How old is the cat? Most cats will sleep most of the night when they aren't kittens anymore.
Well that was quick

The cat could also be getting fleas from the dog who is going out everyday.
For whatever reason, a lot of people are more willing to put effort and money into keeping a happy dog. Cats, perhaps because they're the products of bigger litters and are being bred stray all the time, or because they don't show the obvious loyalty that dogs do, are often thought of as free pets that require little to no work to keep happy and healthy. Which is just wrong. And is the reason everyone thinks cats are fickle ions.
Cats are nocturnal
Cats are cool. They have personalities and are far less work than dogs. They are smarter than people give them credit for. They adapt well and will settle into a routine around your schedule.
No I have a cat that sleeps most of the night.
don't do anything rash.
cowboy probably has a recipe!
Capstar is pretty inexpensive too. I think it's like $5 for one treatment and animals rarely need a second. But monthly preventatives are needed after.
Mine aren't. They both sleep on my king sized bed most of the night. If your cat or cats dig you, they will adjust their active period to when you are either most active or are home. Mine are active, happy, and omnipresent from 6P to midnight. They won't do that and stay up all night too, since they typically sleep 16 hrs a day.
The more you engage your cat, the better they behave. I talk to both of mine regularly, pick them up, tease them with a laser pointer, and brush them. One of them actually knows her name and comes when I say it.
Yes, be careful. I had a cat get skin cancer from that stuff. I agree, get the more expensive stuff the Vets have.
In nature, because that's when prey is out. Domesticated cats are different.
My cats understand several words. They actually obey sometimes as well.
My cat sits on command and gives up his paw in a paw shake.
He also opens desk drawers and looks for his laser toy and will knock the laser toy out of the drawer onto the floor and look at me to play laser with him.
We don't have a dog right now.
I guess some people are more comfortable with cats and some with dogs. I prefer dogs and yes we pick up his caca because I don't want' to be stepping in it. Our last dog would NOT get on the table and he could do if he wanted to by just climbing up on a chair onto the table. But he knew better and I coulld leave a dog bone up there and he would not go near it.
Our cat is smart and does understand commands and his name very well. Perhaps he is an unhappy cat and deserves a more loving home. I admit I don't play with him like I did our dog and sure can't take him out for a walk like I enjoyed before. I've know from past experiences as a roommate had a cat and while I didn't hate the cat I knew that a cat wasn't for me. Always have had just dogs.
One of my friends suggested I just take him out and let him loose out in the country side but I could never do that. It does make it easier that we are not as emotionally attached to the cat. Told our girls about taking him to the shelter and they just said ok and the first thing they asked is if we were going to get a dog.
Um yeah don't ever do that. There are enough feral cats out there that we don't need another. Also, it's pretty cruel. Educate your friend.
............ just leave the cat on the side of the road.
I think you need to put the flea medicine on their backs when they don't have fleas because if they have them and you put it on I don't think it kills them all. You probably will have to go the bath route. Rarely, some cats like it but most likely it will fight you and scratch like crazyjust try to not use a loud sprayer/hose/faucet or whatever because that freaks them out. I gave my old cat a bath once...that was an ordeal
I've never tried it but I've read brewer's yeast is a good flea repellent.
Oh well, poor catI suppose the trauma of losing his home, then losing the security of his crate routine was just too much for him to overcome without a little extra nurturing and understanding.
I was the exact kind of dog devotee as Joe described himself until about 7 years ago. I never chose to have cats, we were just kinda forced into helping out a cat in need and ended up having my outlook completely changed. I now have 2 dogs, 2 cats, a bird and 3 kids all living happily inside my house; I love it! Gotta admit, the dogs are STILL my favorite
I know it absolutely works for dogs, but I've never heard of using it for cats. Don't see why it wouldn't work though.
I've never heard of this treatment. Spend $5 on a pill instead if you want to be sure.
Sound like you don't want the cat...Why not just get a Pit-Bull...
