Need help with hyper cat!

Hmm... Ollie sounds very similar to how my kitty was for awhile. I agree with the other writers who suggested a vet eval, a play session and some food. If there is nothing medically wrong, could it be that he's hungry or thirsty? Could you feed him a little at bedtime, especially after playing? Then, maybe an early morning portion so he will let you sleep until the usual hour. Let us know how he does, please!

this is kind of mean but the doc said get a spray bottle and if he gets too hyper then spray his feet...he'll lay down like an angel. but when you put him out he'll go crazy. I know from experience..... lol

Hm. I read and re-read your message. It almost sounds like he is afraid of the dark!!! He gets worries and makes noise until you wake up. And what do you do when you wake up? Ibet you turn a light on! And he calms down?

What do you know about his background? Was he a stray? maybe something happened to him during the dark. But if you got him from a friend and he has always been cared for, well, that rules out trauma causing a fright.

Lots of questions have been asked, if he is neutered, if he goes outdoors, if he is like this in daylight/ day time, what does he do during the day. does he have a playmate (yes), does he have toys to keep him busy when you are out, is he trying to bond with you, or to get the lights on?

Seems like we all want more info!

Try a night light! Or two. Plug them into the wall.
