How to stop a cat from waking you up in the middle of the night: clever methods.

How to rid your pets of this habit.

Cats, as we know, are predators by nature. Therefore, their biological clock is tuned in such a way that the majority of their activity occurs during the night.

However, such behavior can cause significant discomfort to the owners. But there are some tricks that can help to break the habit of your cat waking you up at night.

Review the daily routine

During the day or closer to the evening, allow your pet to release excess energy. You can take them for a walk or engage in active playtime.

Remove the rewards

You make a serious mistake if you give your cat food or interact with them during the night. By doing so, you encourage their desire to wake you up.

Adjust the feeding schedule

Try to reduce the morning and daytime food portions. Instead, shift a portion of their daily intake to the evening.

This way, your pet will go to bed feeling full and won’t wake up at night to hunt for food.

Don’t react

If you are sure that your cat is waking you up at night without any serious reasons, simply ignore them.

But during the day, make an effort to give your pet more attention and interact with them more frequently.
