Heh.  Pooka *knows* better than to harrass me in the morning, but if he's
hungry... all bets are off (i.e., he knows he can move faster than I can, and
probably dodge whatever I throw at him).  So I get this cat chrrrp, chrrrp,
from the bed near my face until I swat at him... then chrrp, chrrrp?  from a
safe five feet away.  On a really bad morning, both cats will sit at the door
to the bedroom (rare truce) and chrrp at intervals until I get up and feed
them.  On a really, really bad morning (for them- when I refuse to get up on
sheer stubborness), Pooka will come up and tromp all over the bed (did you know
cats can stomp?) and me and Loren until *someone* sees to his needs. 

Of course, this is all at 7:30 or so in the morning.  

darkelf, not liking her cats much at that point
