Now, cats are a new experience for me so I expected my life to be turned upside down and inside out because of their nature. I've heard so many stories on this forum alone about cats waking their humans up at ungodly hours for food or even affection or for completely unfathomable reasons. Boy was I pleasantly surprised!
Sho is one heck of a polite cat and has the patience of a saint (when I'm asleep). He's willing to simply sleep and wait until I'm fully awake before demanding attention or food, no matter how late I wake up. If I sit up in the early hours of the morning or middle of the night, he'll look over at me curiously. Because more often than not, I wake up sometimes just to check on him. If I lay back down, he'll go back to sleep and wait until I'm actually ready to get up.
When I'm finally fully up, Sho will watch me for signs that I'm really and truly fully awake and ready to start my day. Sometimes, I'll actually have to say something out loud before it clicks in his mind that, "Human's awake!" Only then will he approach me. I'd have to flip the blankets off me before he'll hop onto the bed to greet me with purrs and headbutts because I've forbidden him from getting on my blankets. And surprisingly, he's understood that blankets are off-limits.
When I get up from my seat, Sho will sometimes take over because it's still warm. But when I return, he'll kindly get up and sit on the back of the chair instead.
When it's feeding time, he'll sit there and watch me and wait patiently until I'm done preparing his meal. He won't climb on me, whine, or wind around my legs. He'll only approach when I'm setting his bowl down on the floor. Sometimes, I'll ask him "Sho, meow for me?" and he'll comply and meow. He's so cute. ^-^ He won't even run out if he hears the cans. He'll only come when I call for him.
How polite are your kitties? ^-^ I was wondering if anyone else had such patient and polite cats.

; Or...maybe he recognizes me as top cat? I have no idea.
