I am always amazed at how cats form some habits and persist with them
consistently. Tabby in the photos loves to 'steal' my husband's office
chair when he's not occupying it. Also, she sometimes wakes him up early
for no apparent reason (has plenty of food).
Then I
discovered the following link to an article which includes reference to
cats being prone to activity at dusk and dawn. The article calls this
"crepuscular". I have heard of diurnal and nocturnal but never
crepuscular.
Both Tabby and Tiger Lily have learned to vocalize very annoying sounds.
Supposedly they try these out on us and whatever gets the responses
they want prompts them to use them perpetually. (Is this like Pavlov's
dog in reverse? Should I be embarrassed that they conditioned my
responses? (:)
