Cat Too Hyper at Night

Question:

Hi, how can I get my cat to calm down at night cuz she gets really hyper so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong?

Answer:

Melissa,
Cats are nocturnal creatures and naturally more active at night. You might try keeping her awake during the day, so that she sleeps more at night. Since she is not spayed, she may be in heat. If she is rolling around and yowling, this is likely her problem. The only "cure" for this is spaying, which should be done anyway, along with vaccinations, as part of an ordinary healthcare routine!

Good Luck,
