My dog happily jumps into my bed to cuddle as soon as he realizes I'm awake. Only when we're both sufficiently cuddled, we go on our merry way.

I wish, as soon as the sun comes up that little fucker is punching me in the face to fill up his food bowl.
He waits until the sun comes up?
Yeah, prime time seems to be about 40 minutes before sunrise, regardless of the time of year.
Y'all in this thread need to get yourselves automatic feeders and start putting out wet food during awake times and not the crack of dawn.
I will never understand letting your pets dictate wakeup hours, except in the special circumstance that it's a puppy because they can't hold their bladder. My cats have never woken me up for food. In fact my cats and dogs have always known that if they annoy me, I will stay in bed longer out of spite. I will wake up and lay in bed until I am ready to get up, and no pet is going to annoy me into feeding them. The closest I've ever had to a pet waking me up is my current golden who doesn't wake me up for food, he wakes me up to cuddle, but is fine if I go back to sleep.
It's not about what you feed them or when, it's about setting boundaries. We feed canned food morning and night. Our pets sleep on the bed, and know they will get their food when I'm ready to be awake.
My cat knows she only gets food when I get up.
Once she gets hungry she doesn't give a fuck about that and starts messing with everything next to the bed. I never give in to that and just put her outside the bedroom, but next time she will try doing it again anyway. She's determined to get her food, even if her ways have never worked. She might just be doing it out of spite tbh.
As far as my cats are concerned, any time there's not wet food available is awake time.
They make auto wet feeders now too, apparently...
That lower image is fake. The cat isn't checking to see if it's ok to start trying to eat its owner's eyeballs yet.
My dog goes outside to piss and shit. He's a very good boy.
Sure, I'll take him out for walks once I'm up but, to be honest, I need the exercise as much as he does.
My cat’s winter workout is walking from bed to food bowl and back.
Imagine sleeping in cat hair tho
imagine not
Done
Imagine doing laundry? Yeah the fur sheds, but you just clean more often to compensate, it's fine.
