10 Easy Things You Can Do For Your Cat to Manage Bedtime Zoomies 

Top 10 Ways to Tame Bedtime Zoomies

1. Tire Them Out During the Day:

A tired cat is a calm cat! Ensure your feline friend gets plenty of playtime throughout the day. Interactive toys, puzzle feeders, and climbing structures can help burn off excess energy.

2. Create a Relaxing Bedtime Routine:

Establish a consistent bedtime routine to signal to your cat that it's time to wind down. This could include a quiet playtime session, a gentle brushing, or a calming treat.

3. Provide a Cozy Sleep Spot:

A comfortable and secure sleeping spot can encourage relaxation. Consider a cozy cat bed, a soft blanket, or a quiet corner.

4. Limit Stimuli Before Bed:

Reduce distractions in the evening. Turn off bright lights, loud noises, and avoid excessive interaction.

5. Consult Your Veterinarian:

If your cat's zoomies are excessive or disruptive, consult your veterinarian to rule out any underlying health issues. They may recommend additional strategies or treatments.

6. Play It Out Before Bed

Tire your cat out with a 15-20 minute interactive play session an hour before bedtime. Use a wand toy, laser pointer, or catnip mouse to help them burn off that extra energy, leaving them ready to snooze instead of zoom.

7. Feed Them Before You Sleep

A light meal before bed can work wonders. Cats are natural hunters and tend to rest after eating, so a small portion of wet food or kibble might be the key to a quiet night.

8. Create a Zoomie Zone

Designate a play area with toys, scratching posts, and tunnels. If your cat needs to let loose, they’ll gravitate toward their fun zone, keeping your bedroom zoomie-free.

9. Offer Late-Night Comfort

Set up a cozy, warm bed or perch near your bedroom (but not on your bed). A heated pad or blanket can entice your cat to snuggle up and settle down.

10. Stay Calm and Consistent

If zoomies strike, resist the urge to scold or chase them—it can encourage more playfulness. Instead, keep the lights low and ignore their antics. They’ll learn nighttime isn’t playtime!

Lovingly, you can teach your kitty that going to bed is a great thing.

If you're dealing with #catzoomies, you are definitely not alone!

These crazy bursts of energy can turn any calm moment into chaos and transform your peaceful nighttime routine into madness and a nightmare. Follow these suggestions and try to tame those bedtime zoomies before they become a habit harder to change!
