    Cool Are all Coonies early risers?

    Winston has always woken early but over the last 2/3 weeks the trend has been now for him to demand play sessions at 5.10 a.m.
    My concern is that as we live in an apartment, that his very loud early morning demands can be heard!

    I now have to get up at 5.10 am so my husband can get some more sleep before getting up for work at 7am leaving me shattered by 11 am.
    Meanwhile by 7.30 Winston has stopped his demands and settled down.

    Is this all part of the package? A russian friend of mine has a Persian Cat and said that her kitty will not stir until they get up in the morning.

    I'm often woken quite early with Simba jumping around on the bed, his nick name is Ping Pong as he is just like a ping pong ball in the morning on the bed. If we don't get up he tries my kids' rooms or goes downstairs, but as soon as I get out the bathroom in the morning he is sitting there waiting for me. The dogs are quiet in the morning until we stir so tend to ignore his playfulness until we get up even though he tries to get them up by pouncing on them and then hiding

    Louie is fine its Holly (dog) we have a problem with she goes off at 6am everyday which is ok when OH is on days but not when he's on backshift Louie rushes off down with the dogs for some food then they all go back to sleep leaving me to clear up after them

    Sarah was terrible when I got her and used to wake me up putting her paws around my face and licking me at about 5.00am. After some firm discussions and time she now only does it on weekdays and when the alarm has gone off. Mind you today the alarm didnt go off and she waited til about 7.00am and did it ( just in case I should have been up)

    I dont know how they differentiate weekdays from weekends but she does!!!

    Early Risers

    The joys of having them in their own room....
    Only have problems when they have been allowed to stay out because of being poorly or when we travel to shows,then we are woken several times but away in their own domain they are very good.Two mornings a week hubby gets them up at 6.30am & they are crying to come out,the other mornings I let them out at about 8am & they are fine,weekends they will lay in as long as you wish,no problems,they do have to have lots of cuddles & playtime then though cos when you are that good you deserve it.....

    Yeah, 4am normally
    I don;t mind as I am an early riser anyway, just not that early, it wouldn't be so bad but the persian sleeps on me all night, and when the MC wakes up she comes on the bed, the other one gets the hump about that then they end up fighting on my side of teh bed

    unfortunately, once I am awake, I cannot sleep again
