Surely many cat owners have encountered the problem of their pet being extremely active at night.
It is worth considering here that these animals are predators by nature, and nocturnal ones at that.
Therefore, it often happens that during the day the cat plays the lazy game, lies around and barely moves, doesn’t even want to play, but with the arrival of the evening hour he becomes very active.
It is clear that many people are even irritated by such behavior of the animal at night, when you want peace, quiet and a good night's sleep.
Reasons for nocturnal activity
What to do in such a situation? There are proven methods that effectively solve this problem.
But first, we need to understand what exactly is causing the cat’s behavior.
First: during the day, as already noted, his physical activity is practically minimal.
Therefore, the accumulated energy is used up at night.
Second: wrong steps in raising a purring cat. If there are no clear rules set for the latter at home, here you have the nighttime riot.
And in general, without any rules, the cat thinks that he is allowed to do anything, and therefore does all sorts of other naughty things.
The third reason: health problems. This is especially true for older fluffies – they can become disoriented due to illness.
Methods of solving the problem
You can wean your cat off frolicking at night, for example, by completely ignoring its actions.
The animal expects your attention to it, but understands that with such behavior it will not get what it wants.
The second way: actively play with your four-legged friend during the daytime and in the evening. This way he will get tired and will prefer to rest at night.
Provide your pet with a hearty dinner: a fuller cat is less active at night.
Set a daily routine for your cat: a specific time for getting up and going to bed.
This way he can adapt to his owner's schedule.
For example, “good morning” and “good night” can be used as “code words” for the beginning and end of an activity.
