Just like my cat

My cat Charlie is the same way, here is a few things we have changed and now he is great.

1. We work during the day, so thats when he sleeps. On the weekends we attempt to change that by keeping him up all day long, we close all the bedroom doors so theres no comfy plce to sleep and we play play play. Anytime he lays his head down, we pet him, get out the string, whatever keeps him up so by night time hes so pooped out he sleep like a baby.

2. No more soft food in the morning. Im not sure if you do this, but we did, and instead of getting soft food at 7 he wanted it at 5 and would do anything to get it! He now gets it when we get home from work or before bed. He always has hard food available.

3. We take him outside. You may want to use a harness, Charlie is a scardy cat and wont leave the yard (theres also dogs on either side of the fence and that helps) ever sinse we started taking him outside he has woke me up maybe once in the morning. Not sure why it worked but it did!

Hope this helps, if I think of anything else we've done Ill let you know.
