Yeah, I got lucky with my cat too. If I sleep in, she sleeps in. Even if she’s not sleeping in, she just curls up in my arm and will sit there, just awake and chillin. When I go to bed, she’s ready for bed. She gets in, curls up in my arm, and is ready for sleep.
When she was a kitten, she was definitely bad about playing with my face at random hours of the night. But I sort of trained her to not wake me up. She wouldn’t eat until after I woke up-like, a few hours. So she never associated me waking up with food. It was just sort of the routine that she ate away from bedtime. Boom, perfect cat.
