Roxie (who is now a few months shy of turning 2) will go to sleep with my BF and I every night despite how early or late it may be. She sleeps at the foot of our bed on these really fuzzy blankets which she no longer permits us to use
Around 6ish in the morning she will wake up and has what I call her "bewitching hour" where she is FULL of energy. Sometimes she will just play with her toys in the living room, or maybe even in our room (to our delight
). Other times she feels like being a little witch and will hop up onto our desk, night stands, dresser, tv, etc. etc. and knock off the heaviest and LOUDEST items. At that point I usually just shut her out of the room so I can catch those last precious hours of zzzz's.
Lately her routine has changed and it is really starting to get old fast. At 6 am (practically on the dot) for the past 2 weeks or so, she has decided that when she wakes up she MUST walk all over my body and head purring like a maniac! She'll rub her face on mine and then settle on top of my head or next to my pillow. Up until this morning I didn't mind her doing it because I really loved how sweet and affectionate she was being. BUT this morning was a little different because everytime I would start to fall back asleep the little sneak would leap onto my night stand. This whole time she was buttering me up!! She did this for about 30 mins. until I could no longer stand it and shut her out of the room.
I think she does all these things to wake us up so we will feed her. I always feed her right before I leave for work but it is just like she can't wait, like she's starving or something!
Anyone else have a kitty that does something similiar? And is there any way I can curb this behavior? I would really like those extra 2 hours of sleep!!
