Our 1-year-old cat sprints across the flat at night and sits on our faces at 5 a.m.

Cats are crepuscular — most active at dawn and dusk. Tire her out in the evening with 10–15 minutes of real hunting play (a wand toy: stalk, pounce, catch), then give her a meal. A late snack makes a sleepy cat. In the morning, don't reward early wake-ups with food; feed at a fixed time you choose. A scratching post, a window perch and a puzzle feeder help her entertain herself while you sleep.
