I have had Twitch for 2 1/2 years. At first, he never bothered me in the middle of the night. He would sleep at the end of my bed and be terrific. When we moved in with my husband he started pawing at the mirror at about 2 a.m. to get attention and it got so bad we got a second cat to keep him company through the night.
For almost two years, we slept through the night with being woken up just a few times, usually just because they were extra rambunctious and knocked something over.
For the past 6 weeks though, Twitch has been scratching my husbands grandmothers rocking chair at 4:30 every morning. If we ignore him, he keeps going until our alarm goes off at 5. If we acknowledge it, he keeps doing it. His grandmother passed away over a year ago and that is when we got the chair, we haven't moved it. We still have the second cat. But when we move the chair into the bathroom and close the door, we sleep through the night.
What is going on?
