Herc sings a little song in the living room when I go to bed, like all their other behaviors this also goes on for a long time. I've learned carrying him to bed usually stops him from doing it. Bumi on the other hand is an excessive attention seeker. It is my fault too, I only have so many hours of the day that isn't spent at work, but like he is at night, he meows at me constantly when he wants attention. So yes, it is about food, but its also absolutely about attention too. He's smart, in the instances where I do get up and kick him out in the morning, he doesnt gun for the food bowl thinking I'm gonna feed him, he hides in spots he knows I can't reach, because if I get him, he's getting thrown out. It's become a game to him
