I normally feed Dori half a can of wet food when I wake up in the morning. I learned early on this was a big mistake, since she demands it the second I wake up
On weekday mornings she just gets up with me at 5:30 when the alarm goes off. Weekend mornings she will sleep in until about 7:00 but then gets restless and wants to eat. Then begins her trying to wake me up. First thing she does is jump up on top of the bathroom door and meows until I get up. This worked for a few days, but then I realized her plan and quit getting up when she did this, even though I was awake. She did this early this morning and I got up, got her down from the door, closed the door so she couldn't get back up there and went back to bed. She then jumped in the bed and started walking all over me, I told her to go play I wasn't getting up. She then started running all over the room, jumping in the blinds and making all the noise she could. She realized I wasn't budging and left the room after about 10 minutes.
Not 5 minutes later I hear a loud crash and glass breaking. It went on for about 20 seconds. I didn't know what was happening. It was so loud. I jumped out of bed yelling for Dori, my fiance jumped up and I was yelling at him to hurry and see what was happening. Dori comes running as fast as she can and hides under the bed. I was so scared that she was hurt. I was trying to get her out to make sure she was ok, and my fiance went to investigate. I have a set, well had a set, of 5 candleholders on and end table near the living room window. Apparently in Dori's wild run around the house she knocked them all over and must have struggled getting up and away from them. There was glass all over. It took a bit to get Dori out from under the bed, she was so scared and shaking like a leaf. I eventually got her out and thank goodness she didn't have a mark on her. I guess she showed us who's in charge!
From now on when she wants us to get up we better
