Many cat owners face the problem when their pets actively disturb them at night, running around the apartment or scratching at the door. But with the help of some proven methods, you can train your cat to the correct night regime.
URA-Inform reports on how to train cats to sleep at night.
Here are some recommendations for owners to ensure a peaceful rest for both themselves and their pet.
1. Creating a comfortable place to sleep
It is important for your cat to feel safe and private, especially at night. Experts recommend setting aside a special place for your pet where it will feel comfortable and calm. Place a soft blanket or pillow in the corner where your cat can rest. You can also reinforce the habit of putting your pet there before bed, using rewards or treats to reinforce good behavior.
2. Physical activity before bed
Cats are active and playful creatures. Lack of physical activity during the day can lead to them looking for ways to release their energy at night. The problem can be solved by arranging a game before bed. This way, your pet will spend its energy and be ready for a night's rest.
3. Forming a stable sleep schedule
A regular schedule helps your pet adapt to your habits. Set a specific time for feeding and putting your cat to bed so that it gets used to the routine. This will allow him to learn to sleep at night, and not disturb your sleep.
