Is this a normal cat ownership thing? When I was growing up with cats they didn't sleep in my room and I had less control over when I got up so I'm genuinely unsure

Depends on the cat. I used to have a sleepy chonk who would laze in bed with me for as long as I wanted. Now I have two fuzzy alarm clocks who insist I keep a regular sleep (and breakfast) schedule even on the weekends.

As an added wrinkle, Vonte bases his wake-up calls on human time (related to when my work alarm usually goes off), but Rio bases his on the sun rise. So summer weekend mornings are fun 🙃

I have a feeling Maya is a sunrise cat...

My condolences

seattle summer sunrises are EARLY too...

Normally they wake up early because it’s hunting time. If they share your bed, they’ll definitely wake you up😹

Yup. Every fall, she'll be waking you up at 5:30 AM until the routine resets.

I invested in an automated cat feeder to keep my cat happy on the weekends, because I work with severe sleep deficits most of the week.

We feed her breakfast at 8 and she has kibble in her bowl so it's not a hunger thing. She just wants us to be up with her. And by us I mean me because Jared is a night owl and sleeps through it

sam-animeherald.bsky.social•1 day ago

Ah, fair. Yeah, she's going to do that - cats are little bundles of love and affection and they will make sure you exchange that on their own terms.

My mom and brother try to tire out his cat so that the cat will also sleep through the night lol

If they can get into your room they will definitely wake you up in the morning more often than not, especially when they are young.

Yes. It's especially annoying during the shift to/from daylight savings, because it could still be dark but Cat is awake now so Cat demands that you rise to give it food and cuddles.

My cat does this 😩 it's bc she wants to be fed, but I suspect she also does it to torture me

moveablesponge.bsky.social•1 day ago

What's funny is she doesn't meow much (in general -- she is a cat of few words), so instead she just finds a rustly object in my room and passive-aggressively rubs up against it to make noise

alltsunnodere.bsky.social•1 day ago

Maya wakes me up by aggressively grooming my face and if I try to hide she will literally dig me out from under the blanket

brainchild129.bsky.social•1 day ago

Edward does it to us (mostly me) by making noise. He'll play with blinds, scratch on our closet door, or mess with things on my dresser (particularly by pushing off my glasses), all in the hopes that I'll sleep on the couch so he can rest at my feet without having to share me with anyone.

alltsunnodere.bsky.social•1 day ago

Before starting work (first day!!) I would get back in bed and she'd cuddle between me and Jared. We have a double bed so it was verrrry cozy

moveablesponge.bsky.social•1 day ago

That is so cute 😭

My cat when they look outside and see the horizon turning from black to pink:
