Out of sync

I think that we need to introduce a family meeting once a week, the cats and I. On one hand they have learned that the dinner table is off limits, but they wake me up by miaowing miserably outside my bedroom door early in the morning, and when I finally cave in and open the door, they come in and play like crazy on me and my bed.

Then I give up and get up. Five minutes later they fall asleep and sleep until late afternoon. This is just not on.
