What a beautiful boy you have there, JFED! Thanks for starting this topic.
My Layla and Madeline are so different in the mornings. 6 AM is my wake up time on a working day and they generally wait till then and even a bit later on weekends, but usually they don't start the where is our breakfast routine until they know that I'm waking up already.
Layla paces the hallway outside my room yelling the house down in a very demanding way and can rarely be put off for long. But Miss Maddy just sits very close to my face and watches for my eyes to open purring very loudly and occasionally giving me a gentle bite on the elbow. She's very polite compared to Layla. Both sleep on the bed with me or one on the bed and one on the chair next to the bed so I'm sure they know when I'm waking up before I do.
The annoying thing is that they will never wake my son up to feed them. When my daughter lived at home they sometimes asked her but usually it's me. I often work late into the evening and it's not unusual to come home at 9 pm to find my son watching tv and both cats sleeping peacefully only to wake and ask for dinner as soon as I'm home. They just don't ask him although he has fed them many times when I am away and when Maddy was a baby he had the sole care of her in his room for weeks because Layla didn't like her. They just know who Mum is.

And then she'll jump off and go somewhere else, and then she'll come back up.... wash, rinse repeat, until it's 6:30 and time for her morning feed, and for me to get up for work.
