Need help with hyper cat!

[kimlovescats]

I dare say you have one Nawtee boy on your hands! I would say get a playmate for him, but you already have another kitty. I assume he is neutered as well? Does your other cat play with him at all, or is he a very laid back non-playful kitty? I guess you "could" consider getting a young kitten and see if it would tire him out some. Other than that, I know a few members here have used different sprays and medicines to calm their kitties, but I've never tried any myself.

Last resort, talk to your vet and be sure there isn't medically wrong, or get a prescription for something to calm him. Good luck!

Hmmm. Difficult one. Cats are naturally nocturnal. So being active at night is NORMAL.

First question...is he locked (closed) OUT of your bedroom at night? Could that be what makes him "panic"?

Is he this active during the day?

Is he allowed outside?

Maybe his internal clock needs a bit of resetting. Make him play HARD before the time YOU want to go to sleep. Then feed him so his full belly will make him sleepy (combined with his play time, he should be tired out).

As asked earlier, if he is not neutered, do so. Should help to calm him down some.

Also, a vet might be able to suggest a sedative for bedtime, especially if nothing else works.

Any news on your wild boy?
