In reply to hipparchia. The inside cats don't care, but the ferals gather around twilight, and twilight is an hour earlier.

bah, feeding is the easy part. everybody here is on a free-feeding schedule, which means that the dog gets free handouts whenever i eat and i fill up all the bowls with dry food whenever they look low – or whenever a cat or 2 or 5 reminds me that they can see part of the bottom of the bowl.

the dog’s bathroom schedule otoh is set in concrete and revolves entirely around light and darkness and has nothing whatsoever to do with the quaint notion of clocks.

Yes, Badtux, I know do the main feeding at 5PM instead of 6PM now, because the cats refuse to change their clocks.

We should just changed the start and stop times from 9 to 5 to 8:30 to 4:30 and forget about changing the clocks and our sleeping patterns.

In my sleepy fog last night, I set my bedside clock… forward. I guess it’s like walking on my cripple boot… fall forward, spring back. Yes, I know better, but not when I am almost completely asleep. Fortunately, I had nowhere to go this morning.

My wake-up device, alas, takes several weeks to realize that the clock has changed. Cold nose in face at 5AM (vs. 6AM) is *VERY* annoying :).

It’ s a pain, and I have to change the blog manually, as well as the microwave and car.

You do locate the most interesting ‘cats’, OWL. 😉

Thank you for reminding me. I knew it during the week, but just now, after reading, realized I would need to change my clocks.
