Cat's are nocturnal, I understand that. BUt Grissom's nocturnal tendencies are driving us NUTS. We play with him in the evenings, when we get home from work, but that is apparently not enough. Every night around 3 am, he goes absolutely INSANE. I wouldn't mind, but there are people living beneath us and they are getting a bit perturbed. Anyway, last night it started with attacking his toy mouse on the linoleum, which is loud becuase he has no traction so he runs into things and knocks things down. So after a bit, I got up and took the mouse off him. The guy beneath us pounded on his ceiling. Quiet. For 1.2 minutes. Then, it was NASCAR time. He ran from the living room through the kitchen and bedroom into the bath and up onto the toilet, then back out through the kitchen. I got up to try and stop him and he blew past me back into the bathroom into the tub, yanking down my shower curtain. Then back out, between my legs and into the living room. He made his return lap and I shut the bedroom door. Thinking he would calm with just the bedroom and the bath, but no, he lapped them too! Bathroom, to under the bed, then to the bathroom. I shut the bathroom door. So then, he decides, under the bed to the top of mommy's dresser is a grand idea. I must admit here that he is a very graceful jumper, not a single fairy figurine was moved on my dresser. However, this was still unacceptable. One, because by this point I had been up over an hour with Grissom the Lunatic, and two becuase the guy downstairs was surely still hearing this noise.
So, back to the point of this post. What can I do to make him less nocturnal? Or am I and the man downstairs just going to have to live with it?
