I get the 4 AM morning bawling. She's been in all night and is wanting to go out. She also bawls when she knocks something over like a box or stack of magazines. But there's also the bawling that means she wants:
- more food in her bowl.
- some canned cat food.
- whatever is in the can when we use the electric can opener.
- to play.
- to jump in the window.
- the curtain opened so she can jump in the window.
- attention.
- to sit on my lap.
- to be petted.
- help getting out whatever she lost under the couch.
The problem is I'm not smart enough to figure out what all the bawls mean. Just when I think I know what she wants, I'm proven wrong.
Lately she's been bawling more than usual. She's in a lot more during the winter and she eats a lot more. Much, much more. So we've been limiting the amount of food we're giving her. Which in turn makes her bawl even more. (Guess she's like a human.)
Except I'm not sure a human would do this when you pull in the driveway. As soon as I turn off the engine she jumps on the hood and perches at the rear view mirror until we get out.
