Our almost one-year-old cat, Simon, won't let us sleep. We live in a one-bedroom apartment, meaning we hear everything that goes on in the place. While my husband and I are trying to sleep, our cat gets into all kinds of mischief constantly interrupting our sleep by the noise he creates. When we are in bed Simon goes all the places he knows he is not supposed to be: on my desk, and on my husband's desk he rearranges things, knocks stuff over, plays with practically everything, messes with the papers, and takes off with items. He gets on the bookshelves where he does the same things and also playing with my husbands sports metals to make them clank; He goes on the entertainment set where he leaps from speaker to speaker, sometimes knocking the heavy speaker to the ground with a crash, and knocking over cards. He gets in the recycling bin and plays around, into the kitchen sink and onto the stove to explore pots or pans. This all starts the moment we go to bed.
In the morning starting anywhere from 3:30 am to 6 am, Simon starts bringing his ruckus and games into our side of the apartment and into the bedroom. He goes into the bathroom, plays with the shower curtain, plays with items on the shelves, and knocks them down. Then he starts making noise with the closet doors by batting at them with his paws; he plays with the venetian blinds; rubs his paws vigorously on my canvas wardrobe, gets on our side tables, knocks over whatever he can find over (clocks, glasses, rings, hearing aids, etc), rattles the metal laundry drying rack like an alarm to get us up, and chews on things like the label on the air conditioning cord, and of course if he finds anything worthy of making a noise he will come and play with it in the bedroom. He meows too. HE IS DRIVING US NUTS! My husband is getting impatient that he cannot get any sleep in. Please can you help?
