He's just over 1 year old and a lovely friendly guy the only problem I have with my cat is he wakes us at 5ish every morning, he wants food and attention at this time. It wasn't so bad until the light mornings came in before then he was about half 6/7 when dp got up for work, the main issue is not just waking us up if we don't respond he goes to wake ds (4) up by scratching and meowing at his door. Also we are having a new baby in Aug I can't have him waking the baby during the night.
We live in a top floor flat, have tried to let him out to burn off energy but he hates the close its an old stone one so cold and echoy plus we have 3 other cats in the block so that might put him off. If we carry him to the garden he wont go more than a few feet from the door and wants back in straight away.
Can anyone suggest anything except ignoring him it's not an option since it wakes ds up. (he never damages anything scratching and has toys &scratch posts)
