Cuddling up with your cat in the bed after a long day can be very comforting, but sleeping with your door open is just asking for trouble. Is there any way you can train your cat to sleep all night long so he can stay in the bedroom?

Cat’s aren’t technically nocturnal. Instead, they are crepuscular. That means they are most active at dawn and dusk, but because of their habit of napping, they have also been known to tear through the house at two in the morning. Unfortunately, this is just the way cats are born. There really isn’t any way to get your cat to sleep through the night without depriving him of his beauty rest during the day.

Instead, consider cuddling with your cat while you watch TV, then kick him out of the bedroom when it’s time to sleep. Your veterinarian Wake Forest NC the Falls Village Veterinary Hospital can provide you with more tips.
