Hi Lisamb, George is my night talker, well I should say night howler! Every night it's the same thing! He will get right beside me, or stand at the end of the bed, and then makes the most horrible sounding cry I've ever heard!
I know he wants something...nothing physical like food or water or even attention(he's not a people kitty, and hates to be petted) he just cant stand it when someone(me) has been sleeping and quiet for a long period of time. I finally figured this out because I noticed he'll do the same thing when I'm quietly reading or in a different room for a while or he thinks he's alone. As soon as he finds me(awake) he stops, and after awhile he'll do it again until he finds me and is reasured again. He's got 4 other furmates, but needs the (mommy)security, even though he doesnt want human contact. Cats can be so funny sometimes! I havent come up with a solution for the night time howling, but my husband has...his new rule is, our bedroom door is shut(he gets up at 5am for work) and these wake up calls were making him very grumpy! It breaks my heart because my other 4 babies love to sleep with me(or I actually cant sleep without them), and cant now, but work and income is more important than my furbaby addictions,LOL! Good luck, and if you come up with something else besides closing the door, I would love to know!
