This Guy Set Up A Hidden Camera To Catch What His Cat Does During The Night, And The Footage Is Hilarious

Cats are super weird. And I mean, SUPER. WEIRD. As a well-established lover of all animals, it’s okay for me to say it because I say it fondly. Not to mention, if you’re a cat owner yourself, you’ll know that what I’m saying is 100% absolutely true.

And luckily for us, a cat owner in Thailand has caught the proof of this one tape.

It’s no secret to anyone out there that one of the favorite things for cats to do is to lounge around. They take ‘cat naps’ all throughout the day, and they can sleep from anything between 12 to 16 hours (LUCKY THINGS, am I right?)… but, if they sleep so much during the day, what does that leave them to do at night?

Well, you may not know this, but as it turns out, cats are actually nocturnal animals. Did you know that? Because I sure didn’t. I mean, yes, they do adjust their sleep patterns a teeny bit to match those of their own owners, but alas, what they most enjoy doing during nighttime, is to come out and play!

Well, as I mentioned before, there’s a cat owner in Thailand who wanted to know exactly what kind of shenanigans his pet was actually getting into during the night while he was sleeping soundly, and so he set up a camera in order to record his pet while he was fast asleep. As you can probably imagine, he ended up catching some pretty hilarious animal activity… while his four-legged furry companion loyally watches over his slumbering body.

Scroll down to hear the full story of what he found below…

This cat owner in Bangkok, Thailand set-up cameras to watch his cat at night

This is Facebook user Lomphonten Lomphontan (yep, a bit of a mouthful). He recently uploaded a number of nighttime cam shots he took of his own cat watching over him while he slept, to the popular Thai Facebook group ‘Cat Lovers Club.’ 

As you can see, he was certainly able to catch some pretty “purr-fect” (sorry, not sorry) shots. Also, they’d absolutely hilarious.

You see, cat’s are descendants of the African wildcat – which are mostly nocturnal animals. However, the domestication of cats over the centuries has indeed made their activity patterns a lot more dinural (aka, they’s mostly awake during the day time) just like ours. Despite this fact, most cats will still wake up at least twice during the night, if not more… as you can very clearly see with these images.

And as it turns out, this particular Facebook user isn’t the only ‘curious cat’ (nope, I’m not gonna stop with these puns) who wanted to know what exactly it is felines get up to at night. Researchers at the University of Georgia went ahead and placed small cameras on 55 cats within the Atlanta area, and then they studied more than 37 hours of footage in order to identify any trends that may be there.

Just like their ancestors, around 44% of these outdoor cats hunted for their own wildlife, and even more so 85% of these captures occurred during the warmer seasons.

Whether they are indoor cats or outdoor cats, you’ve probably heard the felines make the most noise during the night with yowling sounds, am I right? I know I freakin’ hear them constantly outside my bloomin’ window!

Alas, these cries can be due to a number of reasons, such as: old age, stress, medical problems or even just plain boredom (this happens especially in indoor cats that didn’t have enough play time… so play with your darn cats!).

So, in other words, if your cat is constantly disrupting your sleep at night there are several different suggestions. It’s pretty simple, really, just like you would with restless kids, in order to tire your cat out closer to the evening you should do so with play sessions. You can also try feeding your cat before bedtime, as just like their Lion ancestors, they usually tend to sleep after a big ole’ meal.

It is also important to note that even though your cat truly loves you, they can unintentionally inure you at night. A cat may also notice your eye moving underneath your eyelid (I know, absolutely CRAZY) and try to swat at it in a somewhat playful move. Sadly, it may actually be best for you to lock them out of your bedroom at least for a more peaceful night’s rest if you truly need it.

Either way, these images have absolutely cracked me UP. They’re so hilarious and adorable and must answer a lot of questions for this particular cat owner, and maybe many many others out there too. Thanks for sharing!

Do you have a cat of your own and ever experienced anything like this before? Do you think cats should be indoor or outdoor pets? Let me know in the comments and don’t forget to share this with your friends, family, and other fellow cats lover too!
