them had been dunked in the water bowl too!!
I think those arrangements could be made!
