Oof, I have a cat like this. Usually she's not too bad, but if she gets agitated at all she's a horror story. 17 years of this, too. Normally, it's better to just tire the cat out with playtime during the day at a time more convenient for you. She wants attention, mostly. If cats didn't have social needs they wouldn't make good pets, and cats do have a strong need to socialize with their humans. Normally she's good and only comes in at about 9, 9.30am when I usually want to get up. But sometimes she gets it into her head that we need to be up much earlier, usually if we're having trouble sleeping and she notices we're sort of awake. Or lately she wants the faceted crystal baubles in the window to throw off rainbows for her to attack, but it's the wrong time and she doesn't get it and thinks we activate it. She'll take me to the stair window first thing when I get up, and put her paws up on the sill and complain and complain, but there's aught I can do!

The contrast is that if I or my partner are feeling sick or depressed in the morning, she's just the sweetest, kindest creature and will just snuggle and purr, and won't care what time you finally get up. But if you're healthy? Forget it. We say that she's Momma to our Owen, for those of you who have seen Throw Momma From the Train.
