Hello
I am new here so please be gentle, I am yet to read all of the wisdom and experience on these boards.
I recently- 4 weeks ago, got a kitten- a little black ball of adorableness.
Her name is Midnight.
She is currently 11 weeks old- I got her at 7 weeks because all of her litter mates were gone and the older cats in her old family were bullying her.
She has adjusted wonderfully to my flat, eats well, almost doubled in size and is litter trained.
She is very sweet and adorable, and like all kittens likes to rough house.
And that's OK , I love spending time with her and playing with her.
The problem I have is that I am a very light sleeper- I wake up during the night repeatedly and so does she, and at some point she feels the need to wake up and play around 3 AM.
I can pet her back to sleep most of the times, but I wonder if there is any way to change her sleeping pattern a bit, I am exhausted and it's affecting my work.
Unfortunately my flat is a studio, so I cannot put her in another room. And locking her in the kitchen seems cruel.
Please help
