They do. I have cats and worked on giving them active periods in the day so they would quit waking me up all night. They were grumpy lil buggers for a bit. They now have settled into getting up midday for a playfest that keeps them from reigning chaos through the night.

What did you do for the active periods?
Get out toys and treats and play. I'm a crazy cat lady too, so I have a stroller to go on walks in, harnesses to go out in the yard with. At first they would fall over, just lay in the grass, had to throw treats on their head to get em moving. Starting younger helps, no bad habits to fix.
I did something similar, and would play with them. Pick them up and give them snuggles, then play.
Granted sometimes I ended up napping with the cat during snuggles, so use that at your own risk. Though cuddly cat naps are their own reward I would argue.
Related - My dog is reactive to begin with. When she gets tired, usually around 9pm, she can be very aggressive. Figured out that putting a blanket over her and leaving her alone keeps everyone sane.
Definitely. My current tomcat is a total diva and if I dare to wake him up during his midday nap, he will sulk for up to an hour... which I can't help but find funny because he also wants that I know that he is cranky, so he follows me everywhere to make sure that I notice just how hard he is ignoring me. ("Hey human, look at me while I'm giving you the cold shoulder!") ...it's unvoluntarily adorable.
I've also had pets that legit didn't care tho. Different pets, different personalities.
I also would like to know the answer to this. Any brave soul volunteering to keep their cat up for 24 hours to find out?
My dog does. He also gets really annoyed if the lights are on past his bedtime.
Ive definetly gotten side eye from cats and dogs that ive woken up mid nap. Normally they get over it pretty quick though, especially if im giving them treats or pets lol
Yes!!! Temptations are like crack for my kitties. 🤣
Yes, my dog will be grumpy if he doesn't get a good night's sleep.
