I have an adult neutered male orange tabby cat that I picked up as an adult stray probably 4-5 years ago, so I would assume he is 6+ years old. He is your average lazy lap cat, not very playful, but extremely affectionate to friends and strangers alike. He is probably the most loving and outgoing cat I have ever had.
Long story short I moved into an apartment with my girlfriend and her younger more energetic adult cat last October. Three weeks ago my girlfriend of six years walked out on us and took his slightly annoying, but beloved playmate with him.
Since then, he randomly moans/calls at all time of day, but it extremely frustrating when he wakes me up at the wee hours of the morning. I can usually snap him out of it by calling him and he comes running and jumps in bed with me, but I really need to get a good nights sleep.
I work 60-80 hours a week, so he is often left alone in the apartment without much to do. I was thinking about getting a kitten to keep him company and occupied when I am away from home, but haven't made that decision yet.
Any ideas on how I can get him to stop the behavior?
Thanks,
A red eyed, sleep deprived, cat lover...
