Her cats, perched like statues on her bed, were silently watching her every move.
What she thought would be a heartwarming wake-up filled with affection quickly turned into the realisation that her feline companions had a different agenda.
Breakfast alarm
Captured in a viral TikTok video, which has racked up nearly a million views, the scene shows the two cats sitting still, their gaze fixed on their owner.
One even reaches out to prod her gently with its paw as if to check if she's awake. Their mission is clear: it's breakfast time.
Life with cats
While she admits her cats can be loving in the mornings, their primary focus is often on getting their food, and they won't stop until they do.
The video has struck a chord with fellow cat owners, many of whom shared similar stories of early morning food demands from their pets.
Despite the humorous realisation that she's their servant when it comes to meals, the owner doesn't seem to mind too much, acknowledging that it's all part of life with cats.
