Why does my cat wake me at night? Plan an evening routine that works

Why does my cat wake me at night? Cats are built to hunt in the quiet hours, and a dull day can turn into a lively night.

Tell the planner your bedtime, your cat's age and when the waking happens, and get an evening routine: play, then a meal, then sleep. Reward-based and kind, with a vet check first if it is new or your cat is older. Sources from Cats Protection and humane societies.
