We got our 16 week old kitten four days ago. Up until last night we slept with out door closed. The cat up until a few days ago was afraid to come upstairs anyway. My husband is not comfortable with this because our he feels we might now hear our 4 and 6 year old kids if they need us during the night.
So... left the door open last night. If I got 5 HOURS of sleep I'd be shocked. Within a half and hour the kitten was in the bed walking around, purring non-stop and finally settled on my pillow above my head. By 5:30am he was again walking all over me purring like mad, occasionally attacking my hands. He pretty much left my husband alone (probably the snoring).
Anyhow, I am thinking we are just going to have to shut the door again. I am afraid now that he knows what he is missing he will scratch and cry a the door. What do I do then? Lock him up in the large guest bathroom at night? I hate to do that because he is used to his litterpan being a certain place and dont' want to have to start using two of them now. At his foster home the couple shut their door at night but the kitten had his littermates to play with.
PS: This little guy is just the most sweetest loverboy of a cat. I am home all day and he gets non-stop attention from me and my children.
PSS: Please don't say "get another kitten" because that is out of the question.
