In my own case, Little Wugsie jumps up and down on my prone person if I am more than 30 mins later than my 7.15 a.m working day rising time, punctuated with occassional head butts if I do not respond immidiately!!! It is defo solicitation even if there are "scrunchies in her bowl". At least she has given up her previous method of awaikening me which was by licking the end of my nose!!( if you wish to duplicate the effect take a sheet of 60 grit sand paper and dampen it then apply it to the end of your nose!)
