Dear All,
I am having the worst time as my younger cat Soleil (almost 2 yrs) won't let me sleep at night!
She hates being locked out from the bedrooms so I leave the door open just so she can get in and out although I rather sleep without the cats as I have been having bad sinus problems for 1.5 yrs now (with 2 OPs already).
If I leave the door closed she will not only meow non-stop (and I mean non-stop!) but also scratch the door and jump up to the knob (she's a smart one). So whenever I go to bed and she starts her little tantrum, I will open the door a bit for her. Previously, she would then just come in and roam around and perhaps bring her toy into bed to play (which is also quite annoying), but no more than that.
Since we moved to our new apartment she just won't stop talking though. I open the door, she comes inside. She'll sit next to the bed and talk talk talk. NON-STOP!!!
Last night she started when I went to bed and continued for abt 2 hours (fair enough she takes 15 min breaks for me to dose off before she wakes me with her stupid stories). Then at 5 am she starts again. I was about to kick her out of the house! (I'm just saying that! I love her dearly, but I'm really upset with her behvior). I am really tired!
I wish I could let her out of the house though, coz she is of that nature that she needs to keep herself busy else she gets bored (hence the endless stories she tells me at night). But unfortuntely, we have 6 or more street cats living in the near neighborhood and I'm afraid she will get into fights and/or catch some kind of disease as she has been an indoor cat after her first 5 weeks of life.
I seriously need some advice! I tried playing with her before I go to bed, but although she used to play fetch with me in the old house and I could tire her out that way, she just won't react to it that much anymore.
My colleagues are already questioning me why I look so tired everyday! Please help!
