Breakfast strategies

It is tough being a kitty when first your mother left you for an overseas posting and then the surrogate mother (SMS) went off for a trip. I am by myself most of the day until the sitter lady (SL) comes back in the evening. She is OK but not the same as my SMS.

Every morning I would wake SL at about 5am (or earlier) to give me breakfast, even though I still have food in my bowl. The routine is as follows: first you scratch, mieow and make as much noise as you can at the door, then when it opens jump onto the bed and walk around and over the lump randomly, finally, if there is still no reaction, go under cover and give bitey on her toes. The last one usually works!
