Hey everyone!
I just got my new 9 week old kitten about 2 weeks back and she's been settling in nicely. We live in a multiple family household so me & my BF have a large bedroom to ourselves that also serves as our home office. My kitten is and will be kept in this bedroom where there is more than enough space for her to play and roam. I can't let her out of this room as the rest of the house has loads of windows and are mostly kept open for the benefit of others. I've gotten her a 3 tier cat tree that suits her size for now (she's still getting hang of the 3rd tier height) and she has 2 beds - one by her cat tree and another bed installed in the bookshelf's bottom which she loves to hide at. Both are dark and warm places.
The problem now is she keeps climbing into bed at night - not so much to sleep but to purr near our ears or catch our feet. I can't sleep because she purrs loudly or climbs onto us. I don't have the option to lock her out of the room either.
I've tried these but they didn't work:
- Using foil to scare her off
- water spray (she ended up enjoying it as long as it's not her face)
- putting her onto the floor each time
- saying no or clapping my hands
- playing with her before bedtime
None of the tricks above worked and most required me to wake up in the middle of the night several times.
Can someone help me with a solution that isn't on google? Any kitty masterminds here to help me outsmart her? Thanks!
