Oh, no. You want to avoid getting involved with my first hour of the morning, which includes the dog’s first low-pitched whine, followed by the insistent nuzzling of two starving cats, more whining, and eventually “delicate” reminders from the cats of what will happen if I don’t get up.
Of course, I interrupt my peaceful sleep to feed my desperate pets! Not to do so is (in their eyes) unthinkable.
After getting up I hobble my way downstairs. You can’t really go downstairs normally with the dog in front and the two cats weaving between your feet.
On arrival in the kitchen, the cries of starving cats can freely translate to ” Is the fool opening the can yet? What a joker!” The cries are only interrupted when I put the food down.
Then there is quiet. Unless there is disagreement with my choice of type of food for breakfast – then the cries are “Idiot! Cretin! Why did we ever leave Mother!”
The dog offers to solve the issue quietly and removes any remaining cat food with his tongue. At least one of the three is always happy with breakfast.

Know all about it! Three cats of our own, plus the neighbour’s cats visit every morning to beg at my door!
Ahhh…you run a feline restaurant!
Afraid so. I’m a too-soft touch.
The cat on the top step has such beautiful markings. Hop to it, Lou!
She is a Bengal…and considers herself to be royalty. He only has the Bengal markings on his neck and belly. He wants to be the Warlord.
I have to go now they want lunch. “neoooow!!”
Haha! I know this ritual all to well. When you play butler to cats and dogs the hopes of a lie in vanish forever! Well done, Lou.
Thanks, Mason!
Mine has some of the same features, though my two animals greet me at my bedroom door with joy and love. I’m glad because I need that first thing!
Life would be very tough without them.
A local rescue wants me to take a bonded pair of Siberian huskies. I want to but it wouldn’t be wise for any of us. <3
You have a wonderful situation the way it is. Maybe two more would be just a bit too much more.
I couldn’t possibly handle huskies now and it would be unfair to Bear and Teddy. I sent them a big bag of dogfood to take some of the burden off. 🐾❤️
You have a houseful that’s for sure.
Cats are beautiful creatures
