Three hours later there's a paw on your face, then meowing at the door, then nipping toes. Lunch is due, and you're the only one who can serve it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGet up once to feed them and you've taught them that waking you works. Tomorrow they'll be back earlier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat we found\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe kept finding the same threads from nurses and shift workers. The cats themselves are lovely. The schedule clash is brutal, especially on rotating rosters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe advice from experienced owners and animal welfare groups lines up. Stop being the food source. Feed on a schedule from a device that opens on its own, and don't reward the wake-up calls. Cats adapt to the routine of the bowl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlenty of automatic feeders only handle kibble, or rely on apps and wall power.
