Well, I decided to kick her out two nights ago. I let her sleep nicely on my pillow and then when she starts clawing at me, I take her out and close the door. She does claw at the bottom of the door and meow loudly but it's at least a little bit more sleep for me. This morning, though, she did...

I have seriously considered getting her a friend, more of a younger kitten if anything. She'll be 2 this month and she still has a lot of kitten energy in her. I just don't know how I feel about having another cat that may potentially have more destructive traits than her. I know that sounds...

Hi all again, to summarize your suggestions, I do have quiet toys for her to play with at night but she gets bored with them. I suppose it's because I intend for them to be nightly routines but they go missing and she finds them during the day. I do have a little enclosed bed that I moved to my...

I've tried splitting her breakfast intervals; she'll get an 1/8th cup at 5 and an 1/8th at 7 cause well, initially 5AM was her wake up call and 7AM was my schedule. I have been told to try this with her dinner, too. So maybe I will feed her some at 7pm and then feed the remainder, say, at 10pm...

She used to wake me up a little before it was time for breakfast and I eventually learned to live with that. In fact, getting up early and getting stuff done was kinda nice! But now I'm considering this all-nighter behavior to be quite obsessive. I have locked her out of my bedroom once and I...

Hi all, I've been on here a few times in regards to trying to break my cat's middle-of-the-night habits. She's stopped climbing curtains and clawing up my bed frame. Great, right? Not so. She has finally recognized when bedtime means sleep time; I sleep on multiple pillows and she camps out...

LTS3, you are correct, I do use those clips from Ikea because I have those awful plastic panel curtains in my apartment and there's no way I can remove the mechanism to get a curtain rod installed. So I just removed the panels and clipped these babies on. Very innovative! At least I don't have...

Thanks guys for the responses. I think I am coming to terms that I may just be a bad cat mom. :( I remind myself that she needs to be played with more, and that I need to set time somewhere in my busy schedule to give her that attention because snuggles are not enough. She does have plenty of...

Hey all, I have an issue that I desperately need fixing so I can get some sleep at night. My 1 1/2 year old cat is really, really good at keeping me awake at night. She gets into things she normally wouldn't get into during the day, because she knows it's making me mad and I'll wake up and give...
