[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Play with her twice a day. If she’s a young cat, you have to get their energy out.

Give her kibble in one of those cat food ball toys. That will help her stay busy too.

Give an extra one over night in case she is hungry [/quote]

Best advice. Most important PLAY with her in the evening. Like a laser pen session where she’s running all over the place. And lap time too. Then she’s getting her needs met. [/quote]

Oh dear.

You do know cats are nocturnal?

Nature and evolution means that cats want to be up and awake at night.

Sunny days are the time for sleeping.

Cats are not nocturnal; they are crepuscular.  Which still means they awaken pretty early.[/quote]

Cats are nocturnal.

That is ehy they have the slit eyes and night vision that they have.

NP, but the pp was correct...cats are crepuscular.  It means they're most active at dusk and dawn.  Ways to deal with it are to provide adequate daytime /stimulation (games, toys...things that keep them awake so they'll be tired and sleep later), don't reward the undesired behavior (because they'll keep doing it if it achieves the desired outcome), and manage their environment during the overnight hours so that they don't/can't disturb you (towels to stop the door from rattling, white noise machines, confining them to far away parts of the house).[/quote]
