Question:
Regarding cat attacks at dawn: Our cat, Ivan, did the same thing until I started giving him a bowl of food when we went to bed. Evidently, he was just trying to tell us he was hungry. After all, they are nocturnal.

Answer:
Many people with cats who awaken them in the early hours have followed your common-sense solution. Cats like to take little snacks rather than two big meals a day. Most cats will self-regulate and not overeat. Those who do gorge should be provided with a dry-food dispenser so that they have to "work" to get a snack.
