Hi, I am having a problem. Every night between 4-4:30 am I wake up to a cat scream. As some of you may already know, I have 2 cats of my own and recently took on my friend's cat to take care of while she's out of town. Her cat is much older than mine and doesn't participate in their play. She stays under the couch most of the time, however I caught her roaming around the room or sitting on the couch when I am not there. As soon as she sees me comming in, she bolts back under the couch.
So, one night I woke up to a terrible scream that felt like it made the entire house shake. I rushed out of my bedroom and saw Eow's butt and tail just disapearing under the couch, Wesley nervously running around and Chichi calmly sitting on the chair giving me the look like she had nothing to do with what happened. I figured the new cat must have not properly adjusted to my place, so I took her back to the storage room where she remained for 5 days. When I let her out things were calm, but then the screams started happening again. From every other night to every single night. Always between 4 and 5 am. Sometimes scaring the crap out of me, waking up my neigbour's dog and making him all nervous. I eventually got used to the screams. Sometimes I would even wake up right before they start and sort of expect there to be a scream any minute, and sure enough, I hear it. I checked the cats for any scratches or physical damage, none. I figured the fights aren't as bad as they sound. In fact, one of my theories is that there aren't any cat fights, it's just Eow's loud and obnoxious way of letting Wesley know to leave her alone. (He can be annoying sometimes)
But darn it, I can't sleep like that.
