How to Prevent Your Cat from Waking You Up at Night?
You love your cat more than anything in the world, but they turn your nights into a true nightmare! Especially when the full moon approaches. Don't worry; we can help with that!
In this article, you'll discover how to have a good night's sleep even if your cat turns into a little devil at night. But first, remember the golden rule of an Educator, as Daniel Filion, president of the firm, says: "Always start by consulting a veterinarian to rule out any medical reasons for inappropriate behavior."
- Have you tried everything?
Many people dealing with a cat meowing every night say, "I've tried everything to make them stop: I've petted them, fed them, let them out—everything." Well, as Sandie Decortiat, president of the French branch of Educhateur, points out: "Indeed, they've done everything… to encourage the cat to continue."
- Ignore your cat:
If your cat meows at night, it's often seeking your attention. By attending to them, you reward their behavior and encourage them to do it again. So, it's essential to completely ignore them.
- Be discreet:
If you're concerned about your cat, get up, but avoid making eye contact. Quickly check on them to make sure they're fine and then turn on a tap. This way, your cat won't think you got up for them.
- Dealing with a professional meower:
Keep your cat occupied during your sleep with toys. Place several silent toys around your home for your cat to play with. Also, consider putting some catnip on a cushion before going to bed. It will attract them during the night, and they'll forget to disturb your precious sleep.
However, if your cat has been waking you up at night for more than three weeks, their behavior might have become a habit. In such a case, seeking the help of an Educator might be necessary.
