Friday Guest Wake up Geniuses

Today’s guest is Lilly from Columbus, Ohio. She and her cousin Mayzie in New Jersey are oh, so smart when it comes to waking up their staff members.

Hi from The Ohio State University, Romeo!

My wake-up technique is simple and effective. I like to call it “face-time”! The strategy is to get as close as felinely possible to owner’s face, and make enough noise for her to slightly wake up. Believe me, when she opens her eyes and sees another pair staring straight back, she shoots out of bed in a flash!

Another face technique I like to use is the sandpaper facial. My size is key here (I’m a curvaceous 16-pound lady). Position self on chest of owner until their breathing starts to get difficult… but careful, sometimes this can backfire and they think you want extra cuddle time! Get them back on track with a thorough face lick. A nice exfoliating, kibble-scented face wash really helps owner start the day!

Lastly, here is a pointer I picked up from my cousin Mayzie in New Jersey. She too is a purrfect plus size, and found great success by throwing her weight around.

Know that giant cat door on the staff’s bedroom? Well apparently if you have enough muscle, you can lean onto it and get a slam fit to wake even the soundest sleeping staff!

Cheers from your big-boned fan base!

Lilly and Mayzie, Pugsley and I constantly amazed by the brilliance of our readers. Sandpaper facial? Door Slamathon? Sheer genius. Thanks, Lilly and Mayzie, for sharing your tricks of the trade!
