    Cats are great, but they’re nocturnal. Many will skitter around, scratch stuff, scream, or otherwise bother the heck out of you when you are trying to sleep. I get so little sleep as it is, I’m not willing to deal with that again.

      Cats are crepuscular, meaning they’re more active at dawn and dusk, but they may be somewhat active at any hour if they have slept enough.

      That’s possible, too. My cat wasn’t like that but I know my friend’s cat is banned from the bedroom

      Huh, is it really that unusual for my cat to sleep through the night? She goes to bed around midnight and wakes up closer to dawn naturally, which tends to be a bit late this time of year. That’s around when she gets a first meal.

      6am I am sitting with my half-adopted stray by the heater cause I don’t have a cat door and he panics if he wants to leave and I’m not there to open the door

      It’s -1°C outside so I have to do this… until I get the right gear
