They are so smart. Thankfully none of my three do anything like that, well one tends to wretch in the mornings and THAT gets me up and moving especially when he is on the bed with me but I don't think that is intentional.

I do have a friend who has a cat who throws temper tantrums. That cat, when mad, goes into the bathroom and slams the door shut. Then he wails and howls and mewls really really loudly so they have to come rescue him. If he does not get what he wants it is back to the bathroom, slam the door and repeat. It is hysterical. If it was my house I would just keep all the doors shut but then I guess ripping the curtains would probably be the next thing. They are smart and persistent.

Of course, that's because it's not one of mine! Yeah, mine (and roommate's kitteh) are the garden variety meowing with the occasional jump on chest and peer into face sort for wakeup.

they could solve the problem by not locking the cats out at night.

This is why I don't need an alarm; I feed the critters in the morning, they know what time I'm "supposed" to be up, and if I'm not, the cat will sit on my chest, pat at my face, and chew on my hair until I am, while the dog rests her head on the bed and "talks" to me.

If I told her I had to be awake by 4:30 for a flight, she'd be pawing my face at 4:25.
On normal morning she was always within seconds early of the alarm clock no matter what time I set it to.

If I wanted to sleep in, she'd wait patiently until 5 minutes after the alarm should have rung and gleefully announce "enough"

would pull the door to a cabinet and release it making an irritating banging sound. It was his way of saying he wanted fed.
