Sometimes (hell about every morning) my cat trys to assist in the process of waking me up. She hates my alarm clock, so if I'm slow to resond to it, I get a few reminders.
Her method:
Smacking me in the head a few times with her paw (usually the opening gambit, if this fails she trys more foreful tactics)
Stand on my chest (if im lying on my back)
Head-butting my nose
Licking my face (this one is especially effective as it gets painful really fast. Rough cat tongue on forehead = ouch!)
If these fail and the alarm is still going off (yeah, i sleep like the dead) she will go sit next to the alarm and yowl along with it, I guess figuring that it needs some direct help in its job.
On the rare occasion that all of this fails and im still sleeping through the alarm, she gives up and goes and sits in the bathtub to try and hide from the noise.
So, what does your pet do to give you a kick in the ass to get moving in the morning?
