    I have a 17 yr old long haired tortie. She is a very... opinionated cat. She likes her routine and if that routine is disturbed she gets cranky. My wife and I go to bed every night at 10:30ish. God forbid we stay up late watching trashy reality TV (latest is The Traitors on Peacock) We stayed up till 11:30 watching it while she talking each other in Mario kart (we each have our own switch)

    Chloe (the cat) did not appreciate us staying up late. She started gently. Nuzzling our hands while we were playing our switches. I may have passed my wife at the last second because of this. After nuzzling she ran over to the stairs to get us to follow.

    When we didn't, she resorted to knocking crap down and as soon as it fell she ran to the stairs ready to go up. We still didn't come she let out the saddest most pathetic meows you ever heard. When we came over to check on her she dashed up the stairs and ran into the bedroom. When we followed her again she climbed into her spot started purring and rolling over, because she finally got her way.

    Wookard 5 days ago My computer chair used to be close to the end of my bed. My cat would start tapping on my should at 11pm that it was bed time. He did it for years. Moved to a new house a few years ago so it's a different layout but he's getting old now and is normally sleeping earlier already in his bed by my pillow.

    Speakingwater. 5 days ago I get bullied by a 6 lb cat to go to bed. We have a routine and if I deviate from it, she gets mad. She starts off with staring at me from her spot. If I ignore her, she starts jumping on me, then knocking whatever I'm doing out of my hands, and shoving her face in my face. She will force me to make eye contact with her as she chuffs at me in annoyance. Then if I don't go to bed fast enough she just yells at me. Then if I don't settle into bed quick enough for her she s

    ezmia. 5 days ago Oh my god yes. My (almost) 13 year old orange cat can be a complete nightmare sometimes. He can have everything he wants. Food, clean litter tray, water, lots of cuddles but on some nights he still won't stop screaming at a certain time. I figured out one day irs because he wants me to go to bed. Not out of any care for me or a routine. But because he wants cuddles while I'm in bed. They're different from the cuddles when I'm not in bed because he likes sitting on my chest and

    It's adorable but it's also kinda embarrassing to have your bedroom dictated to you by a cat who barely weights 6lbs.

    IPTV_Stud 5 days ago Our Calico used to come to my office at night, meow and run out. Rinse and repeat until I followed her to bed. If she was doing her rounds and I told her it was bedtime, she would show up in her own sweet time. She was the torture master in the morning, smack him in the nose, didn't work, poke him in the eyes. I pull the cover over my head, OK, I'll sit on your face. He's still not up, I'll start knocking sh off the dresser. Still no response, I'll drag my paws down the mirr

    shedgehog 5 days ago . Yup ours does. We have two cats and one sleeps on our bed every night. If we're not in bed by our usual time he'll come downstairs and meow until we go up. Even as we're brushing our teeth and doing the bedtime routine he'll keep meowing until we're both actually in bed.

    VeganBilly_73 . 5 days ago My Moms cat would do this to her. Mom would fall asleep watching TV and then at bed time Lucy, the cat, would come wake her up and walk her to the bedroom.

    veromaye. 5 days ago He forces me to go to bed because he sleeps cuddling so if I'm not in a specific position to do it, he gets angry.

    Meowcat0206 · 5 days ago Haha I was just at going to say this. Mine both enjoy poking me until I get up. Gently at first, just a soft paw to the head. Then more aggressively, a bit of claw comes out or they move from my head to my eye socket.

    DrHugh 5 days ago One of my cats will do this, but only sometimes. He'll come and meow at me, and if I get up he will trot towards the bedroom, but he'll come back if I don't keep following him. When I do get there, he'll jump on the bed. He's waiting for me to get under the covers, so he can lie down on top of them. Some nights, he doesn't care, but other nights, it is very important to him.
