Many of the most important things I've learned in life are from cats and the people who help me care for them. Those are valuable relationships and i would not trade them. Cats are intelligent beings, more so than they've been given credit for. They are quite social and socialist animals. By socialist I mean they have the system down. "Take me in oh pretty human. Feed me, clothe me, keep me safe. I'll cherish you forever if you treat me right." In return for what they take they will give. They are there to comfort when humans aren't. I laugh every day in a good way at the silly feral that moved into my apartment this past winter. He didn't want to die and decided we had a trust, barely on a string, but we have one. He's elderly now and has been on a "death" watch by the neighbors and me the past two winters. He doesn't fare them well outside. I guess this winter it got so cold he chose survival. I won't argue with the way of cats. I've found them to know much more than I do. And problems oh I understand those. I've had plenty. But the kitties again gave that comfort when no one else was there. Maybe that's all they want to do ... give you comfort. Let them.
Oh they typically are. And mostly my female snuggles at night. But the boy cat goes to the door, grabs the doorknob and screams. And I spray him with a water bottle. And he does it again 5 minutes later. Repeat for 2 hours. I kept encouraging him to just come back in bed and snuggle, and he would do that for 30 seconds and go back to trying to escape :/

I’m aware they need attention, they are the center of my universe. I play with them all night when I’m home. Life is hard right now and I’m doing what I can so I can still have them. They’ve already upgraded- they had to spend three months in separate dog crates and only got to come out to play a few times a week.

However, back when people were home all the time and they had free roam of the house they were still assholes at night. My ex and I locked them out of the bedroom at night because of this exact situation. I just don’t have that luxury now.

My husband's cat roams all night. And she gets tons of attention, lol. Now my cat sleeps by my side all night. idk maybe it's their ages. Mine is 12 and his is 8.

He’s been neutered since 6 months 5.5 years ago lol. It hasn’t stopped him.
he's got his ear and nose onto something apparently. he might be a good hunter and wants to bring you some mice. I have one female that roams at night and has herself set up in the kitchen. i clean counters, etc, often. She perches on the stove where the gas light make it warm and waits for whatever might come by. The LL does good with exterminating and she cleans up the rest. If she sees something she gets excited and meows. Of course I find a good supply of catnip also helps to calm them down for a bit if they enjoy it. Some don't. And if they are hungry or their food runs low they cry at night. I keep food in their bowels constantly and if that gets low i guess it reminds them of the streets. So I will get woken up at night with a cat or two in my face if that happens. overall i'm sure i disturb them more than they me.

He’s still afraid of the outside the bedroom and wants to explore when everyone is asleep. When I’m home and the door is open he stays on the bed. Mine don’t free feed - he can’t eat kibble it makes him sick, and the girl would weight 100lbs lol. One day I’ll live in my own place and they can roam at night. Now if I can survive until then....

I will be quiet after this. a friend took a street cat, Nikita, that I've been feeding. Nikki is around seven. My friend took her in this year with the cold cold winter. Others have tried to take Nikki in but she wouldn't have it. I got a report on how the cat is doing last night. She's turned into a lap cat and will cling to my friend when she gets home from work. Then settle down and sleep in her lap. She said that Nikki has been staying in a certain part of her apt while all of the cats are getting used to each other. The other day Nikki had had enough. She gets her turn exercising through the apt but then has a large area of her own to stay in. She escaped that area and my friend said she flew through the apartment about fifteen times saying cat hello to the other cats. My friend thinks it's time to integrate everyone.
