With the arrival of the night, our furry friend is much more active than usual. He walks from room to room, occasionally running fast for a few moments, or he may even have the urge to throw something on the floor, which he will not do because he is rebellious but to get our attention.
The feline tries to tell us something but sometimes it is difficult to understand him. That's when we wonder why does my cat meow at night, and what we can do to rest it.
Being awakened at dawn is not a pleasant feeling, but when you have a cat it is something that can happen, especially if it is not neutered. Why? Because these animals are nocturnal, that is, they remain active from dusk to dawn. During those hours, if they were in their natural habitat or on the street, what they would do would be to explore their territory, and go in search of a mate if it was mating season.
The problem is that the furry animals that we have at home often do not have the opportunity to go outside and less at night, so they will do everything possible to get our attention in order for us to open the door for them.
Obviously, we should not pay attention to them, since otherwise we could end up having to take care of an unwanted litter of cats, or in the worst case we would have a loved cat ... and lost. But what do we have to do to avoid meowing at night? Is there a trick to get it to rest until dawn?
The truth is that yes. The first thing I always recommend is sterilize the cat or the cat (or both, if you have both). It is a surgical operation that veterinarians perform on a daily basis. After which, the animals will recover quickly, and will no longer have heat or, of course, unwanted litters. In addition, their behavior tends to change: they tend to become calmer and more sedentary, and if they go outside, you will quickly see that they do not stray as far as before.
And my second and last advice is that you tire them. The trick to getting them to sleep at night is to tire them out during the day, so you have to take advantage of those times they are awake to play with them, either with a feather duster, a ball, a rope or by giving them a cardboard box.
With these tips, you will surely be able to sleep peacefully.
