Cats care only about themselves, so if you’re trying to get to sleep, you can expect your cat to wake you up in the middle of the night for no reason. If this behavior bothers you, you’re not alone because cats tend to do this with nearly all of their owners.

Part of the problem is that cats don’t have a schedule so they figure you don’t have one either. Cats may also be hungry so they realize you’re in charge of the food, so get up in the middle of the night to feed them. After all, who’s more important, the cat or you?
