Cat schedules

Oh heck no! lol I have 9 cats and there's no way to remember who slept where and when. They all have their own schedules in which they do as they please when they please. Every chair is a place to sleep, every kitty/dog bed is for them along with our bed and the spare bedroom bed, couch and where ever else they find. It's like kitty city here! lol

Our cat is now older so she sleeps alot. She does love to spend time straightening out her litterbox. The time she wants to play or get my attention seems when I am trying to sleep at night. I finally had to put her in another room at night with her food, water and litterbox so I could get some sleep. I do like watching her during the day. She likes to pick on the dog.

My Josie sets my schedule. She wakes me up in the morning. Helps me in the bathroom. Takes me down stairs and waits for breakfast. After breakfast is naptime. She sits with me as I have lunch. And if I take a nap, she is with me. She tells me when it's time for dinner and watches TV with me in the evenings. Bedtime is announced by her and we go up together. None of the others take such good care of me.

My cat used to sleep alot though I always kept him inside and never let him out I was so afraid he would run away even though I had him fixed. He would play around in side a little but not much. I recently in the past couple of days decieded to give it a shot and let him get a taste of the out doors by opening the window so he could go out. I would constantly check to make sure he was near for I live in a apartment complex on the 1st floor and he would be real close not wandering off to far. I am glad that he likes the out doors and dosn't sleep alot now but galavants chaseing bugs, birds, ect. and he comes back in when he's done with the out side and will nap which isn't much except for at night when I keep him in for the night.

Mh4444, My cats seems to know their food time I never have call them and my female just sits at at her bowl and stare at me, then soon as they have their meal there ar off outside. They come in when its getting dark and go to bed on my chair, one downstaires here and my Tom goes uostaires into the spare room to sleep. Tamara

Thanks for your discusstions. I never had experience of that much regarding the sleep schedule as am a office goer. My daughter used to say that her cat sleptfor hours a day and they used to play with her and they both enjoyed playing. But she used to keep schedule for giving them milk.

Yes, I have 3 cats (a 4th added today but not counting) that have a clear schedule. They sleep from 9AM til 12:00 up for a few hours then to sleep again no later than 6:30. Then one of mine watches TV (no kidding, loves animal planet) from 8 to 10. Then they all go eat and lay around till Midnight. At that time they are up for the rest of night galloping thought the house like a herd of elephants, LOL.

The cat and the dog both like mid morning naps after they have finished their breakfasts. The differnce is the dog gets up after awhile and goes outside and the cats nap continues until the early the evening. The cat is genrally awake from 6 or 7pm until around midnight. The dog goes to bed around 8:00 until the next morning unless something exciting is going on.

My cats seem to want to eat in the morning and late at night, and sleep all the other hours of the day, if that counts as a schedule. :)
