Welcome to the Friday Edition of the Cats.com Newsletter!
Some cats sleep when you do, while others get a burst of energy when the bedroom door closes. My cat, Biscuit, thinks midnight is the perfect time for a game of fetch. I always wake up to find several toys piled outside the door.
In this Friday’s mailer, we’ll talk about what cats get up to at night and why they can be so noisy. |

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT OF THE WEEK
TRIXIE Brain Mover Activity Strategy Game
If your cat keeps you up at night meowing for attention, a challenging puzzle game might be the ideal solution. Tuck some of your cat’s favorite treats into this activity board right before you go to bed. You’ll be snoozing away by the time your cat is done playing. |
|
This puzzle toy features four different modules to engage your cat’s brain and body. Level 1 involves pushing away a ball to reveal the treats underneath. The more difficult modules involve moving a lever or pulling a cord to open a hidden drawer.

5 Reasons Your Cat Makes Noise at Night
If you’ve ever woken up to the sound of your cat sprinting down the hall or yowling outside your door, you're not alone. It’s pretty common for cats to be active at night, but why do they have to be so noisy about it? And what are they getting up to?
1. They’re stressed out. Increased vocalization can be a sign of stress in cats, especially sounds of distress like yowling or growling.
2. They’re having a good time. Not all vocalizations are bad—some cats chirp or chatter when they’re playing or just having a good day.
3. They’re trying to get your attention. Whether it’s food, water, or playtime, your cat wants what they want when they want it.
4. They’re dreaming. Cats dream like we do—they even have nightmares—and sometimes they whine, growl, or hiss in their sleep.
5. They’re experiencing cognitive decline. Like dementia in humans, cognitive decline can cause disorientation, and a confused or anxious cat might vocalize at night.
Cats that aren’t spayed or neutered can also be pretty noisy. Female cats often yowl when they go into heat, and unaltered male cats may vocally express frustration if they know a female cat is nearby but can’t get to her.
