change of seasons (eating, appetite, kitty, aggressive)

[jayhawks91]

My cat has had a hard time with the change of seasons. He is hungrier, more aggressive {not mean...just feistier} and gets up really really early.

Does anyone else have this problem? Suggestions for helping us through it?

Ours is running around a bit more like a nut and getting up early. This all started after we set the clocks one hour back. Its the time change and cats are a creature of habit. They'll settle into the routine. Her appetite has remained the same.

Are yours indoor/outdoor cats? Or indoor only?

He is an indoor kitty with access to a screened in porch.

Mine really have not changed much. If anything they are being sleepier in the mornings when it is cool. Afternoon seems to be the running around time and always has been. Mine aren't eating more or less. Window time seems to be the same. But we haven't had a snap into the cold weather its been a gradual change and its been dry so no moisture to effect anything.

If anything, ours are waking up later in the morning. I woke up at 5:30 this morning, and they were just coming out of "their" room (our guest bedroom, with a daybed), stretching and yawning.

In the summer, they're banging on our bedroom door at 4 a.m.
