Does your cat tell you when it's time for bed?

Or is it just mine? He's so frigging bossy! He's a Siamese and at about this time at night, if I don't make a move towards the stairs he starts yawning ostentatiously...and staring. Then if I don't move, he runs up and down the stairs crying.

Hmm

Ah...he's JUST headed towards the stairs now...

Ours doesn't take us to bed, but wakes DH any time from 5.45 by tapping insistently on the cheek Grin. He has now stopped feeding her when he gets up and leaves it for me when the DC have breakfast. It seems to have stopped the 'cheek tap' for now...

Mine tell me when to wake up instead. My tabby comes in at about 8 or 9 (latest) every morning and sits on my face. Literally. She has this thing about being as close to my face as possible - lying down is the best but if I'm in a chair she'll sit on my chest/shoulder!

My cat, Mia she's is Tortoiseshell

If she want me to to bed, she would bit my toes until I give up..... Once she bits my feet toes and waiting at the door to let's me know she want to go to bed

She doesn't meow as she know I'm deaf, it is only way to bits me, even my fiance in the bed but she's just want mummy (me) go with her

I keep tell her I'm the boss of the house, but she won't take it, she's the boss of house

My late puss Troy would come downstairs just before 10pm. I'd say "Is it time for bed?" He'd meow and sit at the bottom of the stairs and race me up them.

Another long gone puss would settle down on the same part of the sofa at around 10pm. I had friends around one night and he sat looking at my friend. She said "why is he looking at me like that?" I replied " you're sitting on his bed and he wants to go to sleep".

Cats are nocturnal.

My cat does wake me up at 4.30 am every day for feeding. Luckily I'm old so I need to get up to pee then anyway.

Cheddar sleeps on my bed in the evening, then comes down about 9pm to
Tell me it's nearly bedtime. Grin

I never see mine in the evening or night. He goes out and only pops in and out.
he is 13 and now has a neurological problem with his brain. But he still spends most of the night outside. Doesn’t wander at all. Just sleeps underneath the car.
Will wake me up for food about 5 ish. Even though I leave food down for him to eat all night.
