Tiger head butts me to get up he did it this morning

Snowy Meows loud and bangs paws on the door.

Cats have their ways of getting your attention...

HAHA! Toward the end of her life, Tigger didn't sleep very much, and consequently neither did I!
She would just kinda "murr, murr" and walk around my head until I would get up...usually at about 4 in the morning! LOL. Fortunately I could sometimes work from say, 4 to 8, then get a nap in.

At this point, out of the 4 cats, none of them wants to wake me up in the mornings anymore, except Clyde seems to have a love affair going on with my blanket and whenever he wakes up he has to...um...love it! BAHAHAHA. I'll just let you use your imagination on that one!

A cat in love with the blanket lol...Now that one I can guess. Does he think it's a cat or another furry animal? That is too funny...

Flambe is the only bad one we have. He gets on the bed (always being careful to jump ON me, not on the bed!), then walks around my upper body, purring loudly, placing his cold nose on my arms, and tickling me with his whiskers.

Chacho seems to enjoy waking us up by sticking his nose in our ears and snorting/purring loudly.

Abby comes up and lays beside me demanding chest and neck rubs.

Spencer and Katie walk all over me and flop down and do summer saults on top of me. And when that doesn't work, they turn off my CPAP machine which is guaranteed to wake me up because I end up suffocating

Playing with Jazzy & Ginga.
These are hilarious!
Ginga wakes me up every morning at 6:30 except weekends, she lets me sleep in until seven, still very early! She opens my door and jumps on me, she gives my shoulder a head bunt, that normally wakes me up (she does it very hard), she sees that I'm awake, gives me a head bump and then runs out. I slowly get out of bed, pick her up and she starts purring, then I run to get her breakfast.

PRESLEY!!!!!!!!!!!! That is who wakes me up. Real early too. He lays across my face and neck and will even make a sweet little mew to get me going. He has also learned to walk on top of the alarm clock and if he steps on it just right, the time changes to much earlier. This morning Larry's alarm went off and he got up and and did his regular morning routine before the train. he went downstairs and saw it was only 4:30 a.m.!!!!!!!!!!!! It should have been about 5:45 a.m. (so he thought).

Nero is my alarm clock. He usually starts headbutting my face, and if I roll onto my back, he climbs on my chest and headbutts my chin. This morning, he snot-rocketed all over my face

*sigh* Lulu wakes me up every morning by going to the litterbox in my bathroom. Since she has loose stool and tends to step in it at night you can bet on it that I'm wide awake with the first "scratch".


Let's just say I've been running on fumes lately

That is Hoshi, too. I think he's gone all the way to "done" with the blanket before

The second I wake up, Bowser comes running into the room screaming at me. He then jumps up on the bed, starts purring, and headbutts me until I pay attention to him. Then we spoon and he gets a 10 minute belly rub before I can do anything else :p

Luna: licks my face, eats my hair, licks my hands, purrrrrrs, licks some more until I get up (very cute but annoying if too early
).

Utu: If he's in another room ,he scratches the doors. If he's in bedroom, he'll knead me and walk on me (his quite heavy..
), I can't get up until he's finished.

Kuura: Doesn't matter if he's in the room or not, he meows until I wake.

Tomu: Knocks something over, drops something, falls from somewhere and makes a huge crash sound..

used to knock things down in my room if he need food, or needed his litter box cleaned in the middle of the night. That used to drive me nuts


Luna used to bite whatever part of me wasn't covered when she was a kitten. Also back then if she didn't feel like biting me, she'd punch my face with her paws
Now she knocks my books off the book shelf.

Midnight used to meow to let me know he needed to use the litter box when he was a kitten. I don't know why since he didn't need my help getting to the box
Now he'll jump on top of me, to wake me.

CC has Lisa trained well.She comes in for a few pets maybe a love bite.Then
she stands on the headboard and hooks her tail around the curtain and pulls it so that the sun is on Lisa's head!Then she pokes and prods at Lisa until she gets up.Once everyone is up,CC gets in her bed and goes back to sleep!
