To be honest this sounds like a terrible reason to give up your cat. If you can't be home much to entertain him make the house cat worthy so he can enjoy it when your not home. Give him some cat shelves plant some cat grass and use some automatic toys to play with when your not home.

First, buy this. My cats are all indoor cats only, and I worried about their sanity too. They LOVE this. They play with it so much. You can set a timer too, so it can go for a while and you can go to work without leaving it on ALL day.

You might just have a cat obsessed with you. One of my cats is IN LOVE with me and whenever she even hears me come home, won't stop meowing. She follows me everywhere and hates my husband for "taking up" her mommy time (we assume).

Try the toy, it might really help. Good luck!

Not eventually. ASAP. Getting a female cat fixed will make her life, and your life, much easier. Please get her fixed. I know it seems silly, but if there are unfixed males in your neighborhood, they will sense her hormones and will spray the outside of your house and that will drive your male cat crazy. Get her fixed. If the cost is an issue, check out helpful funding programs at your local shelter.

Why don't you intend to have them indoors forever? Indoor cats live for 12-20 years, where as outdoor cats live for about 3-5. It's safer to keep your cats indoors. Please reconsider making them outdoor cats.

Indoor entertainment, besides interactive toys, is you. How often and for how long each day do you play with your cats? They should get at least a 20-30 minute play session with you each day. Preferably before you feed them at night. I realize you said you work long hours, but you need to make time for your pets. Here are some good interactive toys: One, Two, Three.

The male is wandering around talking to himself because he is bored.

Maybe you could buy that automated toys and obly turn on in the mornings(like a treat, otherwise he'll get bored)

like this

We have a ball with a feather attached that rolls around and my cat is crazy for it but there are a lot options.

If nothing helps I guess thick socks and pants are a must, when I have them on and my cat do this, as soon as he realizes it doesn't get a reaction from us he stops

You could get your kitty something like this or this and you could have her middle name ohana (means family) which she would be to you

Is getting a second cat and shutting them out of your bedroom an option? Young cats in particular are often active at night - mine sometimes race up and down the stairs chasing each other in the middle of the night. Having two means they play with each other more.

Also, check out robot toys that you can leave for your cat to play with. Sounds like she's just playful and active at a normal time and just needs stuff she can play with - she has no concept of 'keeping you awake' and has no idea why you're spraying her and booting her out. From her perspective it's playtime and everything is a toy. This needs to be diverted so she can play alone, plus possibly a companion to play with.

Here are some toys mine get on well with (sorry its all Amazon links but the pet stores in our town are a rip off so I tend to shop online and am a creature of habit - you might find cheaper alternatives in your area/ from other retailers):

It is possible to rig these with switches your cat can learn to operate - I will make a separate post on how I did that at some point but essentially cat robot toys can be rigged with basic levers that your can can switch on, and if your cat watches you switch it on enough times they will try and do it too. For example for the SmartyKat Hot Pursuit Cat Toy I hotglued another toy (a rubber ball with a stalky bit sticking out) to the top of it and tied on a bit of string, so my cat can pull the string and it turns on the toy.

It doesn't help to wear them out a bit with a laser pointer before you go to bed either - young cats have a lot of energy to burn off so if you can tire them out a bit during the day they're more likely to be sleepy at night. Mine are about 2 and a half now and they are starting to be more sleepy at night, the romping around the house is getting a bit rarer. Hang in there :)

The one and only time I've ever seen a mountain lion in the wild, I was hunting yotes in Arizona setting up on a cat toy that would jumble around every once in a while (not the exact one I linked, but similar) and then I would make a distressed rabbit call. I was having a particularly bad day, not seeing anything and was getting up to move when something to my left moved suddenly. When my eyes finally figured it out there was a gorgeous mountain lion that had been stalking my toy, was easily in my field of vision, and yet I had no idea it was even there. She calmly slinked off into the brush without a sound when she saw me move.


I suppose you could try locating some tracks and then setting up a similar scenario with a predator call. I know that bobcats, foxes, yotes, and even raccoons, badgers, and bears will show up to one. I don't know if what happened to me was a fluke or if they also show up, but it may be worth a try.
