Help, my #cat has become a nightmare! I moved to a new apt 1 month ago & for the past 2 weeks every fucking night btw 3-5am my cat gets up on her hind legs and scratches incessantly on walls, doors, corners - mostly in my bedroom. I've tried yelling at her, clapping my hands, spraying her with water (shuts her up for a whole 5 mins while she licks herself dry) No matter what I do she doesn't stop for hours until she is ready to stop.

I've tried playing with her before bedtime to expend her energy but it doesn't help. I don't know what else to do. It is the WORST noise for my sensory issues and the fact that nothing I do will make her stop, causes such intense anger that my heart starts pounding, adrenaline pumping and I can't fall back asleep. I worry that she is disturbing my neighbors (or I am disturbing them with my stomping around & yelling at 3:30am!). I don't understand why she has suddenly started doing this. Help!

Of course now that it's 6am she is sleeping soundly next to me while I am wide awake, exhausted and seething with anger over the situation.
