It was 40 minutes past my demon kitty's breakfast time and I was the only human in the house. To wake me up, Ziggy:

Pulled a project bag off the shelf by the bed;

Sat heavily on my feet (scientists should study how he can change his personal gravity so effectively); and

Repeatedly pulled the bag's string ties through his teeth so the knot at the end audibly snapped out.

He only uses the sequence on me because he knows I care about him not destroying my knitting (without actually touching the knitting, just casually implying the threat). If my dad's up then it's just sitting up on his hind legs and resting his front paws on the armchair (it's novel enough for Dad to get his attention). For MrJane it's usually just meowing, sometimes a single claw to an exposed arm or ear. One time he played a metal-rod-sided rubbish bin on the bedside table like a harp with his claws.
