I love Moose! That’s me at 3:00 a.m., too, only I’m on the toilet at that time. Balder Half brings me back. Moose, always a study in black and white.,
Deedles:
I dread getting up to pee close to that time because it gets Moose going and SG will have to get out of bed to give him a treat. The hope is that he won’t start complaining until closer to 4. SOMETIMES, that happens.
How do you get him to stop? Food?
Debra:
At that time of night, it’s sure to be a treat. Other times, he might want a treat, attention (a cuddle), or to have his litter box scooped. Neither cat likes a used litter box. It’s easy to tell what he wants.
OMG. That would drive me crazy.
Steve:
It does. SG is the one who gets up. The main is a saint. If Moose only wants a cuddle, I will often accommodate. But when he yowls outside the bedroom, it’s not a cuddle he’s looking for.
Good thing he’s cute!
Ever tried totally ignoring his commands/demands?
Jim:
Amazingly, he NEVER stops until he gets what he wants. We’ve tried to ignore him — for a couple of hours! Dudo, on the other hand, does give it a rest. So he usually just waits quietly (usuall) until we give in to Moose.
He tries various notes, to hit on the one that will get action. Iykyk. Boud
Boud:
It’s usually a lot worse and a lot more varied than this. Dear goddess!
Moose is such a loveable contortionist, though his 3AM meowing would drive me crazy! Poor old Moose would meow himself hoarse before I’d get up at that unholy hour to give him a treat!
Barking dogs can be behaviourally modified by collars that emit an annoying sound frequency that only they can hear (humans have the remote control) — is a similar collar available for cats?
Tundra Bunny:
We’ve tried to ignore him. He HAS meowed himself hoarse. But he never stops. And who’s really winning if we have to listen to that for 2 hours and get no sleep? Cats don’t respond to punishment the way dogs do. I would never use that type of collar on them as I think it would be very traumatic. Better we suffer the trauma of his demands every night.
I think many people forget that cats are nocturnal animals naturally. Nighttime antics at any time of the night

Adam:
Fortunately, they do sleep up to 20 hours a day, so they’re not on the rampage all night.
Awwww. He sounds so pitiful! I stand corrected. Maybe he CAN be a bit of a little shit at times.
Kelly:
Trust me!
I don’t speak cat, my guess would be snack, snuggles, or sex – for most of us making that kind of noise at that time of the day, it is one of those three.
David:
That time of night, it’s treats. The rest of the day it’s either a demand for treats, a cuddle, or a scooped litter box. And it’s usually easy to tell.
No cat naps during the day…
Jssw:
There are times we’ve both been tempted to yowl at them while they sleep.

David:
So perfectly explained!
I would not be able to cope with that noise disturbing my precious sleep! Jx
Jon:
It can drive us crazy. However, I sleep so profoundly now that, when SG gets up to give them a treat, I’m asleep again in 30 seconds. He IS a saint.
Up all night, sleeps all day. What a party animal.
Kirk:
He sleeps most of the night, too, the little shit. But he NEEDS his treats.
So loveable! – and I STILL can hardly believe what you call them! 🙂
Anon:
At least I’ve never said worse. That’s an endearment in my book.
This ‘Anon’ was me – yet again!
Raybeard:
I thought it might be but wasn’t quite sure. I’m glad you’re not anonymous.
Maurice was pretty upset by that audio. She jumped up on the table by my laptop and looked around everywhere to find the cat who had so boldly invaded her space. She’s still on the lookout.
You are a better man than me (well, obviously) to respond to being woken in the deepest part of the night.
Ms. Moon, Mother of Maurice
Ms. Moon:
And you are a better woman than I, Mother of Maurice. I don’t take well to being attacked. SG played it without considering Moose’s reaction. Similar reaction, although he may have recognized himself and was really confused.
Oops! I missed a few posts because I was happily entertaining my visiting sisters, niece, and two little great nieces (4 and almost 7). We had a great visit!
I love those new glasses! We need to send Walt to your ophthalmologist to get a correct prescription 🙂
Judy C:
Oh what a wonderful reason to miss a few post. 4 and 7, I think, are great ages. I hope Walt’s next pair are what he expects. Mine are fine.
Nessum dorma!
Urspo:
THAT’s what he’s singing! It always sounds familiar.
Max used to do that “ow” meow but not in the middle of the night!
Bob:
Moose often sounds like he’s yelling Hello (over and over again)! (really, HEH-WHOA!)
