=========================
Sandra,
I also have a 6 a.m. alarm clock by the name of Raider. Lucky for me I'm
*suppose* to get up at that time anyway. Truthfully I enjoy being *asked
for* attention. It took some getting used too, I'll admit. I did the same
thing you did for a while. Pick him up, put him down - only to have him
do it 10X over! I then figured out he just wanted a bit of a tummy rub,
a snuggle, then a jog around the bed (under the covers, thru my legs,
etc...). Once this morning ritual is complete, I give him a little treat
(kept next to my bed) and he's on his merry way. Now I know some will say
this encourages him to wake me up every morning for a morning treat - all
I'm saying is this "WORKS for ME and RAIDER". I tried giving him the
snuggle and jog only - but he'd keep coming back. I finally figured a
treat might make him go to his hidey hole - which it did.
Anyway, please let us know of all the suggestions you get, what ends up
working for you and Clover.
FuzzHugz,
Tanya
