I have three cats, two boys and one girl. I live in a hot country and they're all content sleeping outside at night however it's just turned cooler so temperatures have plummeted to 18c 🙄 And there's been some rain which they're understandably angry about (even though they have a huge sheltered patio with comfy sofas). So now the boys are sneaking in at bedtime, cosy up on the blankets and won't be shifted - fine!

They have free access to the whole house, a litter tray and a bowl of snacks. But come 4am, it's like a bloody nightclub. I've had to get up and fling the pair of them out and then I can't get back to sleep 🤬 Girlcat is smug and happy but then lies across my face and I get hot flushes 🥵

I wouldn't mind if they waited until 5am as I get up early but they rob me of that last hour of sleep 😭

Ha ha you have my sympathy, I have one cat but he can sound like a herd of effalumps .

I stupidly left a set of step ladders out a few days ago and at about 3 am he decided this was his new launch pad .
So he runs up them ( about 4.5 foot) and flings himself off yelling at the top of his voice. .

Also adding a Greek cat photo from my holiday last month. I was having my photo taken by a church and this gorgeous ginger cat strolled up and started miaowing at me. Who doesn't love a shouty Greek photobombing cat 😺 🤩
