Most cats I've met are willing to nap all day long, but only on their schedule. If it's morning and they're hungry, many will stop at nothing to make sure that their humans are up, out of bed, and headed to fill their bowls with breakfast. For some cats, that means letting out a wakeup call that sounds like a lot of loud meowing, while others will paw at their humans relentlessly until they wake up and do as they're told. Having a cat is less like having a pet and more like having a small, furry boss. They don't take no for an answer!
And while blind cats have to learn how to do things differently than cats who have their sight, they still find a way to let their people know that it's time to get up, just like the feline in this video does in the morning.
In this video shared by @winstonandmoojo on Saturday, August 11, we can see a black cat named Winston trying to wake his dad up on a Saturday morning. He might be blind, but he knows exactly where his dad is and what he's supposed to be doing at that time of day!
Winston cuddles right up next to his dad, purring his little heart out. We didn't get to see her dad wake up, so we don't know how he reacts to this kind of wake up, but I do know if it was me, I would be happy to start my day this way. In fact, Winston might be the most adorable (and gentle) alarm clock in existence.
Commenters certainly seemed to agree, with one person writing, "nap time with that cat would heal me."
Why Do Some Cats Purr So Loudly?
Like anything else that relates to cats and their behavior, purring can vary from cat to cat — while some kitties do nothing but purr, others don't do it at all. That goes for their volume, too.
As Catster pointed out, there are a few reasons that could explain why some cats purr more loudly than others. Genetic factors do play a role, and some cats simply have a personality that lends itself well to being vocal and purring loudly. Some will be louder if they're trying to get your attention — or if they've found that you reacted positively in the past when they purred loudly.
And while most people know that purring is generally a sound that cats make when they're happy, there's a bit more to it than that. Some cats also purr when they're anxious or scared, including when they're in pain, so it's important to watch your cat's other cues to see if something else might be going on.
Either way, Winston seems very happy... and ready for breakfast. I hope his dad got up and fed that sweet baby!
