Please help.
My cat is a 3 year old neutered male. He stays indoors. We are gone during the day from 8 until about 6pm Monday through Friday, and usually around on the weekends.
He has gotten in the habit of sitting on my bedside table and crying starting at 3AM. when i yell NO he runs away but comes back 5 minutes later.
Sometimes I will move him onto the bed with me and pet him and he will fall asleep next to me until 530, when I get up. Recently this tactic hasn't been working as well.
Our apartment is small and there is no other room to shut him in during the night. The bathroom is right next to our room so we can hear him when we put him there.
Does anyone have an idea what he wants? Or how I can get him to stop?
I'm losing so much sleep!!
