I need some advice to help with me with my baby boy, Whiskey. He is a 5 year ols male cat and I have had him since he was a very young kitten. We are very close and have a great relationship! He loves to sit on me, knead my hair and drool all over me lol
The only problems we are having is when night time comes and it's time for sleep! He lets me sleep for the first two or so hours and then the trouble starts..... Firstly he starts walking up and down over and on my head, then he 'head butts' me ( and let me tell you ...it hurts!) I often push him off but he is just straight back on! If i ignore him he either starts to annoy my other cats (I have 6 altogether) who sleep with me also.... biting or harassing them, so that they have a hissy fit. Or he jumps onto my night table and systematically swipes at items on there, such as my alarm clock, mobile phone etc....until there is a pile on the floor. This goes on until I get up and either feed him or sometimes he is just happy to get me up. I have tried ignoring him (which is too hard) I ahve looked him out of the bedroom but this poses another problem lol If the door is closed he will then 'head butt' the door and my little dog (who also sleeps with me) will get up and start to bark like crazy! So then we go back to square one!
I play with him each evening before bed and try to keep him awake to tire
him out. I have to admit that I haven't tried the spray bottle, this would have to be a last resort (which I am rapidly coming to!)
Does anyone out there have ANY advice??????
Please help!
