I don't work anymore so I don't set an alarm, but that does not mean 6 am is not still cat breakfast time. Mac taps me awake an hour before my husband has to be up, and I feed the cats, scoop, refill water fountain and brush Sasha (long hair). Then Mac runs to my recliner so he can get in my lap while I read and he can go back to sleep. They love having a stay at home cat mom now.
