Sometimes cats can exhibit unwanted behavior that we don't want to put up with.

A striking example is the "night life" of a pet.

Some pets start to actively play, fool around, make noise and do other important things when night falls.

Therefore, it is worth finding out why your beloved animal behaves this way.

What are the reasons?

Strong connection with instincts

It is worth remembering that the ancestors of cats were nocturnal. It was under the cover of darkness that they went hunting, as this helped them remain unnoticed.

That is why some cats have retained this habit, experts note.

Attracting attention

Some cats find it important to spend time with humans, although this may seem unexpected to us. As it turns out, not all pets are equally indifferent to us.

If you don't notice your pet, she will find a way to attract attention. Therefore, "night games" become a great solution to the problem.

Lack of activity

Many domestic cats lead a passive lifestyle, which is harmful to their health and psycho-emotional state. Therefore, the animal may decide to "do some sports" at the most inopportune moment.

If you start to notice that your cat is often playing around at night, start playing with her every evening.
