Some cats are active at night; a behavior that is carried over from the ancestor’s predator days in the wild. If you are out of the house during the day, your kitty will surely spend the day sleeping. This is especially true if there is no other pet in the house. When evening comes, your kitty will be full of energy and you need to spend time playing and interacting with him in order to release some steam and tire him out even for just a little bit so he won’t bother you while you are sleeping.

Cats are crepuscular, which means they are most active at twilight—dusk and dawn. In the wild, these are ideal times to hunt for prey.

If your cat keeps on bothering you at night even when you make it a point to play with him, you may need to take steps to correct this behavior. Who wants to wake up suddenly in the middle of the night because his cat is nibbling on his ear or toes? Some pet owners and their neighbors are also kept awake at night when a cat engages in nocturnal vocalization or plays with other cats.
