Our cat ushers us into bed when it's near bedtime. If one of us is playing games late or otherwise up past midnight she will literally meow non-stop and chase us into the bedroom, it's mildly annoying sometimes but very sweet haha. Then she'll spend a few minutes with us in bed making biscuits before buggering off elsewhere, job completed.

Love the cats expressions! 'I'm happy with my position at the center of the universe.'

Cat waking you up to get pets at least allows you to stay in bed and fall back asleep. Dog wakes you up, it's usually because they need to take a shit so now you gotta get up, dressed, get the dog ready and go outside. 😮‍💨

Our cat comes to our bed, but she wakes up my husband, and not me. So he's pissed that I let the cat in (she usually sleeps in the stairs between two different apartments, she has a bed there).

EVERY SINGLE DAY

but when I do the reverse she's totally down for scritches.
Today was the first time I woke up with her snuggled up to me sleeping because I roll over a lot and she'll just go to the end of be bed so ngl I got kinda scared I squished her and suffocated her in my sleep 😭😭
I actually did that to my hamster that escaped her cage when I was little, RIP Pumpkin Ceed.

What gets rewarded gets repeated.

Skill issue, I've lived with cats for so long that it became a reflex in my sleep

When I first adopted my cat, he’d meow in my ear to wake me up for food. Then he switched to banging his paws on the bedroom door (like little furry fists). These days he simply cuddles and kisses me until I wake up.

He independently arrived at the same conclusion that many before him have found: you catch more flies with honey. Best way to be woken up for food ever.

It's not the cats, it's my fat dog that has zero personal space in bed lmao.

My cat is quite nice in that he simply sleeps, too. Or goes off and does his own thing.
