Oh my, time change - nope they don't understand at all! Deacon and Gizmo (the kitten) are the absolute worst! They started asking for dinner way, way early last night. The demands are going in the wrong direction as the week progresses. Brodie and Rusty (the older cat) are more tolerant and flexible. Last night, Deacon was so off, he was demanding I put him to bed at 8. Wouldn't stop barking, wasn't happy until I got up and followed him to his kennel. Doors are open all the time and they can go in when they want, but at bedtime, the door is closed and the front curtain dropped. Mornings are a tad rough too. We just got back from being away for 6 days and the sitter was here early morning. Deacon is too lazy to wake up at the crack of dawn, but Gizmo feels he deserves to be fed.
