My cat has strange behavior

My cat wakes me up every night

Four in the morning, an hour to sleep, to dream, from a human point of view.Nothing like in the inner world of our feline companion, in great shape and determined to make it known.Ten minutes that he meowed, that he kneads our flesh with his sharp claws, that he passes and returns to our face.Even a comatose would wake up.In desperation, defeated, we get up, direction the kitchen.A little haggard, we manage to catch the box of kibble and infants the animal."It is surely because it is hungry that he came to get me sleep," imagines the unfortunate human slave.In a hurry to join the land of dreams, he relieves his diaper, immediately joined by the cat, who without a look for his bowl, resumes his night concerto.

"This behavior is completely normal for a bird and mouse hunter," explains Laetitia Barlerin, veterinarian and cat author - everything they try to tell us (Albin Michel).In nature, the cat has peaks of activity and therefore an excitement to twilight and before dawn, moments conducive to hunting because the birds sing.Even the apartment cat keeps this circadian rhythm.His night awakenings have nothing to do with hunger.»»

Unlike the dog who seems to have lost his wild instincts, the cat keeps them: the dog has a master to whom he devotes himself, the cat has servants, slaves.
