Not all cat owners have any idea what their pets do at night while people are sleeping or leaving their homes.

At night, the pet's hunting instinct awakens or he simply wanders around the apartment without doing anything.

In fact, cats have a lot of important things to do that they usually do at night.

First, cats patrol the territory, which for some reason they consider theirs.

They may mark by rubbing their heads against upholstered furniture, sharpening their claws, or leaving scent marks.

Secondly, this is a really important activity because the cat gets rid of stress, anxiety and other discomfort.

They can monitor what a person is doing. They will be even more alert if a new family member or another animal appears in the house.

Thirdly, having done all their important business, cats come to their owner’s bed to take a nap, and then go out again to patrol the territory.

Animals make up for any lack of sleep during the day.
