Hi,
I apopted two male kittens last week. I adore them and their quirks, but I find that I am not getting very much sleep. One of the kittens sleeps pretty much through the night under the bed. He is less cuddly, so he likes to sleep alone. He wakes me up at about 4:30 A.M. when he starts racing up and down the hallways at 75 MPH. I don't have a problem with him.
His brother is my little cuddle buddy, which I love most of the time. He lays on my chest, and under my chin, which would be fine, but every minute or so he gets up and changes position. I pet him and he purrs, but when I start to dose off he bites my nose and my lips. It's funny at first, but this goes on for hours (all night long). Eventually he will lay down and sleep next to me for about an hour and then the two of them are up and attacking each other. I end up with about an hour and a half of sleep.
I have tried to put them out several times. I give them free roam of the house. I shut my bedroom door and try to go back to sleep but a second later they are scratching on my door. I know they just want to be with me, but I need to sleep too.
Any suggestions?
