This cat person forces open one eye to half squint at 5:30AM because the orange braincell is desperately crying out for food. He caught a glimpse of the bottom of the bowl between the kibbles in there, and it was very upsetting.

I will always "haha, so true!" this meme until I make the mistake of going to bed slightly early or waking up slightly late and now for the next three days I'm gonna wake up to my cat hovering over my face to see if we're making another routine change or if food still happens when the alarm goes off.

That's a filthy lie and you know it. That cat will be singing you the song of its people well before 6am.

Our dog doesn't get up until we do in the morning. He loves cuddling too much

All of the comments in this thread are why I have automated feeders.

Now I do not get woken up at 5am to the sound of crying that will continue for hours until food is served.

At least my dog knows not to poop inside. Litter boxes are gross.

Placement of the cat is inaccurate. Mine will plop down right on my head.

My cat starts telling me at 7 am that they need food.

I have a fenced back yard and the dogs get up when I do.

You know some people walk their dog later in the day…

I'm so glad all cats I've had have been free feeding and self limiting. Makes it so much easier, just fill the bowl and they eat when they feel like it. I've known cats that that was impossible though. Mother's cats were little hoovering machines.

I’ve had dogs my entire life and never had this experience once. Own dachshunds, they’ll never go out in this weather

I myself own a handful of 5 cats, each one more mopey than the last.

Oh hells no

Not because I don't want to, it's because my wiener doesn't want to

In weather like that, she'd be outside no more than 5 meters, and done in under 30 seconds and back inside again

Lol no. not at all. a lot of cats go insane around 3 or 4am. Like insane zoomies and rough housing and nonsense. Dumb memes are fine if they are funny but this is dumb and not funny. Thumbs down.

My cats know that I get out of bed very quickly when they start VOMITING ON THE CARPET AND ONLY THE CARPET EVERY MORNING.

I love dogs, but this is one of the reasons why I won't have another one.

I had a cat who developed dementia at 17. At that point, she started waking me at 5 a m. daily to feed her. For her entire life before that, she had always stayed in bed until after everyone was up and about. That last 18 months reminded me a lot of having a dog.

How about no to both and sleeping til 12:00? Ahhh that's life 😁

Try 3:30am

I don't know why people don't just litter train their dogs so that they can take care of themselves during work and sleep hours. If they have nowhere to go in the house, they'll go by the door if you're lucky, or somewhere hidden so that you have to hunt around for where the smell is coming from while they writhe with guilt and anxiety. Wood pellets are your friend.

My dogs hate the cold and heat just as much as I do. They only want to go for walks when the weather is nice.

And they're cowards most of the time, but they would fight to the death to protect our home.

Cats are good pets. Dogs are better people than humans.
