Do your cats have a schedule

I used to have cats years ago. I remember tha once my cat had kittens. It was as bad as having a very small herd of baby elephants in the house every morning at 2 am! They would wake up and run all over the place chasing each other. They would run across me while I was trying to sleep. They were nuts.

well, yeah, cats are more active at night... mine also runs around usually after 12am... they sleep most during the day till afternoon then they went out to play after then return home to eat and sleep again... :)

Oh yes - I could set my clock by Sasha, He is a stately old gentleman now - not much playing for him at his age - but his schedule is still exact. At 5.00am he will get up and go out. He doesn't stray much further than the garden now, but he will always do a circumnavigation of the garden (just to make sure no intruders are around), and then find a quiet corner to "do his business", have a wash, and then sit on the wall for half a hour or so before returning for his breakfast. After his breakfast, he will sit on the window sill and look out of the window, and growl at passers-by for an hour (LOL!), before retiring to bed at about 7.00am. He will rise again at about 4.30pm and eat his evening meal, before going back outside to spend an hour "patrolling" his territory. Then he will come back in, sit on my partner's knee while he reads or watches the TV, then eat a final evening snack, go out again for 5 minutes to make sure he is comfortable for the night, and then he comes up to bed with us. He is very predictable and loves his routine just like many "older" people!

My cat has a definate morning shcedule. She's always there to greet us in the morning when we go downstairs, and she will actually come up to me and miaow to be hugged, which i do, then she follows me into the kitchen where i'll give her some food before making my own brekky. She then goes upstiars untill it's time for us to go to work when she comes down again. She sticks to roughly ther same routine of greeting us again when we come in and being fed, though it does depend on whether my partner has been off work that day (he's self employed so has odd days off here and there) and wether she's asleep or not, but she usually wakes up when we get home.

Hello Sunnypub! I'm a cat owner and I really love my pets. My cat doesn't have any schedule she is free outside the house to breathe all the fresh air that she can breathe. my mother doesn't allow me to let my cat inside the house because she sh**s every where, my mother really hates what ever she does. My cat is happy with her other friends outside the house. My cat and her friends play in the backyard everyday and every minute. They run around, they bite each others ears softly, licks each other, groom each other and etc. They do a lot of crazy things. When ever my cat gets inside the house she always jumps at our table and eats our food, jumps to our figurines, eats lizards and she really cause lots of trouble thats why my mother doesn't allow her in. Although she is like that I still love her so much.

i swear, my cats hve invisible watches! They know exactly when the alarm is about to go off and will hop up on the bed right before it does and siton me. They know their feeding times, as well. They are amazing, really!

Yes our three cats do have their own scheduals and routines. The one has a little path she goes every mourning in the house. She checks everything out to see if everything is OK. The littlest one always goes and finds Mom when it is 6 PM (fedding time). She is rarely late but sometimes early. The third one runs around the house bout midnight. Then she goes and scratches on a cardboard box. We can always tell when she is doing it because she really rips into it and the others aren't as rough.

Hey, my cats do the exact same thing, and the funniest thing is that one of my cats looks almost exactly like yours. They run around like lunatics, I figure it's because they've slept all day, and this is their play time.

My cat Anna Belle (as seen in photo), always seems to run out of food at sometime during the night. She only eats hard food, due to a very delicate stomach, along with crunchy treats. Each morning around 7, before my alarm goes off, 'my cat alarm' sounds. I can hear her meowing from downstairs in the kitchen, and then she comes running up, jumps on the bed, and crys, and purrs loudly, until I'm fully awake. This is her way of telling me she 'needs' to be fed, and I already know what time it is, before I'm even wide awake. She's also nowhere to be seen, by mid morning to mid afternoon, as that's when she 'gets her beauty sleep,' in her basket at the foot of my bed. Your cat Lucy is soooooo cute!

Yea my cats all have their own agenda i like to say. The simese he sleeps in the bed under the covers and does the same sleep schedule as me lol. And the other three are up to no good all night long. They sometimes make more mess through the night then my three kids can make in a whole weekend if you can believe that. I have had to cat proof all of my house lol. They all have a regit food schedule though i have to be on time delivering or they are under my feet meowing there heads off lol. But you got to love em.

Well, my 3 kitties are also some of those renegades that do what they want when they want to. My old calico stays in my room and just comes out to eat and use the litter box but every once in awhile in my bathroom she finds her toy mouse and goes crazy on it all over my bathroom, like a relapse to the good ol' kitten days. My tabby spends her days either running like a maniac randomly or sleeping in the trash bag box so I cannot get to them wihtout a fight. And the other one just does strange things all the time. They too have an auto feeder but will make it VERY clear when it is empty.

I have a cat, he is 5 and he's name is Tomy. I live in an apartment and because of that my cat don't have much things to do. I can't let him out because he is very scared and out he is not safe and I don't want to lose him, because I love so much . Every day he sleep very much, he eat, if is a nice day he goes at the balcony and when I'm at home he play with me. Every night beside of that he is sleeping, he eats and he wakes me for petting him.

My cat has food issues. Every night at around 8:30 he starts to meow. If I am taking a bath he will sit outside my door and meow. Even if I leave food in his dish he will nag me. We tried an automatic feeder for a while. He would sit on the feeder and howl until it opened up at 8:30. If you leave food in his dish, he will want fresh food at 8:30. Tonight he was sitting right behind my computer chair meowing at my back.

Let me guess, is Lucey the one that does this at 11 o'clock every night? Doodlebug looks just like her. Doodlebug does this freak out every night around midnight. Attacking anything and everything. Tries to climb the walls and crashes into things. As soon as I get up in the morning she is yelling at me to clean her litter box. After dinner again with the litter box.

I have 3 cats and one of them always will start to run around the house too at night time. And like you said for no reason at all. I dont know why they do this but yes its pretty funny.

Cats are creatures of habit, my cats have such a schedule at 5:00 am, noon and 5:00 pm, they beg for wet food, around 10:00 am my white cat wants to take his nap and will look for towels, blankets or something to lay on, he would prefer to lay on the kitchen counter for this and will call me there to help him find something to lay on. My other cat likes to nest with me, he starts around 8:00 am and will continue until his nap at 10:00 am. At 3:00 they both come out from where they are to be petted and look out the window for the next 30 minutes and then back to naptime.

I have 2 cats who also have what I call their "freak out" time anywhere between 9 & 11 pm. They seem to grow wings or motors and race around the house, up the curtains, over the furniture, everywhere.....

Oh yes my cat Gracie does just that- She sleeps during the day when we aren't home or when we are outside-- then when we come home she runs all around! About 9 pm when it's time to start settling down she flips out and chases everything all around- Every morning between 2-3am.. she comes up to bed and meows very loudly until you say Gracie- come on-- then she jumps up on the bed and you have to pet her to get her to stop meowing. I think she thinks you have slept long enough! Drives me crazy! Even on weekends

Yup, my cat Moomin definitely has a schedule. Regular in that she is always a lot more active in the evenings, and she know when it's time for bed too. Normally around 11pm she will amble into the kitchem for a late snack and a drink, then she comes to me, headbuts me for some attention, then races upstairs to our bedroom where she settles on the end of the bed.

I used to have a cat that when and used the litter box at the same times everyday, and wanted to be fed at six not six o one or anything else six at night. He was cald dman. short for demand.
