Cats are often nocturnal. In the article, we will tell you what this is connected with.
Why does a cat run at night
Because they sleep most of the day - 12 to 16 hours a day - they are actually awake when they are awake.
Running from one end of the house to the other after a long nap is a way for them to reset their mind and body.
The nocturnal activity of cats is instinctive hunting.
Another reason why cats run around at night is that they want attention from their owner.
Most often, cat screams at night are not a cause for concern.
Spend more time playing with your pet - at least half an hour a day.
This is completely natural behavior. The cat is a natural predator and sees well in the dark.
Therefore, when attacking you in the dark, the animal is just following its instincts.
Increasing playtime during the day or evening will reduce restlessness at night.
How to wean your cat from being active at night
Try changing your cat's schedule gradually.
To manage a cat's nighttime activity, cat owners can try to gradually change the cat's schedule by encouraging playtime and feeding during the daytime and early evening hours so that the cat's schedule more closely matches that of the people in the house.
