My midnight wake up call vs my 4am wake up call

[Hestia]

3. It's been happening to us also, starting at 11:30 p.m.! We've just gotten cozy and asleep when our

senior cats demand to be allowed into our room. I mean, c'mon, they've got the entire house while we are shut into our bedroom. Our youngest senior cat knows how to scrabble on the door like a dog! We don't want to lock them in so early into "their" bedroom (we've created a nice, snuggly space for them under the window, which goes down to the floor, so, we thought, they would leave us alone. But noooo, they have to have us. The youngest senior cat will come in and start jumping from the headboard to the bottom of the bed, then runs around the bed, you know, just being a general heathern (southern term). He's a Maine Coon mix and Maine Coons never grow up - they think they are kittens for their entire lives and are considered the clowns of the cat world. It's all fun and games until you do not get a good night's sleep.
