Ha! The laser light makes my cats very tired! They all settle down after playing with it for about 10-15 minutes.

MommaCat, I had the same nighttime problems with 2 of my cats. Especially the alpha male. He would want to play about 2 a.m. every morning! I just wasn't getting enough sleep. So I finally started getting up when he came in at 2 a.m. and carrying him to the bedroom door, set him outside the bedroom door, closed the door and went back to sleep. Eventually, he changed his habits to not waking me til 6 a.m. Now it's between 6 and 7 a.m. which is more acceptable. He's like my alarm clock now. I like to get up by 7:00 most days and I never set my alarm! I depend on Wooz to wake me and he never fails.

My alpha male, Wooz, also sits and stares at the mom cat whom he used to chase and be nasty to. It doesn't bother her much anymore - she's good at ignoring him now.

Good luck!
