I am featuring a special guest here today. She happens to be the MASTER of wake up tactics. In fact, she wakes up everyone in the house.
Here is the Crawling Creature getting ready to use her wake up skills on yours truly. See how she’s posing for the camera to make sure her art is captured on film?

Need I say more?

Who, moi?
Climb up on top of dresser (a bookcase or shelf will work just as well) and knock all items to the floor with paw or tail. Quickly jump down and pretend you were grooming.
P.S. I have carpets but I bet wood floors would make this uber-effective.

The unintended outcome of this morning’s WWF cat match between “White Floof” Romeo and “The Puginator” Pugsley was waking up the staff at 6:15 a.m.
Apparently, it wasn’t so much the wrastling that roused her but the two of us chasing each other through the house like a “herd of damn elephants.”

And the staff says MY nose is pink. Check out this dude's sniffer!
The staff was in Chicago this weekend for some BlogHer conference and stayed with male staff member’s brother and wife. They also have a Crawling Creature. However, this is redeemed by the fact they have two cats running the household. Here is the lead cat, my cousin Troy. My other cousin is Eliza but she runs when anyone (except Troy) even looks in her direction so we got no photos of her.

1. Inside bookshelf
2. Under Crawling Creature’s crib
3. In plain sight on black chair (Pugsley only; I stand out on the black chair. Staff not that dense.)
4. On top of bookshelf
5. In bathtub (sans water)
6. Behind washer and dryer
7. In laundry basket (preferably on top of clean laundry)
8. Under big bed
9. Behind bookshelf
10. Inside carelessly-left-ajar cabinets
Who can resist an open cupboard?
Here I am with the fruits of my labor.
The Big Pull tactic is quite brilliant as it not only yields choice words from staff but also provides fun toy to play with until the staff prepares BREAKFAST.

Subtle but highly effective.
