Thread: Merlin is a morning coonie *yawn* and I also think he was raised by dogs

I jinxed myself last night! I brought a dish of kibble to our bedroom so Merlin would be less likely to bother us in the morning... He ate some and I thought he'd fall asleep. Right after he ate, Merlin started howling at the top of his lungs and racing up and down the stairs. It was around 1:30am, DH was not impressed LOL! Our 8 year old son was up early and fed him breakfast, so I was able to sleep in.
There seems to be a connection with food and howling though. He will sometimes eat, then head for the basement and howl before he uses the litter box. Perhaps it's a territorial thing? "I am Merlin Coon, hear me roar!!!"

Mandy, that is so funny! I can't imagine listening to Ginger crunch on her food all night long! I put a dish of dry food on the kitchen table so the Beagles don't get it. My husband was absolutely appalled by that! I am like what ever.... She still wakes us up for canned food at the crack of dawn. She runs around every morning like a crazy girl. The first time she did it,I thought there was something terribly wrong with her. But no that is just how she is. She stampedes around the house like a wild boar, running up and down the hall at full speed! She will stop just long enough to dump one of the many trash cans and move on! Gotta love the little monster!
