Since I have been diagnosed with diabetes and placed on a low-fat diet, along with medication, I wake up each morning starving to death! And they keep sleeping later and later!! In order to cure this laziness, I have developed a few techniques to solve this.
The Fly Touch
This technique similates a fly lighting on the forehead. I gently touch them with my paw with claws retracted, every 5-10 seconds until their eyes open. Keep a close watch because they will try to PEEP. Once the slightest peep is detected, go into the next technique if they do not get up right away.
The Extended Claw Touch
This technique usually makes the eyes pop open tinged with a startled look!! Be prepared to dodge the arms trying to rake you off the bed and immediately go into the next technique!
Panic Meowing
Make sure this meow rings like a siren! To accomplish it, you meow with every breath! This one usually gets them up fast, BUT if not, go into the next technique!
Cat-upuncture Trick
Get ready to remove yourself fast for this one!! Be prepared for a violent reaction! With claws extended, pluck the tender meat on the back of their neck or arms! Even though it is relatively violent, it usually does the trick! But who knows--your master may be lazier than most, so go on to the next technique if all else fails!
THE EXTREME MEASURE
I hate to mention this one here because it is offends my sensibilities but sometimes you have to resort to extreme measures if your master had a late night! You pretend to throw up!! HACK, HACK, HACK!! That should finally do it, even for the laziest of the human race!
If you have trouble with any of these measures, please feel free to email me and maybe I can explain it better!!
