I have three cats, two of them being kittens around 7 months old. One of them, Copper, likes to come into my bed at night. Mostly this is fine and he just lays on or next to me, but one behavior in particular is annoying and painful - he likes to "dig" in the bed sheets, particularly around my legs and feet. Apart from the fact that decent bed sheets are expensive and I don't want them clawed up, it can lead to quite painful scratches to my legs and feet when the small layer of fabric fails to protect my skin from his claws.
He doesn't really react much to either a verbal "no" or a hiss; at best he'll stop for a moment and resume immediately. I'm not really looking to keep him out of the bed entirely - he's usually fine - but I do want him to not use claws on my sheets. Any thoughts? I've been trying to increase play time / intensity to wear him out more and bring his energy down a notch but he's a kitten.
