Shhhh Kitty!
So let's get one thing straight here. I love my furbaby. But I don't love that she has decided that 4am is my new wake up time.
I've tried everything I can think of from cuddling her to ignoring her to putting her out of the room. Nothing seems to work. She jumps on the bed at precisely 4am every morning and meows and cries and stomps on me and licks my face and breathe on me and plays with my feet under the blanket and then falls off the bed and runs around the room and picks at the carpet and knocks things over until I get up. Then she stops. Has any one else had this problem and how did you solve it? Thanks!! |

Is she waking you up to be fed? If so try giving her a teaspoon of food before bed and maybe that will allow her to wait longer in the morning.
You could also try playing with her before bed to see if you tired her out if that would help. Good Luck!

I have tried both of those things and neither of them worked.

Give them lots of kisses, then ignore them. I've lived this for over 20 years and have only found aging settles them down, nope, I'm lying, my 16 year old still gets the zoomies at 3am.
Seriously, can you lock your cat out of your bedroom and ignore if she scratches throughout the night? For a cat, not getting a response means what they are doing is not working so they give up. Getting a response means they are doing the right things to get what they want. Good luck.

I tried locking mine up when he was being sick, and he started crying every hour for about 5 minutes, and scratching then would stop, then once again an hour later he would start.
I found giving him some company, such as another cat, calmed him down. I also threw one of our old bed comforters in a room with him, with a litter tray, food water, and a bed, with the light off. This calmed him down. I gave him a quick cuddle before bed, settled him into his box, said night then left Thank goodness something worked!! |
