We shut our bedroom door at night to avoid just such tactics.

What is this "door shutting" techbnique of which you speak? I believe I speak for cat owners everywhere when I say I need to learn this trick.

That's for older operating systems. Our kittens use the button located on Eric's face.

That's for small cats who have no leverage.
18-pound cats do different things.

If I'm sleeping on my side, Kurt hurls himself at my shoulder with his front paws to shake me awake. Repeatedly. This can be preceded or followed by howling. Near my head.

I forgive these tactics if I get up and discover an empty food bowl.
I do not forgive these tactics when I waddle back to bed and discover the cat under the covers in the warm spot I just vacated.

Ahh, an advantage of having a cat that only ate dry food was that rarely was there a time when she needed to be fed while I was sleeping. On the occasion when she did manage to run out of food at night, she was a terror.

Heh. Around here the issue is weight management and therefore food rationing. Were I to supply unlimited kibble, The Robust One might weigh 25 pounds!
