My boy Dudley is the same. It’s so funny I’ll be in the living room watching TV and at a certain time he’s like “okay good night” and wanders off to the bedroom. He sleeps through the night, but will be up at dawn to watch the birds outside through the window.
I wasn't ready for this - my kitten started doing this lately (or I have to seal off the room I'm working on, ignore her pleas and let her go sleep in a kids bed).
My current kitties also get upset if I wake up too early.
Then again a lot of things upset them, including spending too much time with my wife, skipping home workouts (they get petted in between sets), and standing up too often to stretch (one of them spends ~50% of the day sitting on my lap while I code).
Otherwise they are pretty chill.
[1] TV watched when we should be playing with cat results in frustrated and distracting cat.
My cats are super careful and have maybe knocked over 1 thing.
> -wake up at 2 in the morning to some weird noises only to find the cat spiderman-ing up the screen on the window because some rats or something were outside
My cats not only sleep through the night, they insist I go to bed on time (no later than 11) or they start getting upset.
> -Oh, you were 5 minutes late feeding the cat, well have fun with non stop fucking around for the rest of the day or night
My cats are under weight (!!) so I try to feed them as often as possible.
Never had them really beg for food, though if I am eating string cheese they'll beg for that.
