Content: Some cats do well adjusting to human schedules. Feeding your cat late in the night before going to bed or with an automated feeder can help you keep to the biological schedule of your pet. One of the best practices as a pet cat owner is to avoid giving it breakfast immediately after leaving the bed. This will prevent your pet cat from connecting the two actions (“waking you up” and “getting breakfast”) with each other. #4. It could be an infestation or health challenge
If your cat’s midnight running around includes meows, it could be a result of a bite from a flea. This consequently can result in serious itching that may feel uncomfortable for your cat. Running around in the middle of the night can also be a result of a skin disorder that worsens in the night and Feline Hyperesthesia Syndrome (FHS) is a well-known cause of this cat reaction. This disorder results in an increase in general activity and makes the cat display some aggressive behaviours like attacking its own tail, self-grooming and self-directed pouncing, vocalization, or pupil dilation for some minutes. Hyperthyroidism in cats, which results from an increase in the production of thyroid hormones, is also known to cause hyperactivity.
