What to do if your cat keeps waking you up at night: a simple solution
For many cat owners, it will come as a revelation that these animals spend an average of 12-14 hours sleeping.
Why does this seem surprising? It's simple - returning home from work in the evening, the owners of purring cats see an awake cat, whose activity only increases with the onset of night.
The thing is that cats are hunters by nature and prefer to go in search of prey at night, while they spend the day on their bed.
Although this is absolutely normal, perhaps all cat owners would still like to change the established order of things in order to enjoy a peaceful sleep at night.
First, it is worth figuring out why the cat cannot sleep at night. One of the reasons may be boredom.
In this case, it is worth tiring your pet out during the day so that he replenishes his strength at sunset. If you are at work during the day, offer your tail games that he can play on his own.
In addition, a cat can cause nighttime awakenings if it lacks attention.
And again, the solution is the same: spend as much time as possible with the cat, talk to him, stroke him and play.
Finally, a cat may force you to lift its head off the pillow if it wants to eat. An automatic feeder or a change in the cat's habits will come to the rescue - wean the animal off eating late at night or early in the morning, without reacting to its attempts to wake you up.
