The cat does not sleep at night mainly related to its living habits, because cats in the wild and domestic cats in rural areas need to be hunted, and hunting objects such as mice are usually active at night, resulting in the formation of this nocturnal state of cats. Secondly, it may also be caused by the cat sleeping too much during the day, estrus, hungry and other reasons. In addition, if the cat is accompanied by other abnormalities, such as barking, poor spirits, loss of appetite, etc., it may be caused by physical discomfort, and it is recommended to take the cat to the pet hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible.
1. It is related to life habits
Cats are nocturnal animals, so they have formed the behavior of sleeping during the day and moving at night since childhood, even if cats live with people, their nocturnal behavior habits can not be changed immediately.
2. Sleeping too much during the day
If the cat has been sleeping and resting during the day, it will naturally be very energetic that night, so it will not sleep. Therefore, the owner can use cat teasing sticks, toys, cat scratchers, etc., during the day to make it consume more energy as much as possible, so that the cat will sleep at night because of physical exhaustion.
3. Cats in heat
The spring and autumn seasons of each year are the estrus period of cats, affected by hormones, cats’ energy will be very vigorous, and there will also be yelling in the middle of the night, urinating anywhere, irritable and other phenomena. When the cat is in heat, it can be improved by petting, temporarily changing the feeding environment, etc. If it is not for the purpose of breeding, it can also be taken to a pet hospital for spay/neuter surgery.
4. Hungry
If the owner does not feed the cat regularly and quantitatively, when the cat is hungry at night, it may be hungry and thirsty and unable to sleep. Therefore, the owner must feed the cat regularly and quantitatively, which can not only improve the situation that the cat does not sleep because of hunger, but also benefit the cat’s physical health. At the same time, you can also prepare cat food and drinking water for the cat before going to bed, so as not to disturb the owner’s rest because of hunger and thirst.
5. Being unwell
If the cat’s body is not well, it will also cause it to not sleep at night, and it will also bark because of pain, and the cry at this time will mostly sound heartbreaking. Therefore, the owner should also pay attention to the health of the cat, and once the cat is found to be abnormal, it needs to seek medical attention in time.
