Let's be honest - if you have a cat, you probably sometimes (if not always) have to wake up at night because of his playing or loud meowing.

Such increased nighttime activity of the purring cat hardly causes affection in anyone. On the contrary, the most common emotions in this case are anger and irritation.

Let's quickly find out how to behave correctly in such situations in order to wean the cat from this bad habit.

First of all, it is worth remembering that if your furry pet is the reason for your awakening, you do not need to join in its games, pet it, and especially not feed it.

Important note: the animal should not be starved, so give it the required amount of food during the day.

The number of nighttime "tygydyks" can be reduced to a minimum only if the cat is tired during the day, having run and played enough.

If you ignore this recommendation, be prepared for the fact that the cat, having found your weak spot, will continue to be active at night.

The only exception can be made if your pet is sick and needs help.
