Practically every morning about 2 AM, my cats are running through the house chasing each other. Not all of them, but as best I can tell it is Fawn (who else, ?), Amy, Nikolai, and big Otis. Listening to their paws running across the hardwood floors doesn't bother me, but I do not know if my awaking causes them to start this odd-hour playing or whether they wake me up with their antics.

Wayne- that age old question..what came first- the chicken or the egg...sounds like the same thing with your cats...do you wake up because of their antics? Or, does your waking up start their antics?:confused:

well, here on the east coast it is 3 a.m. antics. Must be the time difference. Actually, I can sleep through anything, but my honey tells me about this running around all the time.

I would agree with Randi, I bet it's them waking you up! LOL.
I love to hear my cats running around, it doesn't bother me at all, unless they start meowing and whining for something.
but I don't hear much after I go to sleep.

When I was growing up, we always called this behavior the "midnight itchies". Hmm - that would be 3:00am East Coast time.

Coincidence or not?
