Morning cat says wake up!

Why oh why does Panzer have to make loud noises at 7am? When he wants to wake up my wife he licks her or lays with her until she wakes up. Granted at one time he would punch her in the face if she didn't stir but that was 4 weeks ago. Every morning for weeks now he has ran past me as I sleep, tearing around the carpet like its a race track. Then if I don't budge he opens a cabinet door and slams it. Not to get in, just to make the noise. He repeats this over and over until I get up OR squirt him with water. However I can't get him with the water now as he KNOWS that is my defense. So he watches me then tears ass out of the room and goes to sleep.

d00d, I never wake him up when he sleeps. My wife wakes him up all the time but I never do! Now I could take this as him wanting my attention (negative attention) but I think he does it for fun because he just goes to sleep after wards. Today when I get home... I'm gonna wake him up. :P

The beast now dominates the household. If not by his silly antics then by size. Our other cats use to seem large but now that Panzer is starting to fill out that's not the case. He stands a few inches taller than our cat Lou and is twice the size of our smallest. Its almost as if he had a teenage growth spurt and gained two pounds and grew about one inch taller. The most noticeable change is in his width and muscle mass. This week alone he's rampaged through the house to destroy the window ledge we mounted and tore the curtains off the wall. Before that is was bending the metal on a lead and clawing huge holes in our metal screens. To be fair it's not all his fault. He's just VERY excited and playful now that spring is here. The other cats are older so he wants to play and no one is awake. The wife and I try our best but some days he's just more energy than we can muster up. My wife does a great job keeping him under control, but without the squirt bottle (just water) I doubt he would listen to us. When he wants to be bad... he's all out Ned Flanders. *reference to the Simpsons episode about little Ned Flanders being really bad*
Below you'll get an idea of the size difference between Panzer and our smallest cat Monkey. Monkey is 4 years old and 7 lbs. A normal sized house cat.
