Hi all! This is my new baby Gizmo, he was born at the end of June and came to live with us about a month ago. Doesn't he look like a wee angel?
Well he can be when he's asleep! Most of the time he is a fluff ball full of energy, running from one end of the flat to the other, chasing crumpled balls of paper or wrestling with his adopted big sister - who loves him but retreats to her wee hide away shelf in my husband's cupboard when she tires of his antics.
During the day time he is not a scratcher or a biter, but in the wee hours of the morning he has taken to nibbling either mine or my husband's face, hands, elbows - whatever is out of the covers! He sleeps on our bed and dozes over just fine along with us - but should either of us dare to wake and check our phones for the time or nip to the loo, he wakes up purring thinking it must be time to get up! He's then confused when we try to go back to sleep and so begins to lick and then gently nibble on my (or hubby's) face! I move him back to his spot, but he only comes up to wake me again. I tried removing him from the bedroom but then he cries and paws at the door. I checked his bowls and the water is clean and there are biscuits incase he needs something to eat.
Basically my question is what does he want and how can I teach him not to do this? I haven't had a full night's sleep in weeks. We never had this kind of bother with his sister. It's cute now he's a kitten but won't be so cute when he's older!
Help :-(
