My cat is talkative, but this is ridiculous

This is a video of my cat Montana. She's a very talkative girl and I love that about her, but at feeding time she behaves like a pain in the butt. Her feeding time doesn't vary during the day, and I don't feed the cats until I get up. Granted what time I get up varies, but I want to stop this behavior because it's incredibly annoying.

Any advice?

She does this because it's annoying.
It's cat for "FEED ME". Be glad she's not my girl.
Let's see she's woken me up by :
Clawing my back
Paw in my mouth
Digging her arm claw in my arm
Licking my inner ear
Licking my eye lid
Paw in my nose
Hate to tell you she's gonna bug you till you feed her.
Consider a regular time in the morning. I feed my girl at 7am and if it's the weekend or rdo I go back to bed.

Montana has done all of that. She likes to wake me at 5 am for breakfast though!

If you get a regular feeding time the very early wake ups decrease. I set a 7am feeding and when she wakes me up at 5 or 6 I'd say "too early". I was consistent with the feeding times and the "too early". The early wake ups have stopped and infact sometimes when I'm not well she'll let me sleep in.
You wouldn't think looking at this photo she was evil.

I agree with a regular feeding time.  If you don't want to get a timed feed bowl is a great investment!

I work shifts so struggle with regular times, when I'm not working days my cat still expects to be fed at 0450!  

I stubbornly ignore my cats when they cry for food, I don't talk to them.  As harsh as it sounds, it does teach them the talking doesn't always get them what they want!

try leaving out some food for her overnight. She seems upset. Her ears are a bit back..

She definitely is not happy...and is trying to tell you that.

@artiemom - Montana often pulls that face at feeding time :)
