Hello!
I have two kitties - Gabby Girl and Chloe Blue and I've had them for about 6 years now. They both sleep in the bed with me at night. Chloe usually sleeps at the foot of the bed and Gabby always on the same pillow as me or literally right next to my head.
The problem is when Gabby wants to be petted or wants wet food (introduced wet to them a month ago) she will meow all night until I get up and give her what she wants! She woke me up at 5:00 a.m. this morning demanding food. I got so irritated that I screamed at her to STOP. When I do this, she will quiet down for about a minute and then start up again. I've tried to ignore her, but she will meow for HOURS until I do something.
This has really affected my sleeping patterns. I've lived like this for as long as I've had her and I've got to do something! I hate it when I get so fed up that I yell at her to STOP. But sometimes I don't get sleep at all.
Does anybody have any suggestions? By my giving in to Gabby all these years, I've created a little night monster!
