Title: Early mornings!
Post by: Rachel(Rachette) on March 25, 2008, 21:19:02 PM
Hey guys, i am after opinions on what to do about Snooch's early morning rampage...

Snooch has started waking up around 4:30 am & after shes roamed around the flat for awhile, she gets bored then starts to chew her carboard box...again gets bored after awhile & then starts banging her cat flap until i get up & open it for her :tired:.....i'm after opinions on what to do...i dont like keeping the cat flap open all night, i try & tire her out & keep her awake until i go to bed...she has loads of toys but doesn't really like to play on her own...is there anything else that i can do or do i really need to keep the cat flap open....

no you just have to get used to being woken up. :rofl: :rofl:  It's what cats do.

You could consider investing in a time-lock cat food bowl that will release some food for her at say, 4 am, and maybe she will go back to sleep?

Let furry in the bed, and boot o/h out of the catflap for being grumpy  :rofl:

Sorry, I've got no meaningful advice I'm afraid.  My boy Max wakes me up about 4.30 every morning too, just for attention, not food or anything. 

and I wonder why I'm always tired  :evillaugh:

I have some catmate double feeders for when I go away over night.

I think cat mate are good but you need look around for prices, compare ebay to other sites etc cos prices vary so much.

 :tired: Purrs lot are a very tired lot...  :evillaugh:

Catmate is good. I have yet to use mine for the early mornings as I don't get woken for food... just because I am there and clearly someone is bored and needs attention.  :evillaugh:

Cheers i'll try the catmate....i dont think snooch is particularly hungry at that time in the morning, like your ickle 1 Ruth i think its purely for attention, she had enough sleep so she thinks i have 2... :evillaugh: I am going away over night next month though & my friend cant come round to feed her in the morning so a catmate will be ideal for then.... :thanks: again..as usual the purr people have come 2 my rescue ;D
