Thread: Are all Coonies early risers?

Yes I've noticed they learn quickly... gryfn already knows where the teasers are....

Interesting to see how much all our coonies have in common

I guess normally it would not bother me as I was used to my parents outdoor cat waking us up early to be fed, but once that was done she went on her merry way.
What I'm a bit concerned with, is that I live in an apartment, and am worrying that Winston's early morning antics will be heard by neighbours. He had me up at 4.50 am today so I joined him in the dining room and went on the PC. He then fell asleep on the cat tree and I sneaked back to bed around 6. As soon as I pulled the duvet over my head, his lordship arrived at the door telling me "what did I think I was doing". I'm sure thats what he said

Should I have set more boundries and not allowed him to sleep in the bedroom to begin with?
As I write this he is all curled up on th rug and I'm bleary eyed whilst typing this!

poor you.
We let the cats sleep on our bed, but Gryfn didn't stay on our bed last night. I get the feeling that Charlie Brown has informed him he's not allowed to...
Charlie Brown is a bit of a bully. I'll be glad when he's snipped! But Charlie Brown has tried waking us early and we've just put our hand on him, given him a scratch and told him it's too early and go back to sleep and he's actually listened.

All of mine sleep on the bed with me

If Sarah woke me early I said no and gently pushed her away - If it was after my alarm or a reasonable hour then I put my arm around her and gave her a cuddle.

It did take a week or two for her to get the hang of it but she did - the occasional slip up but not much.

The weekend thing she worked out by herself.

A good alarm clock if all else fails.

Oh dear Dee, I think if I were you I would put my foot down. I'm sure if you just ignored him a few mornings when it was too early he would get the hint. The only other way that may solve the problem is get another kitten to keep him entertained while you are sleeping of course this might also double the trouble

I love all my animals but say that they are the same as babies,give into them once & they never let you forget it so Irish Kitty I would say yes lay down your boundries they & you know where you stand esp.this breed of cats that seem to learn very quickly,we always say to new pet owners when they bring their babies in for 1st vacc love them yes but do not let them get away with anything you don't like they are never too young to learn.
Sounds hard but...
I am pleased my cats haven't mastered reading these postingsyet or they might ask to pack their bags & head for a home where a better bed is on offer !
