People often say "Oh my cat's really clever", but just how clever are they?

Ship's Cat one will try to wake me up and feed him when it gets light by either nibbling my elbow, nuzzling my ear or sticking his claws into my cheek (the ones on my face, before you get too excited ladies)while Ship's Cat two will leap from the windowsill and hope the impact of her bulk setting up shockwaves will do the trick. Having ignored them this morning no.1 toppled the bedside lamp onto my head.

Got me out of bed alright but got him locked in the kitchen without getting his breakfast until 7am. Now as he regularly wakes me up only to be confined to the kitchen without the desired grub, how bright is that?

Mind you how daft am I not to shut him in before going to bed?
