My Cat : Mimi [Problem Scenario]

 

This is my cat, Mimi

She's cute but we have some problems....

She sneaks into my room and bites me in the middle of the night, thus waking me up. This results in me losing sleep.[Reality]. I need her to stop waking me up in the middle of the night. [Ideal]. After being the victim of her recent 'attacks', I have made a few notable observations. Mimi is VERY energetic at night, my door is often LEFT OPEN thus allowing her to sneak in and lastly, she's BORED. [Causes/Conditions] Thus, giving her the opportunity to wake me up in the wee hours of the night. 

Plans to stop her nightly tirade:

I've researched on the internet and looking through threads and advices regarding cat care. This is the advices that I have found. [Possible change] 

• Playing with her before bed.
• Have her dinner later into the night 
• Closing the door whenever I sleep

What I did:

I wished to not close my door as it is the only ventilation in the room. Furthermore, her dinner has always been 9P.M so pushing her any dinner further back might disrupt her eating schedule. Therefore, playing with her before she and I head to bed would be the most viable. [Testing the Hypothesis]

Results

It worked! She has stopped waking me during the night and has stopped her biting sprees. She's back to being cute again.
