How can I keep Cupid from jumping on my face and head at night? He's scratching me up! Luckily he hasn't clawed my face yet, but it's only a matter of time. I tried sleeping with my head under the blnkets but I can't sleep like that.

He's not scratching on purpose, he's just trying to get up. I like for him to be able to sleep with me, but I don't like laying there worrying b/c I know he's going to jump up any second!


I had to put him in his room last night b/c he was playing and kept jumping up and down. He won't jump up at the bottom either. Just where my head is.

I had a kitty like this once. I ended up sleeping with a towel draped over my forehead, covering my eyes and leaving my nose and mouth exposed. She liked to run over the top of my head while I slept. Then I read in a book about how one person slept with a kid's whistle and everytime the cat would run over the top of the head, the person blew one short (and she means really short) blast of the whistle startling the cat. After two nights, the cat stopped the attacks which made everyone glad.

Awwwwwwww, poor Cupid, he just wants to be close to his mum!

You should see the state of my ankles with Rosie!. She has a thing for chasing bare feet, especially on an evening. The pair of us are running around the bedroom, her pouncing, me screaming!!!

Poor little Cupid. How about sleeping the other way round - you know with your head at the end where your feet were etc. This might confuse him enough to stop him!

Last night I put him down everytime he jumped on my head, and after about 10 times, he started jumping up at the bottom!
