Put my cat in a crate at nighttime

Does the cat sleep in the same room with you? Maybe you should let them roam the house instead, or maybe turn on the radio before sleepin to help the cat not wake you up when they are in your room

They’re supposed to be active at night, you can’t punish her for it. Let her outside.

I strongly advise against letting your cat out of the house. Not only are roaming cats at risk of being struck by vehicles or getting into fights with other animals, they are notorious for digging through people’s gardens and garbage cans. If you don’t want your cat killed, whether by another animal or a fed-up neighbour lacing their garbage cans with rat poison, you’ll do the right thing and keep your cat inside, where it’s safe.

^ Agree 100%! After my three have dinner, they stay inside.

I decided to let her do as she pleases and she usually sleeps beside me at night anyways.I don’t have a cage and now I see that I don’t wanna do that to her it might traumatize her in the long run

That’s cool. Hope it worked out, which it sounds like it did :-):-)
