I adopted 2 kittens a month ago: Scarlet and Sapphire. They are 8 weeks old when I adopted them and they are 13 weeks old now. They are not biological sisters, but they are very close and bonded like sisters. The animal shelter prefers both of them get adopted together; so I adopted both of them. The first week I adopted them,I put them in an isolated room with food, water, and plenty of toys to play with. They are very quiet at first and they hide in the cat cave/bed most of the time, only come out to eat or use litter box. After the first week, they started exploring the room and play with the cat toys. Starting in the third week, they will leave the room for a few minutes and explore other area of the house before heading back to the room. Both kittens are very well behaved and quiet for the first 3 weeks;they spend most of the time sleeping or playing with cat toys. However their behavior started to change in the fourth week, they are now hyper active and full of energy. Constantly chasing each other/ fight each other, jumping up and down, knocking down everything they can. They rarely sleep now, they are full of energy both during the day and night; I can not go to sleep now without being waken up with loud noises. If I try to lock them in their room at night so I can sleep, they will torture me with their sad meowing. I thought cats are supposed to sleep most of the day, what can I do to make them less active?
