Cats are nocturnal. They tend to hunt in the evenings.

One way to quiet them down is to play with them in the evening, then feed them before you go to bed.

Flying lessons also help. Now, if I could keep them from doing a 4 point stance on fiddly bits, that would be a coup.

It’s caused by a lead deficiency.

What, you don’t like cats?

At least cats don’t bark all the time at the slightest drop of a hat....

"A typical hunting time for cats is between 3 and 5am..."

I get up for work at 4:00 am - they are both ready to rock-n-roll ("what took you so long, dad" they say in their Cat-alonian dialect....)

We had a cat who liked to walk on the piano keys at night. I don’t remember why we didn’t just close up the piano, but we didn’t.

There’s nothing like being woken up early for breakfast by someone who sleeps 16 hours a day. Luckily she has otherwise excellent people skills.

I baby-sat a sweet little kitty cat for 2 weeks, and I was warned to go to bed with the door closed, and to ignore the cat trying to get in.

That first night the kitty jumped into bed with me to snuggle and get petted, and after about 15 minutes, she was ready to go to sleep, got up, curled up between my knees, and went to sleep (I had played with her quite a bit before bed time).

At about 4:30 am, the formerly sweet little kitty cat (anything that wakes me up at 4:30am is no longer “sweet,” with the possible exception of Kate Upton), by head butting my chin... I get out of bed and check her food bowl, and it’s still full... When I go back to the bedroom, she’s sitting on my bed, waiting for me to get back in... At which point she hops back on my chest for another 15 minutes or so of petting, at which point, she gets up and curls up between my knees and goes back to sleep.

It turns out that she just believed that 4:30am was pet the kitty time. And being a loyal member of her staff, who was I to disagree. Seriously though, it’s really funny that she just wanted to get some loving then go right back to sleep. And this went on for all 2 weeks!
