Lately I've been woken up in the wee hours

by the unsheathed claw of Riff the kitten. It's not a hard scratch but enough to wake me up. She's got bizarre feeding times that I'm trying to correct. Her belly alarm goes off at 4am, and she begins the scratching, wanting food.
I've tried feeding her late at night but her internal alarm still rings at 4.
It's annoying. As I usually can't get back to sleep and 4am is too damn early to be upright and awake.
Do I ignore her until a decent hour?

Close your bedroom door. So she can't come in to wake u up

@smileylovesgaming She freaks out if she can't sleep under the blankets with me. If she doesn't, she raises kitty hell. Also my bedroom door doesn't close.

@trackboy that would be smart leave a little in the bowl when she went to bed.

@smileylovesgaming why you not been leaving food in the bowl when you go to bed?? you should fix your door latch too. is easy to do. do you pet the cat a lot? carry it around? rub its tummy??? rub its chin and ears??? fluff its fur??? 😺

@trackboy The door is screwed. And if I leave food in her bowl my other cat will eat it.
