My Cat’s 6AM Chaos Is My Daily Alarm

Every morning, without fail, my cat, Mochi, decides 6AM is the perfect time to host her own Olympics. Forget gentle purring or soft paw taps—she goes full parkour: leaping across my face, knocking over water glasses, and yowling like she’s auditioning for a horror movie. I used to set alarms. Now, I just wait for the chaos. There’s something weirdly comforting about knowing someone (even if she’s a tiny, furry dictator) is so excited to see me conscious. Sure, I’m sleep-deprived and my plants are all on the floor, but I wouldn’t trade these mornings for anything. People say pets bring joy. They don’t mention the daily adrenaline rush. If you’re reading this while your dog is chewing your socks or your parrot is screaming at the wall, just know: you’re not alone. Our pets are the real highlight of our mornings—chaos and all. #PetLife #MorningRoutine #CatOwners #Pets
