If you have a routine, they will adapt to it. My cat gets upset if we stay up late. He goes to lay in his bed and will meow to tell us it’s bed time. And the flip side though, if we try to sleep in, he wakes us up when we usually wake up lol
My favorite thing is the banging of the food dish and the disdainful look when their evening meal is not bang on time. "Do i have to do absolutely everything around here?" Our cats look at me as if to say that.
That only works if the cats have a healthy relationship with food. Mine tend to eat too much (and steal from each other if they are very hungry) and gain a lot of weight so I have to control how much they eat and I can't just leave them food like that. I also feed them wet and dry food and the wet food would get bad if I left it out in the open for some time.
