hi all
so my needy man Oscar has taken to waken me up at like 6/7am (I am in theatre and work nights so to me this is the middle of the night lol) not to feed him but to watch him eat (he and his brother are free fed during the day and each get a 3 once can of wet food at night before I go to bed). Oscar is/has always been very attached to me (Felix is way more chill). I wouldn't mind the getting up at 6am to watch him eat if he would let me go to sleep after but he doesn't instead when I lay back down he comes over and licks my face, headbutts me etc then runs off for like 15 min then comes back and does it again till i finally give in and get up and start my day. Any tips on how I can stop this? Could he maybe be needing another can of food in the AM? And if so when/how do I give it to him without him thinking if he wakes me up even earlier he will get fed. Would a bowl of dry food in my room help maybe?
