Consider yourself lucky - when my Aby was a kitten he bounced off the walls 24/7

He seriously never slept. I knew Abys were an engetic cat breed but I wasn't quite expecting that. Kittens in generally have tons of energy. Most do sleep for a bit before they're zooming around again. Make sure you play with the kittens to help with that energy. Playtime before bed will help tire them out so they'll sleep for most of the night. Most kittens do eventually settle down asthey get older and have more "normal" energy levels.

When my two cats were kittens, they would run around like maniacs for 30 minutes, nap for a couple of hours, and then repeat that cycle. They did that 24 hours a day. I often had to close my bedroom door to be able to sleep, but they would still occasionally stick their paws under the door ("What's he doing in there? Why doesn't he want to play with us?")

Eventually they grew out of it.

My cat is almost 3 and sleeps about 20 hours a day, but when he was a kitten I swear he slept less than I did!! [emoji]128576[/emoji]
