Re: Is there anything we can do?


If he is genuinely hungry and not just wanting attention what about one of those timer feeders. Time it to open around the time you get woken up. No idea if this would work but a friend has a dog with IBS and he would wake her up most nights, this worked for him and his condition has improved a bit too.

I know it's a different health issue but you never know.

I do think sometimes he is attention seeking and wanting us to fuss him as sometimes when he wakes us il sort of roll him over next to me and fuss him for a little while and he will fall asleep-other times i do that the second i stop fussing him he jumps back up crying for his food That is definately a good idea with the timer feeder, i guess the only problem then would be the other two eating it!

You know the wierd thing? AJ slept through the night again last night. I swear he has been on here reading this thread AJ doesnt always get on the bed to sleep like the other two, he usually goes under it. The last 2 nights he has got comfy on the bed with us after lights out and has stayed there until the alarm goes off-maybe thats the trick? getting him settled on the bed with us! Now how can we get him to do that every night?

Re: Is there anything we can do?


about cat flaps as were suggested and you said your cats arent used to wearing collars - there are cat flaps that read the cats microchip, so they don't have to wear collars.

I don't know if you have aleady solved the problem but anyhow i just thought I would let you know
