How to wake up your human

 

Chest kneading

Humans are lazy animals. Every now and again, they refuse to wake up on what they call "Sunday." (And, no, I don't know what that means.)

 It is necessary to wake them. Here are some methods contributed by various cats who have refined their individual technique.

  • Heavy kneading on the human chest.
  • The flying pounce.
  • The loud purr in ear.
  • The gentle ear nip.
  • Walking up and down the body.
  • Loud mewing.
  • Jumping on and off the bed.
  • Nipping toes protruding from the duvet.
  • Face to face rubbing, with or without purr.
  • Backing the butt close to the human nose.... yes, that works!
  • Bringing a dead rat on to the bed.


But the ultimate wake up call is a living rat on pillow. That always works. And it works fast.

  1. All wonderful ideas, George! Thank you! I gave up trying to wake up my mum to serve me breakfast (on any given day, not only on Sunday). I think she's a bit slow - she doesn't get it! Maybe I need to train her better? My human daddy is a dream - well trained. So I wake him every morning sometimes at 3:30 am or 4 am. He never gets upset and he always obeys my demands! Now, this is what I call a wonderful parent :)
