My vet told me to ignore my cat's 3am zoomies and it actually worked

She said responding just teaches them that waking you up gets attention. After a week of pretending to be asleep, he stopped sprinting across my bed. Has anyone else tried this with a night-time maniac?

Lmao my cat would just start knocking stuff off the nightstand when I tried that. The silent treatment lasted two nights before I caved. Your cat must be way more polite than my little furry terrorist.

My neighbor's cat broke three picture frames for the same reason.

Have you tried putting away anything they could knock over? I had to clear my nightstand completely for a week, and my cat got bored of the protest. It felt silly living in a bare room, but it actually worked!
