Re: Not so cute at 3am!


Mine sleep where they chose too, at the moment the favourite place is the kitchen floor - as its terracotta tiles they stay very cool.

but they usually sleep in the bedroom, and while I only sleep a maximum of 5 hours usually, some points during that time hurricanes can pass, earthquakes can fracture the building I'm in and.....kittens can draw blood chewing my fingers (I say kittens - it could be cats)!!

Its happened about 6 times now - I'm not sure if I should be worried

Re: Not so cute at 3am!


Mine were "trained" about bedroom behaviour quite simply: if they are quiet and still they can stay on the bed. The minute they start bouncing, they get the boot! - I just push them gently off the bed with whichever hand or foot is nearest. And no toys in the bedroom - I have a laminate floor and can't cope with little claws skittering around at 2 am!

They soon learned

In nearly 12 years, still haven't managed to persuade Jenny that the pillow is OFF LIMITS though - always have to move her before she settles for the night.

What is cute in a kitten can get a bit boring or even painful in an adult cat. My girls are spoiled in some ways - but well-disciplined in others: they don't make a habit of begging for food off my plate (they do occasionally, but I *never* give in). Start as you mean to go on and be consistent - even if it does feel a bit hard-hearted, you'll get far more pleasure out of your babies in the long run.

Well I cheated last night and took a tamazepan - so I have no idea what the kittens got up to, but I slept right through it! Bliss

Awww bless those little kitties, mine have ventured upstairs during the day, but as yet not at night - Violet tends to sleep on my bed, and Mau Mau at the top of the stairs x
