OK, I know this sounds cute, and IT IS, but sometimes I’d love to get some sleep
So here’s the story: I recently rescued 2 cats (maybe someone remembers Milù from a thread 2-3 months ago?) and they surprisingly got along very well. I feed them regularly throughout the day, given I work from home; let them roam outside as they please; give them lots of attention and affection throughout the day; and it’s all fine.
The boy, however, is extremely vocal: sees me with (human) food? Sees me with cat food? Sees me walk into or out of whatever room? Meows and brushes up against my legs.
Since the beginning he’s also been very affectionate, to the point its ridiculous especially any time I lay down. Especially at night.
I know sometimes he does it for attention (food, or he wants to go out), but at the night he literally loves snuggling right close to me, lays down next to my chest with his paws on my arm and his face almost ONTO mine. He will stare at me, or close his eyes while purring his life away, or start poking my face as if it were some sort of kissing. And sometimes he keeps walking up and down brushing up against my body and face with the same manners, all while purring.

The poking at night is a little draining ‘cause I can’t get enough sleep (and my bf will probably dump me ). Any ideas why he does this every single night and what I can do to make it a little easier on us humans?
PS. I also try to keep him in bed with me for cuddle time when I go to bed to prevent him to meow like a nutcase from 10 pm to 5 am.
