If you are asking “How can I sleep through the night without strangling my cat?” you need to be aware that the idea that cats are nocturnal animals is a fallacy. People just think this is the price you pay for having a cat. But your cat being up all night is a symptom of your failure to provide Routine, Ritual, and Rhythm. Cats actually aren’t nocturnal. They live on a crepuscular rhythm, and naturally want to get up at dusk and dawn when their prey is most active.
