Wait patiently my skinny arse... If I'm a couple of minutes late waking up, mine are licking my eyelids to see if the soft parts are ready to eat yet.
Of course, the best part of that is that we humans, with no claws to speak of, no teeth to speak of (or none, in my case) generally pick fierce carnivores for pets.
Opposable thumbs rock.
