Alarm clocks for cats??


I know mornings come early at this time of year but I really need to let Cleo know that 05.00 hrs is just a bit too early to spend a long cuddle,let alone putting out her breakfast

Blackout blinds are the answer - well at least that's the advise the nurse offered us when we said MIL was getting up too early!

Regretably, cats seem to operate on "stomach time", not ours! Try a midnight snack to defer the morning hunger pangs!

I think that they wake us up at that time because they like to see us trying to look at them through our blurry sleepy eyes and then stumbling down the stairs to feed them.

I think Steph's thread title should have been "Cat as Alarm Clock"!

Re: Alarm clocks for cats??


I used to have a cat who would meow at 3 am. I got one of those clockwork feeders and I set it so it would go off at 3 am. It worked.

Pickle wakes me up at 7 am despite me having blackout curtains, so that will not work. Unfortunately I cant do the clockwork feeder thing as he and Tigger (my other cat) have separate diets, and have to be fed separately.

Alfie is usually a 6am cat. Not too bad as OH is generally thinking about getting up around 6.30am.

3am would do my head in.
