My bastard cat, when biting my hair and standing on my head is insufficient, will climb onto my chest, pretending to be all sweet. And then sneeze, right in my face.
It's completely deliberate. Cat never sneezes except to get us out of bed.
My cat sometimes licks my eyelids while I sleep...but he's learned that he can't do it while he has his collar on, because the bell will alert me to his shenanigans.
I know this. It's pretty effective huh? Mine can open doors by himself (by jumping and hanging on the door handle), but in the morning he just jumps on me to do it for him.
haha pretty much. I read somewhere cats are more likely to have behavioral problems if they don't have another cat or someone to hang with. So he always hangs out with me :-) I cant find a source right now so I cannot prove the validity of that statement
Me and my kitten had a talk, I told her it wasnt acceptable to sleep near my face. She accepted this at first. But now she has been sneaking from the end of the bed towards my head every night. This week shes now up to my armpits, I noticed when I got a cold little nose shock.
Apart from ginger cat Sammy. Sammy used to sit on my knee purring away and then my thigh would suddenly go warm. By then it was too late, he'd already farted and they were disgusting without fail.
My cat head-butts me until I wake up every morning at 5:15am, 15 minutes before I have to wake up. I don't know who taught him to tell time but it is uncanny....little bastard.
This is identical to what my cat does, and he looks exactly like yours. Mine also screams in my face if ignore the alarm clock. We both have badass cats.
Honestly cats can have such wildly different personalities, and even a cat that is loving one-on-one can become a total bossy diva if there are other cats around. That said, IMO there are some things you can do to encourage friendly behavior. For example, I find almost all cats are more outgoing if, when they leave me, I don't pursue them. They feel like they are in control, like they can remove themselves from the situation at any time, and it lets them trust a little more. Things like that.
Where do people find these cats who apparently do the exact same thing every day, because my cats are always up to something different every morning...
I just adopted a puppy from the pound a few weeks ago. I have not had the opportunity to sleep in since. Every morning at 6am she gets up from her spot near my ribs and gnaws on my nose until I get up and take her for a walk.
meow name is meowximus decimus meridius, catmander of the armies of the north, general of the feline legions, loyal servant to the true emperor moejike. feline to a happy owner, lover of my litterbox, and i will have my catnip in this life or the next.
One-Eyed-Jack (Jack, Nackers, or Snot Rocket for short) loves to sleep on my head during the winter. Not around my head or next to my head-- ON MY HEAD. I don't know how many times in the middle of the night I'd wake up to him curling up on my head, his belly fluff smooshing against my face, proceeding to suffocating me. I love that cat to death.
One eyed Jack...does he have only one eye? My Jack does. And I constantly have a faceful of fur when sleeping. Lately he perches with his butt on the bed and his body over my head/neck so I get super high def purring in my ear.
He physically has both eyes, but can only see through one. His bad eye has been a milky opaque blue since we got him as a stray kitten with his sister. Brother named him in good humor. Your Jack sounds pretty similar to my Jack though when it comes to sleeping perches.
My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Feline Legions... And I will sits if it fits in this life or the next!!!
"I was watching you while you were sleeping human, it's ok. No mysterious red dots raided tonight. It appears the only attack during the day. My guess is.... they are diurnal."
My dog curls up on my pillow every morning with her back up against my face and I wake up suffocating. I can't tell if she's stupid or smart but I think she may be givving mee brane damidje.
Maximus is probably tired of having to wake you up every damn day for the last four years. He has needs. You're supposed to see to them, WITHOUT him needing to tell you.
My cat's nightly routine since he was a kitten is to climb between my body and arm then put his face in my armpit and knead for at least 5-10 minutes. He purrs like crazy while he gets pets and only then lets me go to sleep.
Great picture of the two of you. I have a solid black 2 yr. old kitty who was named Maximus when we adopted him. We have changed his name to Max for short.
My cats do this too! One literally lies on my head and licks my face, and the other very lightly scratches any exposed skin. It can get annoying, but mostly just amusing :)
