Even indoors, mine are up with the sunrise. Actually, more like at the
first light of day even.


In any season, right? Even though the time of the sunrises change. My

two
former ferals do the same, but my indoor-raised cats don't seem to come

to
life until someone goes into the kitchen- not the bathroom- not the

living
room- only the kitchen. They never learned to read the sun. ;-)


I had a few 4:30 wake-up pounces this summer.
Now, with the gloomy late fall mornings they let me sleep in late some
mornings.


Doncha just love some of the wild instincts they retained? ;-)

Both of my cats, former ferals, are crazy wild at dusk and
dawn. I love to see them that way,



Oh yeah! I love to see their wild side.


and allow extra time so that I
can get up when they do, play, and go back to bed to get enough
sleep. My little 7-lb tabby girl is wildest of all, maybe because she
is younger. After we play with the feather on a string that bored
her at midnight but thrills her at dawn I open the bedroom window
and she blisses out on the birds beginning to sing. If I am too tired
and try to roll over and go back to sleep she blows me off and
gathers the comforter in to a ball and kicks it to death, hunkers
down and pounces on nothing, misjudging the edge of the bed and
going sailing into the pile of giftboxes on the big chair, then plays
kangaroo kitty on the top of my pillow until I have to wake up
and play with her. It's my favorite time of day, catwise.


Here's the perfect toy- better than a laser pointer because the cats can
actually catch it. They look so proud when they finally catch it!

I can lie in bed and cast the lure down the hallway (it has a 40' range) and
reel it back- and jerk it away just as they're ready to pounce on it. I
don't know how many meetings I've been late for or missed because I was
having so much fun fishing for cats!

Not as much as you do with your all your "troll" posts that *includes* the
spam you're complaining about.
