I just realized this morning that when I put my pantyhose on in the morning, Pookey takes a drink of water (the bowl is near the chair I sit on).

Why did I realize it this morning? He sat next to his water bowl and meowed until I got my pantyhose out of the drawer and sat in the chair, then he stopped meowing and took a long drink. Reflecting back, he's drank when I put my pantyhose on every morning the past couple weeks...

I hope he doesn't expect me to do it on weekends.

Teehee, I can see poor Pookey sitting next to his water on the weekend waiting for his signal to drink. Samantha, my meezer at the Bridge used to get up and go to "her" litter box every morning at the same time I went to the bathroom. If for some reason I detoured and turned the coffee on first she would wait outside the bathroom door until I went in then she would come in and get in her box next to the toilet.

Ok, routine in our house starts with Kasha DEMANDING breakfast before I pour my java. Hubby laughs and pours his. Normally when I go the bathroom to do my duties, that is when she goes kitty box. Hubby lays down on the couch at night, and she is there DEMANDING her treats (bad habit taught by Bradley). Now the question is who is training who?

>>is there DEMANDING her treats (bad habit taught by Bradley). Now the question is who is training who?

Sounds familiar. I can go and come in the kitchen with no hassles but DH gets the begging treatment when he goes through.
They know I don't give treats but he's a sucker. (No reason for me to give them when I know he loves to!)

Octavia will go to bed with us and then leave for fifteen minutes, like clockwork. Evidently she has rounds to make to check the house and cats (doesn't consider herself one). Then, she comes and makes herself comfy, usually against my head or knee. (Unfortunately, sometimes ON the knees and then I wake up in pain!)

(sigh) Romeo and I use to complete the morning routine together. I miss him.

Annie cat stands in the doorway of the nursery whenever I change a diaper. She appears there like a ghost even if I haven't seen her for hours before hand.

For the past few months, Punky's favorite has been a tall, skinny book. We read it everyday, at least once a day and Annie usually joins us; cat on one side of mama, toddler on the other. Punky is learning Mother Goose, I can't speak for the cat....

These are great routines!

Pookey definately has some set routines like getting me up at 6AM for treats (started the past couple years because I medicated Stanley at 6AM each morning and gave both treats after). Pookey has kept that routine.

Another I love is that whenever I check the door before bed to make sure it is locked, he has to be with me. When he senses it is bedtime, he runs to the front door and meows. The main reason for this is more time is spent in a petting session than actually looking at the lock...

We then have a bedtime routine, primarily in which he is with me a few minutes and then he too has to get up and do a roaming house check, get a drink of water, then come back to bed...

The panty hose = drink water threw me since it was such an odd routine!

Quentin expects to be fed about 5:00 every morning. We both get up early for work, so he is used to eating breakfast at that time. Star isn't as demanding.
Also the cats will pawpunch each other while they're waiting for their breakfast. This happens every morning. I have no idea why they do this; they don't seem angry with each other, it's more like a ritual. Afterwards, they'll eat and act like nothing ever happened.

For me it's 4:30 am and when the weekend comes around, Boris still thinks it is time to get up.

Goodness, Pam. I am glad it is 6AM here for years with the boys on weekdays and weekends...

However, Pookey is still meowing in the night without Stanley, and although it is much better, he will wake me between 2 and 4AM for a while each morning and then usually settle down until 6AM...

the gurls dont seem to have any real routines, however, back in the 70's I had a cat with a fascination for my mothers hair. Every morning he would patiently wait on the back of her favorite chatr. AS soon as she sat down he would start patting and stroking her head....very wierd...she got to where she didnt bother to comb her hair until after he had done his little ritual
