Why does my cat wake me up early when my new partner stays over?

Question

Hi, I have 2 cats. One aged 5 (M) and one 14 (F). The 14 year old (F) usually wakes me up in arount 7am and I open the door and feed them and go back to sleep. I have recently had a new partner staying over and when they stay she wakes us between 3am and 6am and continues to disturb us until we stay up with her. She likes my new partner and is not aggressive but will not allow us to sleep. If my partner gets out of bed and goes down then she allows me to sleep longer.

Believe it or not your cat is likely jealous of your new psartner. She is likely used to having all of your attention. It is a difficult situation as you dont want to shut the cat out but likewise this will effect your relationship. You could try getting a feliway diffuser to try and calm the cat, otherwise hopefully with time she should get used to your partner being there.
