My cat, Pogue, has his own schedule. It varies from day to day. But his alarm goes off at about 4:20 every morning which is ok on weekdays because my clock alarm is about half an hour later.
I might get up to him twice a night to sort out food but I don't really mind as my kids are nearly all grown up and I sort of miss getting up to crying etc.
We brought him from NZ to Oz and unfortunately (for us both) Victoria has a cat curfew from about 10:00 pm to 5:00 am so he gets put into 'lock down' if the yowling doesn't stop.
Don't give your cat cows milk, they love it but most cats will get sick from it. Buy a lactose free substitute from the vet or supermarket.
Yep, I love my cat too.....................but .....sometimes...............I..................
