Clever cats?

[Scragend]

Hi - Our cat uses ingenious methods to get us up in the morning. I'm a drummer, and he used to pick at the corner of a rug in our band practice room (opposite the bedroom) which would bang on the skin of the bass drum ... dong... dong... dong... over and over again. I thought it might have been a flukey thing, but we recently moved and he discovered that our bedroom door is very creaky, and he holds it with his paw and slowly opens and closes it to wake us up! Anyone else got stories of really clever animal ideas?

Lovely stories of your cat's antic's Scragend, I had a cat who used to paw at my eyelids "very gently" to wake me up in the morning, if that didn't work he proceeded to lick my face as I always pretended to be asleep at this point.
Another one "Merlin" who I called my furry alarm clock used to paddle on my head, if I took no notice he stated to cry continuously until I gave in and got up, all this used to start from 5-6 o'clock in the morning.
I think pets are much cleverer than we think, "Bless their little hearts" X X X //// ^-..-^ \\\\

My cat has a toy mouse that if you throw for him he will bring it back to you again.. he has also worked out how to 'paw' his food out of the tin and eat it, he also literally hugs me.. .. actions of a clever cat i'm told... my other cat can't or won't do any of these things.. very clever by choosing to be a typical lazy cat maybe?

I am not sure if my cat was lazy or stupid - he did the usual stuff - waking me up during the night etc. But he just licked me, bit me or sat on me to wake me up.

Granted he was old when I got him - maybe he was clever when he was younger - yeah!
