Hello! I am excited to join, because I LOVE cats and finally have my own (after moving out our my parents house 1 1/2 years ago)!
My fiance and I adopted a 6-month old beautiful kitten, Clyde, last week. He was a stray until he was 4 months old. We thought that may be a problem, but he seems to really like us. He has been "fixed" and has all of his shots. He enjoys playing, petting and EVEN brushing. Our problem is, we haven't slept since we got him. Every night he is awake until 4:30 AM meowing, pouncing on our feet (he is not yet declawed), and crawling on our heads to get to the window. He is not hungry, and we play with him for at least an hour before bed. If we close the bedroom door, he meows constantly and claws at the carpet. We live in a one bedroom apartment, so there is not other room to put him in. I have had cats all my life living with my parents and never had a problem like this before. I would love some suggestions (and some sleep). Thanks!
