My cat is so cute in the early morning

[BuelahWitch]

She'll look outside for awhile, watching the birds as they get up. Then she comes running in to me to get some cuddles on my lap. Then we hear a squirrel run across the roof. Off she goes to make sure he doesn't come in the house (at least, that's what I tell her her job is). Then it's back with me for a bit, until the birds get noisy again...

What is your cat's morning routine?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. My cats' morning routines

consist of doing whatever is necessary to make me get up and feed them. Walking on me and howling, mostly.

2. Same here.

I try to fake sleep, but that just makes them resort to face-pawing.

[TZ]

3. I got double teamed the other morning..

One clawed at my feet while the other one went MEOW! right in my ear....

[zanne]

4. Have you seen Simon's Wake Up cat?

[TZ]

5. Yeah.

I LOVE that video. I think most of us have cats that do that.....:D

[SoxFan]

8. That's Brianna's morning routine!

Pip tends to do laps around me, rumbling the whole time.

[Withywindle]

20. OMG, that was hilarious!

I just watched that, and my Madimi started staring at it and pawing the screen.

Gee, do you think she took it personally?

7. Tonka waits for me on the couch

He goes from the bed to the couch at 5:30 when I get up. He sits up and watches me while I make coffee and breakfast.. very patient :loveya: Then when Ben leaves about 6:00 me and Tonka lay on the cough together and watch TVLand and CNN, it's our Special Time :loveya:

[LynneSin]

9. My cats are annoying in the morning - their stomach alarms go off

and will use their most annoying meow to announce I need to get out of bed and feed them.

[siligut]

10. Cat is too smart for me.

I used to push her off the bed, forcefully, but not to ever hurt her. She is smart, now she just makes a flying leap and bites me on her way past. I have learned, just wake up and take care of kitty.

[smokey nj]

11. My boys work in phases.

Phase 1: They send Peanut in to knead my head and purr loudly in my ear.

Phase 2: Peanut starts biting me. He gnaws on any uncovered body part; one morning it was my chin.

If I don't respond to either phase 1 or 2 - they move on to...
Phase 3: CAT FIGHT

Who needs an alarm clock when one has hungry kitties.

[sakabatou]

12. Usually

She'll lick the tub after I took a shower.

[applegrove]

13. They both sit on me or beside me until it wakes me up. Then it's chow time.

They rule the morning. I'm definitely under them in the pecking order.

[GreenPartyVoter]

14. Stand on my head until I feed her. (Obviously I am still in bed at that point) The boy is too

laid back to do that.

[BuelahWitch]

15. If I'm not up she jumps on and off the bed, which is not cool

This morning I happened to be up early, so I enjoyed watching her run to check out the wild life.

[Kashka-Kat]

16. What would I do without my feline alarm clock. Well before sunrise she starts

batting at my eyes with her paw. She does this very lightly but with claws out which is slightly disconcerting feeling claws grazing your eyeballs. Her goal is to open the eyes and have them STAY OPEN. Once this mission is accomplished some 45 minutes later she escorts me all around the house doing what I'm doing. Bathroom, breakfast, etc. Then I go to work and she goes back to bed which is what I suspect she wanted all along - cozy bed all to herself!

[yellowdogintexas]

17. when my alarm goes off: stomp the bed, cram head into my hand, rub hand

with head. stomp the bed, stomp my bladder. That is the black cat

kiss my mouth. That is CatZilla

talk, talk talk. That is Lewis

yowl. That is Thomas the 6 toed Siamese mix

All follow me to kitchen and watch me make coffee
All follow me back to bathroom and assist me in emptying my body of excess waste.
Watch me take shower
black cat licks bottom of shower stall

All follow me back to kitchen , in hopes I will drop something good.

Now when we sleep with windows open, at least two of them will be in the window.

[BuelahWitch]

19. Aw that sounds cute!

Do you have any pictures of them? What is a "CatZilla"? :rofl:

[yellowdogintexas]

27. THIS is a CatZilla

Clark

Thomas

Lewis


CatZilla, Clark, and Lewis are brothers. Thomas is the senior cat of our house. He has 6 toes on his front feet

[BuelahWitch]

28. All gorgeous kitties!

Thomas looks like a little mountain lion!

[yellowdogintexas]

29. Thank you! The three brothers were born in our house. Thomas sometimes sounds

like a mountain lion! He has a deep bass vibrating purr, and can scream bloody murder. He is Chief Enforcer of all Invader Kitties. No Strange Cats Allowed in our area! But he is a very sweet kitty to his people and was very gentle and tolerant of the boys when they were rambunctious little babies.

the boys (and their elderly aunt Scamp, now deceased) as babies

[Skittles]

18. I get off work at 05:30 AM

when I unlock my door I have to open slowly and hiss, "GET BACK! GET BACK!" because Riff Raff is champing to get outside. Then both cats proceed to bother me for "new food", hardly allowing me to even walk to put my coat away. Then after feeding them I settle down with a book and Clancy plops down on the bed to position himself so his tail will swipe across the pages. This routine happens almost daily. (Every other day I clean the cat boxes and one of them will take an obligatory dump in there as soon as I am finished). :o

[Sugar Smack]

21. She'll put the full weight of her front paws on my closed eyelids

and even bear down. That's the beginning. Then, Sophie'll sit with her front paws on my chest so it becomes difficult to breathe. When I open my eyes she's staring down at me. She doesn't care how many times I push her off, she continues til I sit up.

I freaking LOVE her!!!

[havocmom]

22. Daughter got a Shelter Cat that had been abused. He was a morning 'purrsun'

He was SOOO happy when he woke up with his new family unit, he was just silly. And the morning sun was a gift he never took for granted either. That old cat taught me a lot about the value and joy of showing appreciation.

We buried him out on the east side of the house, that one morning when he didn't rise to snuggle and do his joyous morning greetings. We played "Here Comes the Sun" as the sun rose and we laid him to rest. The sun will always shine on him first.

Taken a few months before he passed, at a ripe old age- Enjoying the morning sun while camping in New Mexico and tourin with the 90 Pound Hound and us human cats

[Arugula Latte]

24. Awww. I have tears in my eyes now.

Sweet kitty. :hi:

P.S. We played "Here Comes the Sun" when my daughter was born. :)

[BuelahWitch]

25. Thanks for sharing that!

He went over the rainbow bridge knowing he was loved! :loveya:

[Forkboy]

23. This is what I wake up to.

:scared:

[Arugula Latte]

26. One of them usually starts squawking at an ungodly hour.

Sometimes my female gets affectionate and walks all over my head.

The younger boy is pretty lazy; he's usually been sleeping on my feet and kind of chirps when I kiss his head.

The older boy jumps up on the counter and waits for me to open the can of food. I do this first thing, before coffee or anything.

The girl wants to be fed on her scratch box in the living room.

What can I say; I do whatever my kitties tell me. :loveya:

[littlebit]

30. My little one

bites me in a very sensitive spot. It wakes me up every time.
