    At 06:00, my cat is taking a massive shite in his box to make room for 07:00 breakfast. The smell of the little bastard’s handiwork makes the wallpaper peel. I love him but would love him more if he’d learn to use the toilet.

      You might find the stink less terrible if you can convince him to eat different food. I foster, so I meet a lot of cats, and have found that avoiding fishy foods and high carb foods (kibble) really helps make their poops less stinky.

      I also have a different type of litter in the box in my bedroom because I’ve noticed that my cats don’t mind peeing in that litter, but will only poop in it if it’s the only box available.

    My dog likes to sleep in. She will poke her head out of the covers at 7:30am, watch me get up and then go back to snoring.

    I had a cat who woke me up at 4am for breakfast. He adopted me and my wife, so he arrived with that peculiarity. This was before we got an automatic food dispenser. I miss that little guy every time I’m awake before 5am.

      Was about to say: the cat wouldn’t be resting by the side of the human, its butt would be right on the face! 🤣

    My adorable elderly cat Buttons starts asking for food between 3-5:30am depending entirely on the roll of some arcane dice only she can see.

    I could theoretically ignore her sad little meows while she purrs very loudly, going she won’t throw up soon after (if not fed) due to her lifetime of sinus issues and constant goopy buildup or just grumble while carrying her down to her food.

    So far she’s won every single such decision.
