  • “Moaning” upon awakening means she’s awake, but about to go back to sleep, so getting her up and taking her out to urinate is not necessary. (It’s not too dissimilar a sound to the noises I probably make in the morning…!)
  • Whining upon awakening means she needs to go out.
  • Scratching but not making contact — “air guitar” — means she’s very tired, resisting it, and is about to crash and sleep.
  • Scratching at her neck means she itches.
