Heidi (my darling old Siamese) used to try and get my attention by tapping my face gently while I was asleep. The taps would gradually get harder and when that failed (I used to pretend to be asleep) she would stick one claw in my nostril and slowly pull it out. That usually got my undivided attention.
Sally has a couple of other methods for getting attention.
There is the back into your shoulder/face when you are sleeping which results in you waking suddenly with a mouth full of Sally rump.
Then there is the tap on the back when on the computer - if ignored it starts coming with claws.
Of course there is always the purring loudly in your ear with meowing.
BTW Sp1 is still looking at Bentley and going Awwwwwww
