OurTinks said she didn't need an alarm clock as she's woken up by fourFoots hungries. What canny thing does your Guy/Gal do?
Thnarly heads for my lap in daBed to settle down for the night. Between 6 and 6:30. Doesn't matter if theHelper's there and we're chatting. In Thnarly's mind, "It's Time She Was Off!" Bless 'er, she doesn't wake me up in daMorning.
Meg sleeps in the entrance hall/porch. I'd be at her mercy otherwise. As for going to bed, sometimes she waltzes in for an early night because she feels like it but most nights I either drag her bed into the hall with her on it or we play 'Rawhide' - I round her up by waving the T towel.
I'm a light sleeper so my cats have always slept in the kitchen and Harry and Saffy are no exception and as they always have treats when I put to bed it's never a problem, sometimes they even try to get me go to bed because they want their treats LOL
People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right, the only difference is they're wrong
Boots stays in his bed all night but is usually "patting" my nose around 6am!! By 7am he gets my attention by leaping at the bedroom curtains! The water pistol buys me a bit longer lol!
The Princess has her routines. She's usually very patient in the morning, and waits until we come down to be let out of her crate, Mr Cog then feeds her, and then she's outside. She then settles on her bed while we have breakfast, and usually sits on the rug in the hall whilst we're upstairs getting ready.
She only has to see me come downstairs with a handbag or pair of shoes, and she's straight in her crate waiting, because she knows we're going out. The ritual is that as soon as we're ready to go, she gets a kong filled with goodies, and settles down and waits for us to get back.
She'll start protesting at about 4.30pm, even tho' she knows it's not dinner time till 5.30pm.
Bedtime is another ritual, of letting her out, although she'll run outside and straight back in again, head for the crate where she's waiting for her bedtime Bonio, then she settles down until morning.
My two have the run of the house all day but Alfie always comes to the door when I get home. And he next to never let's me go to the loo on my own! They both curl up on the sofa with me at night. Sometimes they take turns and sometimes they are both on the sofa with me.
Both sleep on the bed with me. Much as Alf will come for a cuddle he usually sleeps on my feet and Harvey sleeps beside me.
Alf snoozes until about 7 and then he comes up for a cuddle. He's not massively persistent but I don't mind as I need to get up then anyway.
Harvey always has to have a biccie topping on his wet cat food or he won't eat it. Harvey begs for treats after dinner but oddly Alf never does.
Both in bed with me I'm afraid. Elizabeth under the duvet making a nice hot water bottle around my feet and Jonathan with his head on the pillow and the rest of him under the duvet next to me. Jonathan always wants to get up first at around 6.30am and he just trundles down the steps very loudly (they have their own set of steps to get up and down from the bed), letting me know he's ready for breakfast. Elizabeth emerges from under the duvet and proceeds to climb on top of me and lick my face. We then have to play the game of Mammy hiding under the duvet while she "digs" me out! Completely ruined the pair of them!!
Gromit used to climb to the top of his branch at about 9.30 p.m. and wait until his lights were turned off and his heat lamps were turned down at 10 p.m. I'd then pull curtains across the front of his vivarium so we didn't disturb him. If I wasn't ready to turn the lights off at 10 p.m. precisely he'd adopt his sleeping position and 'eyeball' me or look round at whoever was in the lounge as if to say "I don't know about you but I'm ready to slumber." When the clocks went forward or back an hour it played havoc with his routine for about a week.
In the morning he'd be awake at 8 a.m. and waiting patiently for the curtains to be pulled back and the lights to be put back on. He was certainly a better time keeper than we were.
