Night time activity

Is your cat active and noisy at night time?

This can be really annoying and make it hard for us to sleep.

Behavioural problems. We see them as problems, animals see them as totally natural behaviour.
Being active at night is normal for a cat.
Scratching is normal for a cat.
We have to provide opportunities for our animals to preform their normal behaviours.
If we do not do this then there will be "problem behaviours".


It is possible to reprogram these behaviours. if you are away during the day, they will likely sleep a lot during the day, we expect them to the sleep at night. Allow then opportunities to be active during the day.  Slow release feeders and toys while home alone.

Leave toys for her to play with at night or better is to have active play sessions before bed then she will sleep.


Safety training for cats
If your cat escapes/runs away when scared, it is useful to train the cat for recall or to teach them to meow on cue.

Leave them out for the first time when they are hungry. Let them take a few steps and call back for treats, repeat many times.

Can teach them like dogs if you train them total food from your hand.
