She starts shouting at 5am and wakes the whole house, children included.

What UK cat owners say online (paraphrased from public forum threads)
Why it happens
Cats are naturally most active around dawn and dusk. A flat has no mice, so the energy goes into your hallway.
In the wild a cat hunts, catches, eats and sleeps. Indoors, many cats never get the first two, and the day ends with energy to burn.
If a loud meow or a pounce has ever led to breakfast, a cuddle or even a cross word, the cat learns that 5am pays.

Questions
Often it is the movement, not the toy. The plan shows how to move a wand like prey and how to rotate toys, and the box and e-book help you do that. If your cat still ignores it after 30 days, our promise applies.
Orders ship within 5 working days, with tracking. Your illustrated e-book arrives by email as soon as you order, so you can start the routine the same day.
No. The starter kit is a one-off purchase. Nothing renews. Things that really run out, like scratch refills, are in the Refill Club.
If your cat ignores your kit or box after 30 days, we refund it or swap it for a different problem box. You keep the toys.
Each item has a safety note on this page. String and feathers should be used with you watching and put away afterwards. If you ever see loose parts, stop using the toy.
