Why Cats Cry at Night
While you are fast asleep, your cat is usually prowling around the house. They are far more active at night which is usually not a problem, until they start wailing loudly and wake you up.
These wails occur when a cat is trying to catch prey inside the house. If they cannot find any mice or insects to leap on, they might cry out of frustration.

There isn’t much you can do to stop this wailing other than play with your cat during the day so it gets tired out at night and sleeps when you do.
