My Cat Is a Midnight Menace—Help!

Does anyone else have a cat who thinks 3am is prime time for chaos? Mine brings me gifts (read: dead mice), launches herself onto my stomach like she’s auditioning for Cirque du Soleil, and meows until I’m one eye open and cursing my life choices. Here’s what’s actually helped: I ignore her Oscar-worthy meowing (no matter how dramatic). No treats, no scolding—just pure, stone-cold indifference. I feed her right before bed, so she’s less likely to wake me up for a snack. Also, nightly play sessions are a must. I tire her out with feather toys until she flops over like a furry potato. If she’s still in gremlin mode, I shut her out of my room and give her a cozy setup elsewhere. It’s not easy, but trust me, caving in just makes it worse.
