How the cat wakes you up in the morning

My cat does that to me. He used to try to wake me up by poking me in the eye with his paw. I would just roll over because no way was I going to reward that behavior!

What's worse is that he'll wake me up in the middle of the night because he wants to get under the covers with me. And if I lift the covers, he'll just stand there for ages trying to figure out what to do. So I've taken to just shoving him under the covers. He's happy and I get a bit more shuteye.

Ours alternates between foot-attack and face lick. Her breath makes the second one particularly effective.

Euww!!! Kitty breath!!

And I can't really do much about it because he's too old and sick to be sedated for a dental clean.

Armchair introduced me to this video and I posted it on youtube trying to find out who the creator was. Finally, someone posted it under the comments. It's called Cat Man Do by Simon Tofield of Tandem Films.

My chubby girl Pele has the density of a black hole and can focus it all into one paw. She likes to make muffins on my tummy while I'm sleeping. I've woken up several times finding it a bit hard to breathe but since she shows affection so rarely, I try not to complain.

I love that video, I watched it three times and sent it to the bf (he has two kitties). My Aubrey persists in the "I'm going to knock stuff onto the floor until you get up" routine even though I ignore him. Wanda used to poke me in the mouth, but now she just yells at me. Lucinda doesn't try to wake up me up, but by way of a morning greeting she pretends to bite my nose - she just very carefully and delicately encapsulates my nose with her teeth. It's cute.

one of my little ones nuzzles me in the face with his nose while purring and tickling me with his whiskers. If that doesn't work I get claws in the scalp.

Very nice. :shock:

but he's SO cute I can't get mad

Euww!!! Cat snot!!

One of my cats stands on his hind legs on the bed and stretches his front paws as far up the wall as he can reach. He then rakes his claws down the wall, making a sound like nails on a chalkboard. He does this repeatedly until I get up and feed him.
