Hi -- Behavioral Issues on my hands (2 Cats)
My wife and I are at our wits end. We love our cats, but we also love getting more than 5 hours of sleep.
We have two grown cats aged about 5 years and 8 years and since our daughter was born they haven't been letting us sleep in the morning.
Over the past three weeks I've managed to sequester the cats overnight, but we just got back from a week long trip and it is getting harder to get the cats into the room, equipped with plenty of food and litter, for the night (11PM - 6AM).
Our younger cat Luna is motivated by food and it has been relatively easy to coax her into the room, however our older and smarter cat Keira.
Currently they are being fed twice a day once between (5 and 7AM) and next at about 5PM and 7PM with a snack to coax them into the room at 11PM.
Any tips on how we can change our behavior to get some sleep?
