If your cat’s nocturnal habits are keeping you up awake at night, try increasing his activities to drain excess energy so he will be tired enough and sleep through the night. Engage your pet in activities that involve running, chasing, and jumping. You can use fishing pole toys or a laser pointer.

In addition to increasing physical activity, here are more ways to prevent your kitty from disrupting your sleep:

• Cats like being in warm and cozy places. Place a cat bed in a spare room, and provide heated cat cups, if you can.
• Change your pet cat’s mealtime schedule. Giving the largest meal of the day just before bedtime has been shown to promote lethargy and sleep. Moving breakfast later in the morning is also a good idea. 
• A cat that is hungry will keep on bothering his owner at all times. If you think your cat’s behavior is due to hunger, try investing in an automatic feeder.

Contact your veterinarian Tomball, TX if you have any concerns about your pet’s behavior.
