Cats are nocturnal animals that hunt at night. They prefer to sleep during the day and stay awake at night.
However, this situation can create inconveniences for owners who want their cats to sleep at night.
Organizing a daily routine
To train a cat to sleep at night, it is worth demonstrating to it that the owner goes to bed and wakes up at the same time. Turn off the light before bedtime, call the cat to you and give it attention - stroke it, scratch behind the ear. Let it relax and fall asleep next to you.
Repeat these steps every day to help your cat get used to the sleep schedule.
Feeding
In order for a cat to sleep soundly at night, it must be well-fed, so it must be fed before bed. Distribute the daily food ration so that in the evening the animal receives a portion slightly larger than in the morning. Then the cat will wake up less often at night.
You can also use an automatic feeder that dispenses food at a specific time so that your pet doesn't wake you up in the morning demanding his breakfast.
Entertainment
To make your cat sleep less during the day, take care of entertainment for your pet. Various balls, toy mice, and interactive games will help with this.
Hanging a bird feeder outside your window will keep your cat busy, just make sure the feeder is far enough away from the window to prevent birds from crashing into the glass.
A few hours before bed, play with your cat, for example, asking it to run after a piece of paper so that the animal gets tired and falls asleep with you.
