My cat does. She has taken to stamping about on me at around 6.30 am on a work day and 7.30am on a non-work day, until I wake up. Then she mews and cries a bit and then goes back to sleep. I, however, am now awake and stay that way. I know she is old, and I know they develop funny habits, but she is warm and healthy and well fed and can come in and out of every room in the house at will (and they have a cat flap) and the other aged pensioner cat conks out at 10pm and thats the last you hear from him before 10am the next day but he is happy to sleep in a big pile of smelly cat fluff with her if she wants. I just dont understand it. I am developing bags under the eyes and crossness. We arent out of the house a great deal, and sometimes she is downright standoffish if you try to get too close to her, so I am not sure that she is lonely.
I wouldnt mind if she wanted to get up FOR something, but I always leave water and/or milk down for them at night, along with some food in case they get hungry in the night so it isnt that either. Maybe she is getting cat alzheimers, if there is such a thing.

I had an old Border Collie that developed doggie Alzheimer's in the end...twas quite sad.
ReplyDeleteMy curs like to do the same (the stomping on sleeping bodies) if they get half a chance...
How does she know whether it's a work day?
ReplyDeleteWe had to shut the cats out of our room at night because of the stamping around on our heads! Weird cats, heads aren't even comfy!
But more seriously, maybe she's waking up with a headache or a tummy ache?
I thought she may be poorly but no. Apparently she is just awkward. Oh well. I could stand it but she is so SHARP!
