We think that this is a question that every single cat owner has asked themselves at one point or another. There we are, peacefully sleeping, when suddenly, we feel a tiny paw on our faces. Or maybe hear a suspicious amount of loud meowing. Or, if our cat is feeling particularly dramatic, we might get the full 3 AM zoomies happening directly across our faces. And we are left wondering… why?
It's frustrating, we know. But as frustrating as it can be when your feline alarm clock goes off in the middle of the night, there are usually reasons behind the behavior. Getting mad at our cats is pointless. It won't change anything. We need to understand why this is happening.
