Hi all,
I have two adorable Birman girls who are absolutely gorgeous, most of the time..
One, however, has developed a very naughty habit of waking me up in the early hours of the morning (pre-6am) to inform me that it is now time for me to get up and feed her immediately.
Her method of waking me up initially starts with a quiet meow into my ear, then gradually progresses to jumping on my feet, back, shoulders and head (she doesn't use claws, thankfully). She will also come right up to my ear and yowl loudly. This is along with loud howling, meowing, crying, jumping and running around when she's on the floor.
Unfortunately closing the bedroom door is not an option as it is the heat of summer now and we need to keep the door open for the airconditioning to be effective. I try to put up with the carrying on for as long as possible but eventually it is just useless and I get up. I try to avoid going straight to the bowl and delaying the process but it doesn't seem effective.
The other cat simply sits outside the bedroom door and waits patiently for the performance to be over and then calmly moves to her bowl to eat up.
Help!
