Why Does Your Cat Wake You at Night? The Spruce / Adrienne Legault
In their natural habitats, cats are nocturnal creatures. They sleep almost all day and play or hunt all night. There are a few reasons why your kitty might be prompted to wake you up in the dead of the night. It may not be getting enough stimulation, enrichment, and exercise during its active periods, so while you're starting to fall asleep, your cat may be fully awake and looking to play. If your cat spends most of its active time home alone while you're at work or elsewhere, it may be bored and looking for companionship. Your kitty is hungry, thirsty or wants a midnight snack or a special treat.
