Hello, everyone!
So here's the thing. I have two, two year old kitties, Miles and Freddie, and they are my sweet babies. They are super lovely kitties even though a little hyper, but it's okay, they are young and playful. I've been having a big problem for the past few months though...
Miles meows so much at night. He doesn't meow randomly, he meows at my brother's door. He does this sometimes during the day so that my brother will open, but in the middle of the night it's not that great. I adore my baby but he's making me lose so much sleep. My bedroom is next to my brother's, and I don't shut my door because I want my two kitties to be able to come in and out as they please, especially when they decide to sleep in bed with me, so closing my door is not an option. There are certain doors, the ones we always keep open, that he doesn't like when they are closed. The doors that are always closed he doesn't mind, but my brother's bedroom door is always closed too, yet he does mind that one. He also bites on them when he doesn't like that they are closed, especially my brother's even though, again, that one is never open anyway.
I play with the two of them every day, and I read a suggestion saying I should play with them before bedtime so perhaps they will be tired and Miles won't go and meow his lungs out when we're trying to sleep. It hasn't worked at all. I've also covered the bottom of my brother's door in Feliway, especially the parts he bites, and he still doesn't care. I really don't know what to do at this point. I know every night will be a sleepless one now and it's very unnerving. I don't want to be mean and sprinkle some water on him but I've had to do it a couple of times in order for him to stop with the meowing, and to be honest it hasn't worked that much. I really don't want to keep doing it but I have no idea what else I can do. Any suggestions?
Thank you!
