Please Help!!! Sunny's Driving Me Crazy!!!!

[krazyaboutkatz]

Thanks. I'm glad that I'm not alone. Sunny used to this when he was younger and then again when I had Cirrus. Cirrus would come out and play with him so then Sunny would stop his cat calling. He's been doing it again for the last few weeks or so. He just has too much energy for his own good.

I read about possibly giving cats melatonin to help with this problem but I won't do it until my vet says it's okay. I'll ask my holistic vet about it today when I see her. Sunny's already taking an herbal pill to help calm him down. Here's an article about it here://http://www.petplace.com/drug-library/melatonin-melatonex/page1.aspx

Link now works.

My Creamsicle has always done this, not every night, but several nights a week for, say, 5 minutes and then she stops and settles in. I wait it out. Wish I could be of more help.

I just got back from my holistic vet and since Sunny is already taking the Calm Spirit Teapills 2 times a day,she said to try giving him 2 of them at night. Hopefully this will help calm him down so I can get some sleep.

How about an interactive toy - like the ball in those plastic circles? Or a good playtime before you go to bed? Or a good catnip fest?

Even though there are natural remedies, I prefer playtime over pills...but depends on your schedule.

hugs!

He has so many toys and also has the one you're talking about. I think he prefers to play chase with his siblings though.
