Hello

I've got 2 cats. Brother and Sister. They are 9 years old. They are outside from about 3pm-10.30pm. They come in at 10:30. We make a fuss of them and then they get some food (wet fish). Food is available all the time (go-cat). At about 4pm every night the boy cat starts wondering around the house and then starts meaowing (that loud meow!). This goes on until someone (me) gets up and lets him outside.

The girl cat is OK.

What can we do to make him sleep thought to about 6.30! When I get up normally.

Please help!

Is he neutered? My boys howl at all times of the day and night but that's because they are after their hanky panky

If they are already outdoor cats can do you have a cat flap? If so you could leave it open for them to come and go as they please.

If you are at work all day and the cats are in the house they will probably sleep which is why they are wide awake at night time! LOL

Mine used to do this all the time - in the end I learnt to sleep through it.
Since we have moved house they have access to go outside during the day and then i keep them in at night and then they know its bedtime and go to sleep

My cats do this as well They're both neutered... I'm pretty sure they need the toilet.

We've altered the times they go out now, so they're out at night for a few hours, or if they come in they don't come in until last thing at night, in which case they'll sleep through til I get up at 7.

Ours usually claw my feet or the side of the bed right near my face when they want to go out

Both neutered. Don't wish to let them out at night. The boy one got shot in the eye a few years back so not happy to let him out at night.

Leave them downstairs with a radio on low-they may just want company and it's natural as most cats are nocturnal

Who would do that!?! Some people sicken me. Fair enough with that then

Mine have their beds in the kitchen for night time and then i shut the door - that way they cant wander around howling - or if they do the chances are you wont hear it as you will be upstairs.
I dont let mine out at night either so dont blame you for not wanting to do that

male cats are very difficult to keep indoors when they are not neutered for female cats, you won't encounter any problems unless they are in heat. so I think it's best you make them a pet door so they will come and go as they please.
