Answer: The cat is not predominantly a nocturnal animal but two impotent activities do frequently take place at night, namely hunting and mating.
In case of hunting, this is so because the small mammals which the cat is best adopted to catch, e.g. mice, are usually themselves must active in the hoarse of darkness. Mating almost always takes place at night because cats dislike being observed, and are inhabited, particularly in towns, by the day time noise and bustle. The cats are able to performed these activities are very effectively at night because it is able to rely much more then ourselves on its well- developed senses of small and touch for information and communication, as well as excellent twilight vision.
Cat owners know that cats frequently ask to go out at night, particularly a female that is on heat, or a tom cat that know there are females on heat in the neighborhood. This was the organ of organ of owners ‘putting out the cat’ and then looking the door just prior to going to bed in order to avoid being disturbed later. However, this routine is not recommended because the cat may be shut out in very cold or vet whether with disastrous effect on its health. Much better is to fit a cat door which permits the cat to come and go as it pleases. If necessary, the cat door can always be bolted shut to privet this free entry and exit.
