Hi, Gizzy is probably trying to get your sister’s attention throughout the night when cats are more active by nature. I think a good idea would be to ignore Gizzy, even if this might imply having him locked out of the room. There are feeding bowls that can be set to deliver food at certain times, so perhaps this could be arranged so that Gizzy learns that food is delivered independently from your sister and might redirect his interest. Hope this helps !
