They have woken me up like 8 times today.

We have a cat, Coco, who sleeps on our bed at night. She wakes my wife to feel her in the morning, per the usual routine.
After that, my wife stays up and busies herself around the house before getting ready for work.

When Coco is indoors, we keep her locked in the master bedroom, bath and laundry room area to keep the other cat from bothering her.
After breakfast, she often starts meowing to go outside. She meows quietly but with each freaking breath. It drives me insane when I'm trying to sleep.

When the weather is warm, my wife lets Coco out. And that's the problem. She wants to go outside until she realizes that it's cold or rainy.

So, on days when it's too cold, my wife locks her in the guest bedroom on the other side of the house so that I can't hear the noise. Crazy cat!

Our other cat, Poatie, is strictly indoors and gets the run of the rest of the house at night. He rarely meows unless he is being charming while begging for snacks. But he wants to play with with Coco even though she is terrified of him. That's why we have to keep the two cats separated.

When Coco is locked in our bedroom suite, Poatie sometimes tries to get her attention by sticking his arm under the door. He pulls on the springy door stopper and lets it go with a loud twang. He'll do it over and over. So we put a pillow over the door stopper to foil Poatie's game.

I assume it's a dog or cat? Make sure they've been exercised before you go to bed. Walk the dog, or play with the cat for 20 mins or something. Make sure they're fed and watered too. That's usually enough for my cat.

I usually shut my cat in my living room with her litter box, food and water if she’s being too noisy in my room and hallway.

Some cats are night hunters and will stay up all night looking for something to kill and eat. I feed my cats just before I go to bed, and they are satiated and sleepy and don't get up until the morning.

Levin · Answer

You have two options. Either eat them, or give them away.
