Why do cats get the zoomies at two in the morning ?

Because we are by nature more nocturnal ! We sleep 14-18 hours a day, mainly during the day, especially if our human is at work and we have nothing else to do.

Then it’s purrfectly normal for us to vent us at night if we fail to day activities. However, this night game marathon is not necessarily the taste of our human …

Here is how our humans can adjust our internal clock for their personal comfort :

  • ensure that we are as active as possible, and therefore woken during the day : put toys available and use a treat dispenser that requires some activity to get a reward
  • provide more intensive sessions of various games on a regular schedule. If your human works all day, it’s best to plan a morning game session in the morning, a play session when he’s back from work, and a play session prior to the time you go to bed
  • use an interactive toy for these play sessions (throwing balls, laser, tape continue fishing rod, …)

To win more quiet nights, your human must meet the program daily. After 1 month, Claire was able to spend whole nights (22h30-5h30) without interruption from us, except full moon nights. Those nights are special, nothing can stop us from having the zoomies !
