We’ve taken to given our cat his own bedroom as night because he drives us up the wall, leaping on the bed at all hours and howling for food from 3am. At first I felt like a bit of a monster, but last night I noticed he was hanging out in “his room” while we were getting ready for bed, so that made me feel better and we’re both sleeping soooo much better.
Sadly, the layout of my apartment impedes the ability to give him a room to chill in. Plus, he has bonded to me considerably, and at 3ish years old I don’t want to cause him more anxiety lol, he’s so needy already.
I’m going to try and play with him more before bed, so he’s tuckered out. In the long term, I want to get him a big cat wheel to work off the energy. As a top floor apartment, I don’t want to keep running around to wear him down and annoy the neighbors by stomping 😂
But this is certainly a good idea! I’ll think of ways to implement this within the environ.
