I swear, those cats were going to FIND a way to get us up today!

Only occasionally, when she thinks it's 7 A.M., therefore time for her daily treat! But then, I don't have 40-leven cats & who-knows-how-many dawgs to keep me up all night, either! Sweet dreams!

Sometimes they do, but haha snicker, because R is camped out in the master bedroom, and Tiger is in there too (peeing problem - but not in there), if there's no food down for him, he will walk all over R all night to get some.

no,they wake me bright and early.(and i'm usually JUST getting to sleep around 4 am) a couple of them have this game where if i don't get up and feed them breakfast at the first tweet,they fight,so i WILL get up. ..of course,then i'm mad too,but..

Wow, sounds like gang busters, haha! Sorry to hear you were up all night but in a way, I'm glad to read the responses that say they have this noise and racket too. I just adopted a cat about 2 weeks ago and her name is Rissa. She is only 9 months old but is throwing me for a loop. My other cats were actually quiet, didn't talk much, and even slept most of the time I was sleeping. Kash was extremely quiet and just slept with me until morning. This one is a wild child, lol! She talks all night and runs around like a little demon most of the time. She really is adorable but it's something I'm not use to in the least. I haven't slept a normal night now for these two weeks. She even pounces on me and then nuzzles my nose and cheek. I didn't realize there were so many noisy cats and I sure hope she calms down some.

My dogs don't keep me up but Gus interrupts my sleep. About 3-4AM he goes outside and then comes back to bed--but he wakes me up to lift the covers so he can come under with his COLD feet!

No, Sleepy does not keep me up at nigh t. I just close the bedroom door. He can sit out there and meow all night, but it doesn't wake me up. Sometimes he awakens my husband, though. He has a rather soft voice. The only time he gets loud is when I step on his tail.

Sometimes for no reason, our cat will go wild in the middle of the night, tear up the garbage in the kitchen, run laps around the apartment, and then jump right into the middle of our bed, spin in tight circles, and then try to build a nest in the duvet. Unfortunately, by the time he's nice and settled, we're wide awake!

Roxy usually sleeps with me and she gets in behind and WRIGGLES!. She pummels my back with her paws or she gets back to back and squirms and carries on having a lovely time, then she snuggles up really close...to such an extent that if I want to turn over I have to try and reach underneath her and that means contortioning my arm. She is deeply asleep and will not move for me. Next time I wake up, she is back behind me. LOL. I was trying to snooze yesterday afternoon and there was a thunderstorm right above us. I let Lucy in cos she is a scaredy dog with loud noises. She jumped up on the bed with Roxy and I, then Banjo came along and they all wanted to play. And they were being very cheeky and very rough. Lucy at 22kg is quite heavy and she was jumping on and off the bed...or should I say on and off ME. Roxy thought that was great so climbed up and sat on my shoulder. I'm taking no interest and trying to watch a miovie on my portable DVD next to my bed. Eventually, Lucy decided it was close enough to dinner time so I fed her and Roxy and the three of them went outside. Ahhh! Bliss. Peace at last.

No, I'd say having Harmony in bed with me at night helps me sleep. And if she's snuggled up against me when I wake up, I really don't want to get out of bed... Though, sometimes, she can be a pest and start scratching at the furniture if she thinks I really should get up and tend to her needs.

Yessssss they sure do! It's not all the time though but sometimes we'll hear them have a few choice words with each other. Hubby can make a pssst sound really loud that they scramble and I have a spray can that just blows out a bunch of air and that'll make them scramble and leave one another alone. One has to be the dominate one and some of the others want the title but we want none of that so we give them that one psssst sound and no one becomes the dominate one! At least not on that particular night! lol

Oh yes and I only sleep with one! I used to have both of them in the room with me until Hewy smashed ornaments and continually meowed at the door! He has his own room now...Rosie is still with me and manages to wake me by licking my face or lying on my pillow right next to my head purring very loudly! Gotta love em!

Mine don't keep me up at night, but if I wanted to take a nap..well...that is another story. In the mornings when my alarm clock goes off..the babies like to help get me up. They are ready to go out.

Our doggies stay quiet for the most part. they do wake us up sometimes but that is only occationly. they do like to bark at anything that moves outside in the yard, espicaly the smallest dogie.

They didn't keep me up at night. If I slept longer than they thought I should though they would make sure to wake me up.

nope they never did

When I first brought my cats home, they would be up meowing all night. However, if I let them into the room, they were even worse - wrestling, jumping on top of me and smothering my face all night long. A friend said you have to wear them out during the day, by letting them run around outside (mine are indoor cats but can go out on the screened porch) with all their toys, playing games with them, and just making sure they weren't being too lazy during the day. My cats especially like the laser light we got them as they'll chase anything that moves. They have since gotten much better with the passing months (they are almost ten months old now). One of them would sleep the whole night long if the other didn't come and pounce on her and get her all stirred up, but even he has begun to settle down come nighttime. I wake up in the morning and come downstairs to find them all curled up in their beds, ready for fun!

Do I ever know what you mean! My 5 little stinkers love to run up and down our long hallway but somehow they love it the most at around 2 am. Then when THEY think it's time for us to get up and feed them nothing is going to keep them from their mission. They all meow like crazy, especially Lipsy, the loudest and most persistent one. Lipsy will get up in bed wit me and start licking my nose, INSIDE my nostrils, and Flicka just licks the rest of my face and neck, adding a little "love bite" now and again if I don't respond. Meanwhile, Bella, Moshie and Squirt just meow, non-stop. My husband is always threatening to keep them all awake all day since they keep us awake at night but so far he hasn't managed to do it. When cats want to take a nap, they'll find a place to take a nap. Annie
