[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How to handle a cat who gets active in the middle of the night? My cat first starts by asking for food, then comes scratches my arms, (lovingly) bites me. If I don't entertain, he starts knocking things down the night lamp table, scratching on the side of the bed, meowing which is more like yowling. If I feed him, he sits quiet for half hour. The process of trying to wake me up again starts. I have tried tiring him out with toys before going to bed and also giving him his full meal before I go to bed. With that he stays quiet for a few hours and becomes extremely active by 2 am. I can keep him in another room through the night but his meow will still wake me up. Keeping him in the basement at night is another option but I want to avoid that. What have you done with your cats so they sleep through the night? I need at least 5 hours of unbroken sleep to function well during day time. [/quote]

This too shall pass but, you have to be consistent.  I would keep him out of your bedroom and wear ear plugs.  I had a cat who would throw their body on the door to get me to let her in.  You can't do that you they will keep it up.  Cats are nocturnal but, eventually they will calm down once you stop rewarding him/her.  I have five cats and they do not sleep in our room and they do not bother us ( except in an emergency0[/quote]
