I am really hoping that someone can give some advice as I am at the end of my tether...
We have cat who was originally a rescue. He is about a year old and has been neutered. He is, for various reasons, a house cat, but we try desperately hard to keep him stimulated and have spoilt him with all kinds of toys, scratching posts, rattles, bouncey balls, laser pens etc.
He has never been the best sleeper - he sleeps in with us (or we have to put up with him scratching at the door all day) - and we regularly have to put up with him nibbling our toes, sitting on our heads etc. All very endearing.
However, for the last few weeks he has been yeowling REALLY loudly - normally at around 4am and then again at about 6.30. He has free run of the place, always has access to drinking water and dry food and his litter tray etc so there isn't anything that he can need. We try to wear him out by playing with him for ages straight before bed each night but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
It is driving us mad, any advice? If it's just a cuddle he wants then he is always able to come and snuggle up to us in bed. I'm concerned that it is because he wants to play but as much as I love him, I'm not getting up in the night to throw his ball around....
