We don’t have time to feed ours three times a day. Instead we feedin the morning with some dry food for eating until night, we only feed ours wet food. Will it still work
when I ignore my cat in the middle of the night, my cat pisses on me. :( HELP
Jackson Galaxy- I have to put my cat for adoption I got a alergy fron her 😥
Jackson Galaxy quick question my job has me working sometimes in the morning and sometimes at night how can I make a stable schedule
Jackson Galaxy so its normal for them to wake up at 6 we feed her like 530 pm and at freaking 6 something can the morning feeding be changed if I ignore her at that time?
Watching this while my cat's meowing at 4am
Yiseth Mendoza me too but At 5 AM
This is exactly me right now
MisoAarts oof
Heyyy nice to know I'm not alone!
Ina Forsman true
"You can change your cat's circadian rhythm"
I can't even fix my own circadian rhythm
Well that’s you. Unless you try you’d be surprised.
This is so true 🤣🤣🤣
Under-rated comment!
So much truth
Same here, then again: Even with that problem I wouldn't allow a pet to basically dominate me - yes, that is exactly what you do if you change your schedule to fit your pet! Damned, it's a pet you are the human in that relationship! If nothing else works? Well, close bedroom-door (with the cat outside!)!
Too many people don't realize cats can be trained. I've had cats all my life, they are definitely trainable, and yes, they ARE toddlers!
Nope. Doesn't work for my cat . Not all cats can be trained -_-
@@LittleLottieLorah all cats can be trained you have to dedicate time

I don't have a cat, but just in case, a cat shows up at my house, I'll be ready.
hahasimp A homeless injured starving cat did show up at my house.
Happened to me not once but twice six months apart 😂
You don't choose a cat, a cat chooses you.
This is an update. A cat actually showed up to my house and has been living for 2 weeks. I'm ready.
This is an update to the update, my cat now meows in the middle of the night, this video has served me well
Never knew I had the capacity to want to strangle something with my bare hands until I barely slept for 3 days. Thank god I fixed this issue.
@Khizott_MaeMae 😂 turns out I didn’t fix it. I had just moved so he was super anxious and crying all night. NOW he wines and cries to go outside constantly or for food. He also wakes me up multiple times in the middle of the night. I’m back to square one so we are going to try the tips from this video 😂
I used to just not let my cat sleep during the afternoon, if you have the time to do that, then around 20PM I would let her sleep. That honestly fixed the problem.
omg you are telling me!!!!! >< how did you fix it?!
Lol that’s how I feel too
Lol I feel the same
I don't know why I'm watching this. I don't even have a cat.
Because deep down inside, you want one.
Adopt a kitty, maybe? Save a life and have a wonderful furry friend who will love you unconditionally. It is a responsibility, to be sure, but there is a lot of love and joy to be gained from having a cat (or other animal compnaion for that matter!)
The Mythical Corner! !!!! Well, you did say you wanted one :-)
Ah yes, must keep peace in the family. Once you;ve your own flat, you can get one then, eh? Oh and be careful adopting mixed sexes that you get them fixed, (spayed for the female and neutered for the boy) or you will have babies!
Letting your animals breed contributes to the overpopulation problem. There are too many animals in shelters and being euthanized as it is. Also, you cannot count on being able to "give away" kittens to friends and relatives. Better to get them fixed and if friends and family want an animal, they can get one at the shelter.
I must have the most polite cat ever. She patiently waits for my usual wake up time. If I sleep in, she'll start walking all over me, purring loudly. It still amazes me how she's so careful not to step on my trachea while she's pacing back and forth across my neck.
@@faeliela7765 🤣🤣🤣🤣sorry to hear that!
This is what my kitten does , this is why I’m watching this 😩😂 wakes me up 5am on top of me purring
My kitty curls up with me until I rise. As soon as I get up. It’s food time and window time. ( we open our solid door and let her stare out the storm door window.
If I oversleep, my cat slaps me (in the face) until I wake up.
@@Ohimeshinso uh oh! My old cat used to pull my hair with her teeth if I overslept. Seems like alot of cats try to wake their owners one way or another- I'd love to see it!
I can say that absolutely ignoring them every single night after saying "Bedtime!" and feeding them on a reasonable schedule, absolutely works. I've trained several kittens this way, and it ALWAYS works.
And trust me, it's hard to ignore a 22-pound maine coon slamming into you at 3 am. But they learn. They're smart animals.
what if they head butt you and bite your hair and lick your hair? We now close the bedroom door so they can't attach our heads but then about 15 minutes before we wake up for the day they are clawing the carpet near our door to the point our carpet is getting ruined. Would love to just keep the door open but they attach our heads. lol
@@LifewithKrystle To me that sounds like they need more play before you head to bed. Keeping them from being destructive and harmful is all about managing their energy levels, and that's done 90% through play. Hope this helps!
Hard to ignore when it meows nonstop in middle of night. I live in a small studio and I hear every meow from the bathroom w the door closed
Because of my work schedule my cats know to wake me around 5:30 AM. Unfortunately they don't know about holidays :(
Shane Kent that’s so pure
Ugh same! I used to have a cat named Luther who knew I got up around 5:45 to 6 for high school. This means he’d wake me up just early enough that I wanted to kill him and just late enough that it wasn’t practical to go back to sleep. Being a stupid teenager who went to bed too late I hated it. Now that I’m out of college though I’ve learned to appreciate it. I miss him. He died in 2017. His sister Martina has this habit of coming in for pets right as I’m about to get up. Like this morning when I woke up to run. But she knows roughly when I go to bed because she comes in and lies by my pillows. Then yells at me when I move her to turn down the covers.
TeamUSASportsFan The sabbath is on Saturday though.
Same everyday at 7am weekend or late days too 😂
Same here! They get up with me in the morning but they do it on weekends and holidays too!
Yeah, I totally suck at the ignoring part. That sweet little mewl just tugs at my heartstrings. I can't help it!
same.
Valuable!
my kitten doesnt follow me
Cats from hell
same here u_u
Ignoring is not easy to do. Especially when you have a husband and 2 teenagers! But I begged them....please don't acknowledge him. Ignore him. And BINGO! You were right! The first week was terribly hard! Tiger would meow two inches from my face .. loud! But I ignored. We ignored! It took a full two weeks....but it worked!!!! Thank you! 💕💕
Did you do all the steps or just ignore?
I can't ignore mine! She likes to jump on the furniture and I'm afraid that she'll knock something over!
@@RandoLePerson Okay f you and your mindset, dude. Have you ever had to clean up a broken lava lamp? Didn't think so.
I know this was from seven years ago but I just adopted a kitten and literally the day I started using this method my kitten slept all through the night or played with the toys quietly!
Your so lucky
Thank you, Jackson! We're finally catching some shut eye!
Jackson is awesome. Cat whisperer!

My kitten likes to wake me up at random hours of the night to attack my face with kisses 🤦🏽♀️ It’s cute and all, just not the right time lol
Mine likes to attack my face with her claws 😢
It's a kitten so it's normal
victoria s xD
@@bethan2850 mine too!!!! 😭😭😭😭
cant say that i blame your cat
I do none of these tips and my cat sleeps in my bed all night with me. Dang i got lucky with my cat.
My cat Ninja used to be good like that too. It wasn't until I stopped free feeding him that he started to wake me up.
Some cats are just good snugglers. Some like to love bite you and pounce on you while you sleep.
My gray tabby Monty was like that, sadly he passed away in 2012 from cancer after almost twelve years of giving me joy. I was heartbroken. My black cat Ares is nine years old now and he's fat. I tried to put him on a diet and he would yowl constantly, driving everyone crazy. I ended up just changing to a different brand of food that has more protein and less filler. Ignoring a loudly yowling cat is easier said than done when you have family members who get grouchy from lack of sleep and being barely able to function at work and school for lack of a good night's rest. Ares is back to sleeping through the night (most of the time anyways). At least when he has his crazy time in the middle of the night he only wakes me up and not the entire household.
Same dude. It's so cute. I got a new kitten recently so I've been rewatching vids so i can refresh my memory since it's been so long since i had a kitten.
I'm so jealous of you!!!!

How to stop a cat from interrupting your sleep: Take initiative and interrupt their sleep first during the day.
TypetwoAbsolute LOL😂😂
X-D
They dont understand that kind of stuff, like people who rub noses when their pets pee or poo, cat has no idea he did anything wrong hes trying to tell you something, usually clean my box.
Shut your bedroom door. Problem solved
there's a video on here somewhere of a guy that scares the heck out of his sleeping cat
When my cat was giving me trouble at night, I moved her tall cat tree into my room. It has a bed space about 6 ft up. I just pick her up in as neutral a way possible and put her at the top. Every. Single. Time. Eventually she got tired of jumping down and just curled up and went to sleep. Then she realized when human sleeps I sleep up here out of the way. It worked.
So cat's are just basically toddlers.
Mike Benko smart and evil toddlers.
Feels like
Or toddlers are basically animals.
all toddlers are animals, not all animals are toddlers, cats are.
Not all cats are toddlers, some cats respect personal space, like my cat. She doesn’t lay on anyone’s face, what so ever.
Three days! Three days was all it took. Now, my cat is amazing, but I thought it would take at least a week to get her to stop hunting my legs at 3am. Thank you for these great videos!
I'm sorry to bother but at what time would you feed it
This is my cat's schedule on an average day:
6:30-7am: Human gets up and showers
7-7:30am: Human gives pets, has breakfast, then feeds Cat a packet of delicious wet food
7:45am-11:30am: Cat sleeps
11:30am - 1pm: stares out window/uses litter box/scratching post/inspects territory/drinks water
1pm: Fed cup of dry food
1:15pm - 1:25pm: grooming
1:25pm - 3pm: nap
3pm - 4pm: more territory inspection/scratching post use/eat any remaining food/drinks water
4pm-4:15pm: mini playtime
4:15pm - 4:30pm: grooming
4:30pm - 6pm: nap
6pm - 7pm: more window staring/scratching post/litter box/territory inspection/drinks water
7pm - 8pm: Human pets and brushes Cat (Cat purrs happily)
8pm - 8:30pm: Big playtime (Cat is panting by end)
8:30pm - 8:45pm: Cat catches breath
8:45pm - 9pm: Second wind of playtime
9pm: fed packet of wet food
9:15pm - 9:30pm: grooming
9:30pm - 10pm: sits next to Human in a loaf, head resting on Human's leg
10pm: Human goes to bed, Cat curls up at end of bed
10pm - 6:30am: ?? Possible sleep/wander round house (Human is sleeping, doesn't know what Cat does, but Cat is quiet during these hours)
This is actually really helpful!! I'm getting my first kitty and was wondering what a good schedule would look like. Thanks you!!
@@aei3t121 aei3 t Nice to hear that my comment was helpful, but I should mention that my cat is almost 9 years old, we didn't get her into her current routine until she was about a year and a half.
The routines are similar, but the main difference is feeding. When she was a kitten, she needed to be fed more often but with smaller portions (2 packets of wet food a day: half a packet at 7am, half at 2pm, and full packet about half an hour before you go to bed with no accompanying dry food during the day). 15 minute plays before the smaller meals, and 30-45 minute play before the bigger nighttime feed so they'll sleep through the night.
Also; a little advice from a seasoned cat parent - depending on the cat, it could take anywhere between a few days to about a fortnight for them to understand their routine. Don't be tempted to give into the demanding meows for more food, they'll try and push their limits to see what they can get away with, and if you give in, it's a slippery slope to cat obesity & diabetes. You need to be firm, they might not like it at first, but if you love your little fluffball, you shouldn't budge. And they'll eventually learn that begging gets them no where lol
I recommend watching My Cat From Hell for the definite no-no's of cat parenting.
And if in doubt, Google is your friend :) Have fun and good luck!
@@CommonInternetLurker you have been so helpful!! Thank you again! I have been watching a ton of his video on cat care and behavior. I'm so excited for out little kitty to be ready to come live with us. He needs to gain a little more weight before he can come but hopefully the end of next week!!!
Thank you!!
Corville the Space Cat: That's a great schedule. I am definitely going to try this, my cat has been free fed, since she was pregnant and nursing her babies. Babies got to go to their new homes in May, Sandy (Dan Lee's wife)
I tell my cat, Primrose, "go make some bread". She then starts kneading on the pillow next to my head. Her Primcess pillow...
Ooo is that name from the Hunger Games? I love that book!
omg thats my cats name
My cats don't keep me up. In fact, they enjoy sleeping with me. They're good boys c:
Honey, you got a big storm coming, *click*
What I mean is yes my cat did that too but then she stopped wanting to sleep with me. After a week or so at my door is this absolutely deafeningly annoying NON STOP *meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow*
And so on and so on. And I’m not allowed to let her in my room cuz she ruined my bed by using it as a scratching post. And I have to spray her with water then she goes away... AND THEN THE ASSHOLE COMES BACK and this happens at 4 IN THE GOD DAMN MORNING
@@eliseamoose1841 you should watch more of jacksons vids...lots of time spraying and scolding only make things worse the vids on this channel have really helped re educate me on more modern cat training techniques.
Good job
lucky you, when I close my door at night I used to think that my cat would take that as a sign that I was going to go to sleep but NOOOO he scratches at my door and slides his paws under my door to keep me up
Should I change my cat's feeding habit if all is working fine? She's a rescue and she loves sleeping with me. She actually waits for me at the bottom of the stairs every night at the same time with "rolling eyes" of "ad you coming to bed or what?" lol
She brought her toy meowing only 3 times in 2 yrs...so I say we're doing pretty good 🙏😉
DON'T GIVE UP! It took my rescue about a year before he let us sleep. After being abandoned by his former family and left on the streets, he had issues. Regular meal times, play, ignore, patience and lots of love. Believe me, it's worth it in the end. Thanks Jackson for all your help, we couldn't have done it without you!
you're a saint, I would have found a new home for them after 2 months...
Thank you I needed this! Got a cat from the shelter a few days ago and I’m overwhelmed. This definitely eased it
Good to know. I actually feed my cats twice a day. Once at 7am and again at 7pm. I have 3 cats. Only 1 out of the 3 is a problem at night. And it's funny you say ignore them, cuz I already have been by putting in my head phones and listening to relaxing rain or something to help me pass out again and not have to hear the cat and the ignoring has actually worked. He sometimes wakes at night to meow at nothing here and there but it'll only last for about 10 or 15 straight minutes. Then he goes to sleep. Cats are hilarious animals with so much personality it's just very amusing and entertaining to be a cat owner.
I was just talking with my husband about this.
I had a very satisfying time saying i told you so about ignoring :)
Karen van Staalduine literally same boat 😂😂😂 high five haha 👏🏼
Yah but it might not work. My cat is still bawling none stop and I've ignored him for months and no change
@@LittleLottieLorah Give attention and reward when he is being quiet and or not paying attention to you, laying down somewhere, not bothering you.
Your cat must have times it unlatches. Its not all ignore ignore, then theres no way they can tell whats acceptable in your eyes.
Wish mine would listen to me about ignoring 🥲
I used the super nanny technique that is used on human kids. When I was in bed and my cat was up being a pain I would pick him up, put him on his bed and say "bedtime" I kept doing that several times and after the third time I didn't say anything to him, just put him back on his bed. My cat sleeps through the night now. Some mornings he wakes up too early and I tell him "its too early go back to bed" and he does
philippa hyndman Cute
philippa hyndman I believe you 100%...People need to learn to speak to their cats on a regular basis...They are exactly like toddlers...If you've babysat toddlers or worked with children, you can manage a cat...On my day off, we all sleep in...My 3 cats never bother me on my day off because, when I get back from work, I tell them, tomorrow is "cuddle-day" we shall sleep all day and watch horror movies....I guess saying that every day before my day off for years has worked...I communicate with my cats a lot; people think it's crazy but I speak English and bits of my native African language to them and they understand me perfectly.
pretty much the same sort of technique I used on a small dog I used to own. it was pretty much the only command the little monster actually learned properly was, "go to bed."
I've been using the same intonation and wording everytime my cat asks for food before mealtime, and he seems to understand me now.
@@MSEDzirasa2015 my not-a-kitten was INCREIDBLY contact-skittish (he's a rescue). i spent two months just babbling at him before he felt comfortable enough for even brief touches. (totally worth it, cuddliest bb i've ever had 2.5-ish years later. his mama has her cuddly moments but she's a calico so i mostly let her set the terms of physical affection.)
I have to give credit where it’s due, I rescued a kitten two weeks ago (never had a cat before) and used free feeding as a way to make sure he got his meals cause he wasn’t eating as much (he’s good now though).
Lately my kitten has been going crazy at night to the point where I only get 3 hours of sleep.
I tried this out for ONE DAY….
And it worked.
You definitely earned this sub!
"you ignore them completely" my cat would never deal with that shit if I ignore him in the middle of the night he knocks everything over, screams, and scratches my face off, the kid just wants to know that I'm alive.
my cat too. can't simply ignore her completely no matter how tired I am, she hurt has her way to get me out of my bed.
use the pet mounted sensor to know your cat language. what he or she feels and his or her emotions. it' has no side effect and you will be stress free and happier with your cat. contact the company at wokson-limited@live.com
+my2amdoodles close the door , that is to say if you have one...
he would scream his head off. There have been nights where I've had to sleep in my sister's room bc a guest slept in my room, and I wanted the door closed to prevent him from peeing on anything, but he would not stop crying and it kept everyone awake.
+my2amdoodles Maybe keep him out of the bedroom/catify your appartment and remove fragile objects that could be victims of "cat on a tantrum"? :)
It's a hard task though.
i guess, since we all know this is an issue that takes time, it's best to try the new cat ethics out when you don't have guests over. Maybe your cat has a combined issue with something else, that's causing it to be so "problematic"? >.
This night I will ignore them. For sure! *heartmelting meow* okay, tomorrow...
I found a way to get my cats to let me sleep even though I can't ignore them when they unlock my heart with the sweetest meows (it only works if they wake you up because they're hungry). Before I go to bed I play with my cats a lot, then feed their wet food and then they sleep. After this I hide dry food pieces everywhere in the house and go to beed. So when they wake up after four hours due to hunger, they go and search the food (for them it's like looking for prey and hunting, kill and eat) so when they're done, they sleep until I'm wake.
That's a great idea, really good tips. I'm going to try that out. Thanks!
That's brilliant
This worked in one week, THANK YOU Jackson!!!!!
Sonia Dekker we are going on his prescribed schedule immediately and hope it works in less than a week!!!
Just been through night 2. She started waking me up meowing and scratching from 3am to 7… rewatching this to gain some hope in the process while I get ready to work with basically no sleep
Sometimes I think my cat is horrible, then I watch videos like this and realise... she is the best cat in the world.😭😭 I love her so much, she has never woken me up at 3AM and I'm beyond grateful 😭😭🤧
When my alarm goes off in the morning my little guy climbs up my body and starts to gently lick my nose..
Its his adorable me of saying
"Bitch, i need breakfast" haha
Hannah Sheeran lol awwwwwwwwwww
xD
Hey +Hannah Sheeran why not get rid of the little guy and get yourself a cat?! ; -)
lol Yea, mine do that too.
Yeah. My cat hears the alarm, and after I roll over from shutting it off he sits on me and starts licking my face, cuddling and nudging on me to get up. It Is good that he does this, because the times that I fall back to sleep he wakes me up with his love and I am not late. Lol
I just adopted my first cat, and I have to say that your videos make me feel so prepared and ready to raise my new little kitty. I'm starting her off on a feeding schedule from day 1 so I can get her in a routine early. Thank you for making these! You're not only helping current cats from hell but helping us to prevent raising one in the first place! I feel so knowledgeable about cats after seeing your videos. Thank you!
Hello Legally how’s the weather over there
Watching this because my cat wakes me up 1-2 hours before my alarm is supposed to go off, she's trying to get food earlier. I can't close the door because she truly never stops scratching it. This morning she spent two hours alternating between messing with stuff in my bedroom and rubbing her face against my mouth. My foster cat sleeps on my legs while my own cat terrorises me lol
It's 5 a.m. and I'm wide awake because of my 4 month old kitten! Like he's a cool little dude but man is he hard to deal with! glad I found this video! it was very informative.
mzHipHop I currently have a 3 month old kitten. Any tips on what I could do in general? Advice?
I jus adopted a 4 month old kitten - our first night tonite hope it goes well
@@iLastStar How is it?
4 months? ... Could be starting to be in heat
Fucking same except hes 3 months old and its 3 am
I'm a really (and i mean really) heavy sleeper, so my cat haven't waked me during nights... but my husband complaints that the cat actually has screamed while walking on my body, and walking around me on the bed (we have a siamese, and he haves A LOT to talk about with the loudest voice, hahah) sleeped on my face, and annoying the hell out of my husband... i have slept just well... and now i also know why i have cat hair in my mouth almost every time i wake up...
Lol that's kind of funny. I miss my Siamese. He passed away in January.
I'm so sorry for you :(
*hugs tight*
Kahvikettu HAHA, hilarious!
Kahvikettu Oh god. Same thing. I've had my cat for 16 years and she never woke me up. Now my husband keeps complaining of her in the morning, she keeps him from sleeping.
Welll...ignore her, buddy!
I'm single!
Wow, I must’ve hit the jackpot when we found ours in ditch, that lonely little kitten crying for her mom and found my daughter instead. She doesn’t get into any of my things. Yeah, I love her for that and I’m gonna keep her.
cherish her ! I've only had super chill cats before but the one I adopted a week ago does not seem to understand what 'sleeping time for humans' is, I am hoping that I'll be able to train her to stop. I miss my previous kitties...
My cat has her own room. Her safe place with a bathroom for her litter box When we go to bed I put her in her room ,give her a treat and close the door. She has her toys , beds and a place to climb. And a big window. She will start meowing when the sun comes up and we let her out for breakfast and loves. When my son had her at his place she would not let him sleep and he worked nights. I adapted her and this works out fine for us. I know everyone doesn't have a house big enough for their cat to have their own bedroom but her having her own space helped with her sleeping all night. Hope this helps
I use an alarm on my phone with a sound that I only use for my cat's feeding times. He knows he won't get breakfast until that alarm goes off at 8am. Every time I try to stop using that particular alarm, he starts waking me up earlier and earlier until it is the crack of dawn (currently 5:15 am). Then I have to go back to using the alarm and after a couple of days, he lets me sleep until my own personal alarm goes off.
My previous cat was able to tell time and didn't need an alarm.
Hey, whats your feeding schedule?
How I "cured" my cat: I would close my door at bedtime, but she'd call, scratch, reach her paw out and try to squeeze under the door. One night I threw a pair of balled-up socks at the door and said "No!" That startled her; she stopped waking me after 2 nights of sock throwing. That was 6 yrs ago. I now have a 8 mo old cat who sleeps with me bc she is so quiet, I literally don't even know she's there. The older one grooms all night and drives me crazy. They are all unique and awesome! 😻
Jane S my cat starts texting and emailing.
My cat watched this video with me and she was like "SERIOUSLY"
Jamal Idrees 😂😂😂😂😂
I tried ignoring my cat for months. His favorite wake me up game is attacking my legs, which he sees as a lump under the blanket. He was drawing blood constantly (even when I would clip his claws), so holding still wasn’t an option no matter how hard I tried! I finally had an idea and got a weighted blanket that’s thick enough that he cannot get his claws through. Now I can ignore him!
Did it work??
@@DeadWaitsyes
When my cat comes I cover all my body and head under blankets and stand still because she’s a scratcher but I don’t know if she sees it as playing or ignoring 😢
i started doing this and by the second night my kitten was sleeping through the night just fine! amazing technique. thank you so much
Hello Juliana how’s the weather over there
My solution: they can free roam anywhere BUT my room until morning
Same but I think I have to stop that bc mine is only 11 week old :/
Gacha Dogo mine can only be in my room and my dads room rn she’s a tiny kitten and my dog has bad fleas (on flea treatment) she got from a stray cat so she can’t go out there rn😯
Same here.
Gacha Dogo they'd be meowing and crying outside my door so i couldn't do that
also he always comes to me when hes sleepy
my cat has to stay in my room
💀
I feed my cat 2 times morning and night. One is a 11 months the other is 5 and they seem fine.
Who's watching this while their cat is meowing like crazy
My cat’s actually sleeping rn but he attacked me in my sleep last night soooo
oh woww that's crazy
me
My kitten is fast asleep while using my hand as a reddy.
Me broh
My cat is the perfect sleeping companion. At Nine oclock where is she??? in bed waiting to go to bed and she sleeps on my side all night. Maybe sometimes in the morning she gets up to do her thing and has to talk about it but she comes right back to bed and I say Ruby we are still sleeping and she is all for that!!!
Can you do a video on how to train your cat to walk on a harness outside?
***** the eternal meow. always going. never stopping. meow meow meow. always talking. lol
HerBeauty`sInsideOut I'm jealous. My cat has the first part of that routine down... she'll usually come to bed with me and sleep at the foot of the bed for a few hours. She just likes to wake up at 4am every morning and make sure I'm awake too lol.
My. Cat walks on a harness. He loves it because he knows it means "outside". And he ALWAYS wants to go outside. Jus keep fitting him with it near the door and take him out. Let him sniff. Practice guiding him. When you get inside, you can give them a treat while you take the harness off.
RiverGirl ...that is a damn good idea! i think i might try that with mine.
Thinking about it is so cuuuutee!
I've never had a kitten til just recently my boss found this adorable kitten crying on her doorstep at like 2-3am. She wasn't gnna keep her cus she has a cat, a dog and just got a puppy right before she found her. all my cats were older when I got them. I honestly didn't know how needy kittens could be til now, the 1st few days I could barely get any sleep. but by about my 5th day of having her she started figuring out my mom's and my schedules. Shes always by my mom all day til I get home from work, then when I get home she's all over me. I think she's seriously the best cat ever, and she always wakes me up if I press the snooze button too many times which is great cus she's my 2nd alarm clock lol. My vet says he believes she is a marble bengal, she's got the most beautiful patterns on her. I seriously couldn't have asked for a better cat, she is just the sweetest thing ever but very vocal. she's made sounds I never even knew a cat could make
mine gets in the wash machine cylinder and sings at the top of her lungs til i wake up
Haha, what are you doing sleeping in the washing machine?
@@hamishthecat4370 lol?
Keep the freakin washing machine door closed! Might help.
That’s so funny 😂
This is so true. Ignore them. They'll get use to it.
I just sleep during the day and stay up all night. That works too. Early retirement ftw.
***** I usually get up at 9-10 pm and go to bed around 1-2 pm. That still leaves plenty of daylight and enough time for things like shopping.
***** Redacted because it's nunya. Just do me a favor and think before you post next time. People don't get an early disability retirement because they stubbed their toe.
My cat sleeps at night and he never wakes me up at 3am but sometimes i hear him he goes to the kitchen and eating food a little bit and than goes to his bed and sleep again
or he comes to my bed and sleeping with me
I effing love this guy. He's absolutely right, spot on. He knows cats. Worked for me in 10 days. Boom! Love it!
What do I do if I ignore my cat but two hours later she starts meowing again? Like I’m tired of this
You ignore them every time until they stop
Just keep ignoring. Regardless of how long it takes. I know the feeling of being tired of it. It could take a few weeks but your cat will stop eventually. Just make sure your cat gets 0 reaction from you or anyone else.
Have you found a way to make it stop?!
I can't ignore her, she doesn't meow, she just jumps on the bed and starts trying to bite any part of me she can find to get me to play. I spent a good part of the night putting her in the flood until she gets tired and falls asleep on top of me
@@nessyness5447 same!!!
I found a GREAT way to get through that "ignore them" period is to put in ear plugs. Yes that won't stop them from walking on you in bed etc but it WILL block out all the extra noise and help you keep sleeping.
Did this method cause the cat to stop after a while since you were ignoring it for so long? I've started this method, but I need hope that I don't need to sleep with earplugs forever
how am i supposed to ignore my cat when he screams so loud all night he doesn’t only wake up me but my neighbors too
It is a process and you have to force them into extinction. Consistency is key. Ignore nonstop. The behavior, without a response, will become extinct.
Slap him
@@karenkothari1631 No. That's a response. Positive or negative, cats don't care. When they see that their behavior is getting a response out of you, and gaining them attention, the behavior will continue. It is basic animal psychology.
@@karenkothari1631 Operant conditioning. Cats generally don't care about punishment, because in their eyes attention is attention. They want your attention. Meowing got the attention, whether it be slapping or yelling, petting or food, meowing won.
Ignore the behavior until the behavior becomes extinct, and it will definitely become extinct. That is how their brains process information.
@Sara Allison does that mean get rid of u when u decide 2 talk?.
I used to have 2 foster kittens. They flew around when I tried to sleep. I just grabbed them both into my sleeping bag and 3 of us just slept til next morning.
Hello Lee how’s the weather over there
I like the meal feeding, but we have been ignoring our kitty at 3am, but now he's going to our 4 year old sons room and licking him to wake him up so our son will then come wake us up. Smart kitty.
Hello Courtney how’s the weather over there
It's hard to ignore my kitty when I'm trying to sleep when she is biting me. That's my biggest issue with her. It's not like she is playing on the ground noisy, she is jumping all over me, pulling my hair, and biting me wanting to play. It's hard to ignore that.
Same, i spend a lot of time putting her down on the floor until she calms down and sleeps
Mine claws under the door for me to open it and meows terribly, but it cold and the heat from my room will escape. Funny thing is, my cat doesn't want out, he just want the door open in case he feels like roaming.
well before bed play with her for 30 minutes max and give her some wet food make sure shes in a warm comfy place or she’s sleeping next to you and hopefully shes relaxed and falls asleep
Has your kitten stopped biting?
My cat does the same.
4:29
That image of the cat with the party hat and the noise maker is a little too close to home for me XD
When our cats see us move into our bedroom and start getting ready for bed, they know it's time for their bedtime routine too. They jump on the kitty tree until we're settled in (sometimes playing and getting that last bit of energy out) and then our black cat settles in beside my head and our orange cat settles in next to our legs. They sleep there pretty much all night.
Thanks for the tips, Jackson. I hope this will work with an over-excited and playful kitten my friends and I rescued. He was in isolation being treated for trichophyton for weeks and now that it's safe for him to be around us, he's constantly in play mode, ripping our hands and blankets to shreds and purring to kingdom come.
I found out the hard way about thr ignoring part. And from this i've learned that drive for (at least) my cat is attention. Either if want him to stop or start doing something
We keep our room doors shut while we're sleeping. He doesn't bother my Son but he comes to my door and meows and bumps the door to wake me up.. I have to wait in here till he stops and then I open the door and go out to see that he hasn't eaten the dog.
Σ（ﾟдﾟlll）OMG do you have a tiger and call him a cat?
+Mari Valle she probably has a baby tiger disguised as a cat.....lol
It sounds a lot like having a child.
my cat is my child. she is just as demanding as a toddler, too.
We call ours "the toddler".
Exactly
Nah they're not that bad. Kids have to be watched constantly so they don't get hurt. My cat does his own thing most of the time.
depending on the cat, it can be harder than a child... I have an angel of a child, and a really difficult cat. I always suspected he was harder than a child,.... then I had one and yes, he is. So, it depends from child to child and cat to cat.
This is sooooo helpful, I thought about giving her away this morning🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣(not really). She woke up at 3am and I had to be to work at 6am. I was sooo upset...I love Kaddie.. But jeez....
See I don't understand this I guess some cats who like that but my two girls free feed the only problem I have is my older of the two we'll sing the song of her people throughout the night only to bring me stuffed animals she will carry them right up to me and drop them in my lap and then nudge me so I see them and then lay down and go to sleep on me I would love to hear his explanation of this Behavior
❤
Lock.them.up. No, it's not cruel. When mine become pests, I put them in a room across the house. It's comfortable and has windows and furniture. Litter pans, water, toys. Click goes the door. After waking from a good night's sleep, I release them. They are fine. Sometimes they choose to continue to stretch out and sleep in "THE ROOM", as we call it. Anyway, I am sure your method is better, but this works for us.
I simply NEVER feed my cat when I wake up. I put my cat's food out 1 time a day, in the evening, when I get back from work.
If in the morning everything is gone, I'll add a little bit but after my own breakfast, usually an hour after getting up, so he doesn't associate my getting out of bed with him getting food.
+Linda Liriel That's smart!
My cats have slept when I sleep since they were kittens. I'm not really sure what the heck I did to make this happen, though....Prancer either sleeps in a shoe box by the nightstand or by my shoulder and Rafiki sleeps at the foot of the bed. I'm not sure if they stay in those spots all night (probably not, knowing cats), but when I wake up they are either still in those spots or they've come back to those spots. I say, "Let's go to bed!" and they follow me to the bedroom. When I wake up I say, "Time to wake up!" and they follow me to the kitchen.
I have the exact same experience with my 2 cats :)
what type of cats r they?
Your cats are more obedient than children lol. Hope I can have a similar experience with mine.
***** I wish my cat still slept next to me. We moved cross country, after he'd turned a year old. Now he prefers to sleep on his bed. He comes to wake me up in the morning though.
Honestly I just give my cat a fill of dry in the morning with fresh water before I go to work to munch on during the day, when I come home around 6PM I pet him a bit, play if he's in the mood put him outside in a harness in the backyard for an hour, I give him the wet and fresh water, he usually eats 3/4 of the wet then goes to nap, and then comes back later at night for a snack. Then it's bed time. I just go to bed and he comes an hour later to curl up on my feet.
For me the secret was 1 or 2 hours outside when I come back home. He sneaks up on squirrels and birds, eats some grass, and takes a sunbath, then he comes back in when he's hungry.
was your cat meowing at night in the first place or do you simply have a chill cat ?
@@Rubiecat He was meowing a lot and was acting up, but getting him out of the house for a couple hours solved the problem.
I feel so toxic to my new cat cause I've never had a normal sleep schedule so I don't know how I'm gonna be able to help her like this
you aren't inherently toxic to your new cat just because you have sleep issues, you just might have to get a little more creative if she develops these kinds of problems is all. (some folks have found that their kittehs actually help THEM to get a better sleeping schedule set up, even.)
fwiw, my sleep schedule has always been pretty awful too (i'm bipolar ii and in a COVID hot zone), i free-feed mine, and my not-a-kitten pretty much quit doing this once he WASN"T a kitten any more and his mama never really did. (he routinely sleeps/cuddles with me, she'll do it on days that she thinks i need mama-mama cuddles and i treasure both of them deeply.)
Here am I at past 4 am with a kitty that keeps attacking me. And keeps jumping on my face!
Update. Is kinda hard to ignore them when they want to claw at your face!
If you play with her for half an hour every day 1 hour or so before going to bed , she will be exhausted and will sleep all night long.
Ours is quite active and we did this when she was a kitten and finally she got accustomed to sleep all night long. She loves running after small balls and toys.. I also left some couple of soft toys for her to play on her own and gradually she rested all night.. You have to be patient, especially when they are young!
I think that's just the point where kitty gets locked out of the bedroom overnight
they're typically safe to free roam around a closed house overnight, precautions if they one of the ones that love to claw their way into spaces though
😂😂😂
ioana mogos i would dominate them and let em know u dont like it...! It works...no hitting them or anything but act like how a mom cat would
I always bring toys in the bed, it's always good to keep distractions close to you. It's ideal to have at least 2 toys, so that if one gets thrown over the bed, you have a backup. There's also calming cat formulas, some with melatonin & some without. If you plan on giving some, make sure you give the right dosage for your kitty's weight and only as a last resort when nothing else works.
Thank you Jackson, your advice worked like magic, in the first day my cat didn't wake me up in the night, just in the morning when it was time to play and eat. I didn't sleep for days well and now a simple change modified my cat's behavior completely. Thank you sooo much!!
My cat sleeps in my bed all night, I'm so blessed🥰 I remember when he was a kitten I started closing my bedroom door, turn off the lights & that's it, it took him like 3 nights to understand that it was bed time & there was no more play, he used to lay down his lil head on my hand or my arm or poke my nose with his nose, all before finally surrender & fall asleep🤣
Thank you. I just adopted a senior cat 2 days ago, and she was doing that meowing in the middle of the night. I am going to put your process into play. Thanks, again. I now have a solution. Fortunately, I'm a retired senior, so I don't have to rush off to a job.
Step One.
Ignore them.
That's it. They will do their own thing after they realize they get zero reaction from you.
You sure? I ignored my cat's excessive meowing for 3 hours last night, through a closed door. It USED to work.. now he does spiteful things that he isn't allowed to do if we ignore him. If a cat is determined and stubborn enough, ignoring makes him meow louder and more obnoxiously.
@@patriciahenniger9061 Yeah that's the why the do it. They will meow louder because they want to get a reaction from you. If you keep ignoring them they will learn that they will never get a response from you so they just stop
@@drcola143 ive been trying to ignore her for a whole month and every time she stops, she just continues 30 mins later
What if i ignore him and he starts throwing things away to The floor ? -“
@@patriciahenniger9061 same! My cat is a well disciplined cat and knows her boundaries(around me at least, who knows what she does when I'm asleep or not home) but if she wants attention and I'm not giving it to her at the moment she wants it,she becomes the toddler that has to do everything she knows she is not allowed to do. Thankfully she doesnt bother me at night, I night trained her mostly when she was a kitten, but she knows how to get her way 🤣🤣
I just shut my bedroom door & not let the cat in my bedroom at night, so I sleep well😁Lol.
Lol I tried that, now he slams his toys or body against my door
I did that and mine started ripping up the carpet under the door
I put a duck tape mat sticky side up by the door when my cat scratched at the carpet by the door. She stopped scratching the carpet soon after.
Savage. Lmfao.
@@turtleducklover1312 where can i get a duck tape mat? Mine rips the carpet at the door
My cat is evil but I still love that little...devil.
i love my new kitten but i swear if she jumps climbs on my bed and onto my face one more time at 2am im gonna scream
My cat is only four months old. I was told that she should be free-fed all day. After watching this video, I put less and less in her dry food bowl. Also, I will only fed her wet food in the morning and at night, now. Fortunately, she starts falling asleep when I do, but she wakes up at 3am and meows for hours and hours.
honestly, you made a mistake - if you feed your cat mostly dry food, and give wet food as complementary food, DO NOT give it in the MORNING, cause your cat will always wake you up early in the morning, even at nights.
Now you have two choices: try to give wet food only after lunch or in the evening or buy an automatic cat feeder(you put wet food in it in the evening and set it to open itself automatically in, for example, 3:00 AM or so).
If you plan to feed only wet food, I guess an automatic cat feeder is a must have for you if you ever want to have a good night's sleep. It's really not that expensive too, for example I found one only for 15 bucks, so if you will look for it in ebay, I bet you can find one under 20 bucks. And that money was the best spent money in my whole life, cause after nearly a year of pretty bad sleeping, I was able to sleep all night and morning without any disturbance.
Tony Landers I am a vet surgeon. Cats are not supposed to have dry food it is bad for them. Wet food is more like the nutrition they would get in the wild. Dry food gives diarrhea, infections and so on. Go on a website and research it. I won't want to see your cat get sick.
Regards,
Dr. Mc
Jenna, I give my one cat wet food, he loves it. My other WONT eat it. I take away the dry food....give him wet, nope. Ive went a day he wont do it.
I put down the dry, yummy yummy. What can I do? Ive tried to give him the wet food but he just dont do it.
wet food makes plaque round the teeth. my cat loves dry food and some fresh chicken every night without fail. i love my pus ❤️
@@gracejones4113 dental care like daily brushing is the answer. Dry food does not clean teeth.
EARPLUGS are a WONDERFUL thing while you're COMPLETELY ignoring your cat(s)!! I can personally attest to this. My cat had an AWFUL meowing habit ALL HOURS OF THE NIGHT & it drove me nuts!! After a few sleepless nights I was finally able to sleep like a BABY!! No lie, drool & all. 😂 Then after about a week ½ of earplugs to help me sleep through her incessant meowing she FINALLY stopped!
Did you do any other steps or just earplugs and ignore?
It's SO hard to "ignore" them when you have an unpredictable bladder! I get up to go to the bath room at least 3 times a night! If in lucky then 2! BUT my kitten seems to be getting use to me leaving in the middle of the night.. Still working hard on sleeping threw the night with out her going crazy playing! It is slowly working though!! I think it's harder when you have a little kitten though! They are so active and distracted by everything! I love her so much though!! She's getting good with following rules thanks to Jackson!! And she's only 7 weeks so she's still young!
sweetie, i have had that issue too, and discovered a petting technique that puts my cat right back to sleep. if yours wants to get active when u go potty, wait for him to get back within arms reach, then gently rubbed his face all around his eyes, back of his ears, under his neck. just dont touch the rest of his body and dont do it too long. this relaxes my little guy so much he snuggles up and goes right to sleep. (if i dont do this, he turns into speed demon bully trying to push all my buttons. also works in daytime to slow him down, calm his hyperness.
My kitty Ted is 13 weeks and enjoys his sleep. First night he slept on my pillow, then made a nice comfy bed next to my own bed as he feels secure knowing l around and it's worked out great ,he sleeps all night in a darkened room under the window, so if wakes early he sits by the window. Have to say don't know myself how it's worked out so well... He does the scratch hand things ,but is getting better with more play and feathered toys. Jackson really understands and definitely connects with his cats..🐈❤
Hello Jan how’s the weather over there
My kitten basically has her own bedroom downstairs. She has what food she hasn't finished from her evening meal, water, basic toys, litter tray, bed, her favourite cushion and Mrs Duck (her teddy) She's a happy lady and got into her nighttime routine straight away. If you sneak in to see her at night, she's either having a drink or sleeping... 😊😇🥰
I just got a cat and this helps so much!! Thank you, I hope it works!
I disagree with the anti-free-feeding schtick. In nature, cats would eat many small meals throughout the day, not two big meals they have to gulp down before the food is taken away. A happy medium is feeding breakfast, leaving out some food but not a limitless supply, then refilling the food at dinner time and picking it up entirely at bedtime. This works very well for my cat who never overeats.
Agreed
I guess I semi free feed. I give them so much and I leave it out. It's about half of what they need in a day, they can eat what they want but when it's gone they wait until dinner time, and the the same thing at dinner time. Seems to work fine, but I also don't let my cats in my room when I'm sleeping.
Ignoring them has worked the best for me plus automatic feeding at 1 or 2 am. These two things have allowed me to sleep in as late as 10 am
Apparently I've gotten lucky cause my cat always went to bed when we did. 😂😂😂 Now occasionally he would do the classic running at full speed in the middle of the night. But it wasn't a problem.
Neonravekid Same. Mine snuggles on my bed and sleeps when I do...with an occasional late night escapade. But I did adopt a senior cat so the previous owner probably did all the hard work. Lucky me!
My cat absolutely NEEDS free feed, it's stressful for her if she thinks there's no food available to her.
She is relaxed and calm when she knows she can eat when she wants/needs it.
She doesn't wake me up, because she KNOWS that there is food and that she can come and sleep with me if she WANTS to.
Jo Aldridge This is how I do my cat. It kinda sucks bc sometimes he still has eating issues. But I always portions his meals through the day. I always make sure there is just the bare minimal in the bowl at all times bc he eats every few hours. Sometimes more. So if he has access to more he eats till he pukes yanno? He has eating issues thanks to our old cat used to bully him off of the food they shared. We didn’t know back then that sharing food like that was a bad idea. Bc Momo never liked to let Shadow eat unless someone was there to move momo. Which eventually made Shadow tough up and say EFF YOU MOMO IMMA EAT. But like he still has that mentality over four years later.... it makes me sad bc I did that to my cat without knowing at first. But now I knkw thanks to Jackson Galaxy and sorry my comment is all over the place I am ADD AS HELL n tored.
Agreed.
I mean, do you have a problem with your cat waking you up? Or anny other problem where your cat expecting something during a spesific time rather than all the time might be a good idea?
No? Well then this advice does not apply and you can continue on normally.
Yes? Well then I recommend to follow his advice of doing it gradually and it's hard to see your pet uncomfortable but it tends to be uncomfortable before you get used to a healthier routine. I suspect that your cat will become comfy whit it after a while.
And yea I get it your cat may also be extra paranoid but you have to think "did I really do this gradually" "did I give this a chance" and "did I really not give upp shorty after I saw my cat get uncomfortable" "Is it OK to discipline a human child even if it it makes them unhappy for a while?" Just as I would be surprised if your cat didn't get disturb by the fact that you took his food a way, I would be surprised if he couldn't get used to a new schedule. He just needs to know/learn that the food is coming at a surntan point whether he asks you or not and then he will feel safe about it. 🐈
Hi Jackson Galaxy, I have watched this video multiple times and my cat still won't let me sleep! To be honest ignoring gets hard when she is so stubborn in waking me up to the point of biting, sitting on my head, and pushing my body with her head. It has gotten to the point I have to close her out of the room, however, I feel wrong about that because I think it stems from some boredom and weird form of separation anxiety. I definitely encourage playtime before bed and in the process you mentioned, but 3:00 am hits and she is terrorizing me (with love) and refuses to let me sleep. I got her in May of this year and love her to pieces, but she had a rough beginning in life so I have had to address behaviors overtime, but in general she is so loving and always there for me. Your videos have been a huge help and encouragement in this process. Thank you!
This sounds a lot like my kitten right now, did you ever get her to stop?
@@letyceleste2805 not completely, but when I moved in with my now husband who also had a cat it got better. Also even before then, she really did well when I established more of a bedtime routine with her. Now she settles at the bottom of the bed every night (with her stolen stuffed animals) and stays there unless I get up at night. She will greet me and then go back to the foot of the bed. Only exception now is if I go away for a few days, but I prep for that lack of sleep then.
Watched this in preparation of getting my new cat a few years back. He's still on his meal schedule that was started from day 1, and NEVER does he wake me up. I have him trained to eat at a dinner bell sound, which decreases begging. Also , my morning alarm is his breakfast alarm, so if I change that to, say, 9am instead of the normal 7:45, I get ZIP from him! He's a good boy, but it's also DEFINITELY a result from this video!! Thanks for helping me give my cat structure and assurance in his day-to-day life
I feed my cat when I wake up and before I go to sleep. I give him HALF a cup and he is perfectly fine. When he is done eating he either A). Goes to his bed which is in my room or B). He "snuggles" with me then he goes to sleep in his bed. He is a AWESOME Cat and about 2-3 weeks he has those moments were he is running around the house at night and sooner or later he comes in my room and it's a perfect night. #COOLCAT
When my cat started waking me up in the early morning, earplugs saved my life in the ignoring completely department!! 😂
Jessica Childers girlfriend I just did that last night! Put earplugs in my ear, rolled over and knocked out. Tonight I’ll go to sleep with them on. Won’t hear a thing!
My only question is then how do you hear your alarm for work??
I kept my phone close enough to my head that I also felt the vibrations. Never had a problem with the alarm. I would imagine alarms are more noise/consistent than cat meows so they work through earplugs better 👍🏻
Shaky‘s Channel I’m so glad!!!! Haha yeah I love cats but also SLEEEEEEEP
@@sadexcuse4amango Imao
This makes me feel so grateful that my cat just started going to bed and getting up with us on his own
Hello Ashley how’s the weather over there
🙏🏼
I tried this the past 2 nights. It worked the first night. Not last night. I played with him and fed him before I went to bed both nights. He didn't even bother me 2 nights ago, so no ignoring necessary. Last night it was kind of hard to ignore him when he tries to bite me (not hard) but it wakes me up. My cat is overall is a really good boy except when I sleep. He meows me to death and tries to bite me. It's like he's a totally different cat at night lol. I did go to bed earlier last night than the night before (only 45 min earlier). I was tired. I couldn't stay awake, ugh. It was always around 5am that he'd bother me. Lately it is around 3:30 to 4am. That is why I had to check out this video 2 days ago. It makes me tired everyday with him waking me up. Maybe cuz since I've had him, I'd give him treats to leave me alone. Idk if it's too late to train him to let me sleep. We have him 8 months now and he just turned 1 on Thanksgiving. I'd even tell my bf to give him treats if he's up and I'm awake in bed from the cat and my Weasley (my cat) knows I am telling my bf to give him snacks. I'll say "babe" and Weasley goes running to the closet where his food is lol. My smart boy
Sounds like the opposite of the advice ay
Seems like our cats are twins in behaviour. Mine has a Dr jackyll and Mr hide personality and at night just wants to play but he does that in a very dangerous (for us) manner. I haven't used him to treats whenever he does that but really no difference at all because the bottom line is I can't sleep and I can't ignore him. I'm really quite desperate
@@monicaandresini8899 yes, he's so different at night. I got automatic feeders recently, a dry and a wet and he's still bothering me these past few nights. Very weird, last week he didn't bother me on the weekdays but he did Sat and Sun night which is usually the opposite cuz the weekends I'm up with him later. It is hard to ignore when they walk on us and meow. It makes us not sleep. I'm so tired right now cuz he kept me up all night again. I am trying to manifest it using the Law of Attraction since I am a LOA coach. I thought I did last week but then he bothered me again. Maybe the universe us testing my reaction to him. Our bedroom doesn't have a door. It was dining room covered into a bedroom. We like having no door but if we has one, he'd meow outside of it but then at least he won't walk on me but what if he does something bad to get attention. I'd let him in and out him out if he bothers me, so he learns he is going out when he bothers me.
I've always been such a light sleeper that I can't deal with having a cat wandering around in the bedroom in the middle of the night, so I simply don't let mine in.
Me either. This kitty is in a cage. Sorry, I have too many animals and insomnia to boot. But my kitty loves her cage, so it's a win/win
+jh099 I'm in the same boat. I've tried letting them sleep on the bed but I'm such a light sleeper than any movement or noise wakes me up. It's sometimes hard enough to sleep without them in the room! So yes, at night, bedroom door is closed and kitties get the rest of the house to enjoy.
you put your cat in a cage at night? cats are cats. they aren't dogs. you could just as easily let them roam and sleep in the house at night rather than locking them up in a highly confined space at night.
Brian Rawcliffe Who said anything about cages?
+jh099
Errrm,FairyPrincessNyx?
At least that`s how I read her post.
It's strange timing that this video popped up on my recommended videos because my cat did keep me awake last night. I will definitely use these tips. Thank you.
