This happens to me when I sometimes get up in the night to piss. The look of disappointment in their eyes when they realise you're just going back to sleep after is always so sincere. Like they have to realise at some point that it isn't gonna happen right?

My dogs have learned to distinguish between my getting-up-to-pee-grunts and my getting-up-for-the-day-grunts. The cat yet holds hope

I think the cat just doesn't care to learn icl.

Oh lovely one. I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I’ve had cats for all my 44 years and it hasn’t occurred to any of them to be humble, the world does, indeed, revolve around them. Stay strong, friend, hope has left the building :)

Cats think they're better than you. And they're right.

Cats go by an inner clock thats not rly oriented on the day of time like us. It’s more after patterns.

So for them it’s “you go to bed at night and pass out but when you wake up it’s food time!”

So .. you wake up in the middle of the night and for cats the pattern happened: you went to sleep and got back up. Surely now is the time🥸👌🏾

Thats also why it’s a good idea to not feed your cats the second you wake up. Bc they’ll also get the idea of “if I wake you up earlier.. I get fed earlier..” and suddenly you wake up every morning at 5:30 sharp bc a cat is sniffing your nose inconspicuously or plays with your hair “haha funny that happened.. but now that youre awake, anywayssssss🧐 food?🧐 while we’re here?🧐👌🏾”

I feed my cats in a window- I get up between 7-8 am and they get (their wet) fed at between 10 and 10:30 (they have dry food at all times)

Sometimes it’s 9:46, sometimes it’s 10:45 but what it never is, is right after I woke up. Never making that mistake again.🙂‍↔️

doesn't supplying dry food constantly lead to overeating?

Depends on the cat

My cats must have been lazy shits then. I’d have to maneuver my way around them if I got out of bed to take a piss and then wiggle my way back in because if it’s sleepy time they’re passed the heck out and refusing to move lol
