It's been very erratic.Â* Most days when I'm scheduled I get out of bed

decided to treat every day as if I have to get up at 7:30. LOL

I didn't have to be at work this morning until 10:00.Â* I don't have to
work *at all* tomorrow (4/18).Â* But whatcha want to bet, she'll meow at
me around 7:30AM?Â* I'll mumble "it's not time yet" and turn over. She'll
give me a little kitty kiss on my cheek. Awwww, sweet!Â* But no, I'm not
getting out of bed yet.

She'll purr in my ear.Â* (That tickles!)Â* Sometimes she combs my bangs
with her teeth.Â* She did that this morning.

It's all very endearing, except when I don't actually have to get out of
bed at 7:30. LOL

It's not as if she doesn't have some kibble and plenty of water.Â* She
doesn't need me to get up and feed her.Â* She's usually been snuggled
with me most of the night.

I think she's doing this on purpose. I disrupted her schedule by leaving
the house, never quite know when!Â* So she decided to try to put *me* on
a schedule. LOL

We all know that our cats know the time. What you've done is
accidentally train her for a 7.30 a.m. start. Boyfriend used to do this
too when I was working and it's a bit irritating when you have a chance
for a lie in. I had to get up at 6 a.m. for work, so that was even worse!
Buffy is not doing this "on purpose" to get you back in retaliation.
Cats are not capable of such abstract thought as that. She now thinks
it's the time to get up and see you.
When I retired it took several weeks for Boyfie to stop meowing outside
my bedroom at 6 a.m. because I ignored him. You won't be able to retrain
your girl when you're often up at 7.30 and sometimes not.
