Has the cat been neutered? If not this is the first step toward ending the night-time crazies.

This is the time of year when many cats become restless and want to go outside - even if they've been indoors for years. I'm going though much the same thing with my cat!

He may be hearing the rabbit scrambling around upstairs too.

Anyhow, try a vigorous play session right before bedtime. Also get a Comfort Zone plug-in with Feliway and see if that helps calm him. Rub a drop of Rescue Remedy on his ear tips too.

If the behavior continues you will have to gird yourself to try to change it by putting him in a carrier or a cage for a brief time out whenever he disturbs your rest. He will howl of course, but you'll have to just try to cope with that. Eventually he'll get the message!

Smile, it will make them wonder what you are up to!
