Every morning around 5:00 or 5:30 or so, my cat will start jumping up
on the bed then jumping from there to the windowsill, then back down
onto the bed, then onto the floor. She'll repeat this over and over
and over until I get up. Having food and water and litter has nothing
to do with it. She'll do it anyway. Then when I get up, she'll rub
against my legs the way kitties do. Even if I just want to lay in bed
and feel depressed, she won't let me. No way can I go to sleep with
her bouncing on the bed agian and again.

The song of the Sirens is irresistible. Those who hear it and have not
been tied
to the mast like Odysseus will perish among the rocks (c.f. - The
Odyssey).

I know what you mean! My furbaby has saved me from being late on more than
one occasion.  She pushes things around in my room, like she'll push the
curling iron off the vanity and things like that and then if that doesn't
work she sits on me and licks me.  Who can sleep through a sandpaper tongue
covering their entire face?!?  My only real complaint, is sometimes she's
early!

We just lost our cat in July & I've been oversleeping ever since (don't
really care since I'm retired).

We have 5 cats but only 1 of them serves as an alarm clock!  When he thinks
it's time for me to get up, he begins walking on top of me from head to foot
and back again, over and over until I get up.  True with him as well, it's
not the food or water, just want s to get me up.

Yup, great aren't they? :) Mine is pretty good about taking himself out
to the living areas for some breaky and a game on his own but he likes
to come back and warm his cold paws on me! Sometimes he wants a
playmate though and then he will bring one of his balls of paper or
foil in and drop them on my head for me to throw. I don't mind this, I
can usually manage a short game of fetch before going back to sleep but
he did get me out of bed the morning he dropped a chicken neck in my
hair!!!!

Chicken neck?  Too funny! :-)
