Hi all,
As some of you might have read in the intro, I am very new to cats - my family rescued a sweet guy and now we have all sorts of questions.
Here are my questions:
1. As a result of the abusive and unloving circumstances of this cat's previous place of living, he became used to sleeping through the day and bouncing all over at night. His night active lifestyle can be very disruptive to our sleep and we all have to get up very early for work.
Is there any way we could help him learn to be active during the day and sleep at night?
2. When he is running and jumping all over at night, he loves to jump on us sleeping which, of course, wakes us up dozen times per night.
How can we teach him that jumping on us/bed at night is a 'no,' but it's ok to jump on us/bed during the day?
Thank you!
