Yep! Its another night crazies thread.
I am discovering the pitfalls of having a deaf cat with CH. She is absolutely fearless. While this makes her an excellent and affectionate pet, it also means that she keeps me (and the downstairs neighbors) up all night with her adventures! She has no fear of loud noises, obviously. For instance, last night she decided to pull all of the pots and pans out of their cabinet onto the floor, making quite a mess and a lottt of noise. On a regular basis, she knocks everything off of the counter. She loves to push over the toaster in an effort to reach the top of the refrigerator (so far, no success). And God forbid I leave a paper grocery bag on the counter... it gives me chills thinking about it.
Her foster mom used to confine her to the bathroom at night, and said she was just fine with it. I've considered doing this but I have two reservations:
1. My bathroom is very small with a tile floor.
2. I actually got Henri as a companion for Samuel who gets lonely when I'm not home or sleeping. I would hate to separate them at night, or to lock them BOTH in a small space, especially when Sam is not accustomed to it and usually plays quietly at night.
What should I do? She usually wakes me up 3 or 4 times during the night with scary loud noises from the kitchen, and I'm sure the downstairs neighbors have been disturbed as well.
