Miko pounces all the time too! The mornings are bad for me too, Miko licks my face until I start moving and then will sit right in front of me staring at me doing his little talking voice that he does until I wake up.
If he hears the alarm clock, he knows I'm supposed to be up so he won't ever let me sleep even a few more minutes. Then, when I let him out of the bedroom, he runs like a crazy dog all over the house. He has more energy than he knows what to do with.
Also, we're taking care of my aunt's dogs for a few weeks and he won't leave Mischa alone. Everytime he sees her, he is just completely full of energy and pounces on her and jumps all over her. And they chase each other all over the house.
He pounces whenever he's trying to sneak up on me too! It's so adorable, I wish I had a video of it.
But sometimes, he just wants to be cuddly and sweet too
