Hi everyone,
So our elderly cat Simon, who used to get in bed with us and sleep all night long, has been keeping us (well, mostly my partner) up for the last several months, and it's making life tiring, to say the least. Simon just walks around the bed all night, headbutting us, touching our faces, meowing, wanting to talk, wanting treats--you know the routine.
He has his own little cat bed that we got for him when he had his surgery, and he spent all his time there (at least during the day), and when he recovered, started this whole nighttime circus all over again. Nowadays, he doesn't get in his bed at all.
My partner Kyle said that Simon woke him up at least seven times last night.
We thought about just closing the door, but he'll "knock" all night until we let him in, so I just don't have any ideas, other than trying to keep him awake all day in the hopes he'll sleep all night.
Does anyone have any ideas to save our sanity???? Please help!!
Thanks!
