And if she’s not sleeping, like hell she’s going to let anyone else sleep.
The little kitten finally learned how to climb and jump. One of the places she is now jumping to… on the bed. Last night, every five minutes, without failure, she’d leap on the bed while I was trying to sleep. She stole one of my socks, attacked my legs and arms, and pawed at my face.
So when I was awake (as I was much of the night) at 6:14, waiting for the alarm to go off in one minute, I was very tired. I stumbled through my morning routine and out the door. And the truly ironic thing is I’ll bet the first thing she did was go to sleep when I left.
Zel-kun out.

We could do one of two things this weekend:
1) We play with her all day long Saturday and Sunday so she’s exhausted and then actually SLEEPS through the night and hopefully she’ll get used to that schedule … or…
2) We let her sleep Saturday and Sunday … and wake her up every 10 minutes and see how SHE likes it.
=P
I’m a meanie, I know!

This will last about 3 months. Welcome to parenthood. After that, she’ll mostly just try to play when you’re going to sleep, but will eventually calm down and sleep (mostly) all night up on the bed with you.

You sleep in socks?

Scout would steal all of David’s dress socks and hide them - seemingly so he couldn’t go to work.
She also did not sleep for the first few months. Cats are funny and nocturnal like that. We gave her the bathroom to play in, but she got too big for that, so then we gave up the extra bedroom. My aunt, who has raised somewhere in the neighborhood of two dozen cats usually does the same thing.
Chelsea was much more well behaved and was content to sleep on David’s stomach.
