My two cats recently met about 2 months ago, and they have quickly become great friends. The only problem is, they are playing at night. Constantly. They are both rather vocal cats, and them bouncing down the hallway gets old fast. Sleeping is just not possible. When I try to hold one of them, Gizmo, he gets very upset and tries to get back to Cookie (the other cat). He never bites or scratches, but it is annoying with him constantly trying to wiggle out while I try to calm him. How would I stop their nighttime routine? I understand they are nocturnal animals, but Gizmo used to match my sleep schedule before he met Cookie.
Additional information that might help:
Both cats are neutered males
They are definitely not fighting. They are chasing each other, and flopping around the floor. No snarling, biting, hissing, or anything like that. They only use claws when they are overstimulated, or are done playing.
