My 13lb, 3-year-old longhaired male (who we suspect has some Maine Coon in him - he loves water, playing fetch, greets us at the door, is basically a dog) keeps my husband and me up ALL NIGHT LONG with his litter box scratching. We have a covered litterbox for him and our other 7-year-old shorthaired female. He will run around the apartment and wake us up at midnight. Once he bothers us, my husband will get up and close him in the guest room. Then around 3 am he howls to be fed. We try to hold off until our quiet female asks for food around 5 am. Once fed, he has to use the box and will scratch the edge for 15-20 minutes straight. My husband gets up and shoo's him out and locks him back into the guest room until we wake up at 6 am. It's an all-night situation and he is driving us crazy.
Odd thing is, when my husband went out of town for business a few weeks ago for 3 nights, our male didn't disturb me once. I got up to feed them at 5 am, and that was it! I think he likes to play with my husband during the night, so to get him out of bed, he does all the things that annoy us. How do we make it stop and get some sleep?
