If the sudden behavioral change is recent, have Ricochet examined by your veterinarian to rule out injury or illness. Frequently, either can be the cause of such changes. If he has been an outdoor cat, consider letting him out earlier in the evening or day. Melatonin may help regulate his sleep patterns at night. You can discuss use with your veterinarian. https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/cat/melatonin/
