Hi guys,

I love my little purball Brisco but boy-oh-boy when he wants to play there is no stopping him. He’s only 9 weeks and is full of energy.

How do you guys deal with kittens who want to play all night?!
We play with him each day for several hours but this is not enough for my boy. On Saturday night he was bouncing all around our bed an on our faces until he tired out at 7AM!
And then he curled up under my chin and slept contently until noon. Eish!

Last night was better but he cries every time I leave the bedroom (we have an older cat as well and are regulating the baby to the bedroom until they are fully acclimated to one another). I have had him for a week and haven’t slept a whole night since his arrival. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I love this baby so much he is absolutely the light of my life – but maybe he could be a softer light before sunrise.

Thanks
Leia

Play with him for an hour right before bed time. I recommend one of those kitty wands. I use Da'Bird. It got Gabby jumping and flipping. She would be really exhausted and sleep all night.

I played with him from 7-11 last night and he woke up at 4am rearing to go! He pounced on my head and stated biting my face. Every time he bites my face I say "no" and put him on the floor. This is not as effective as I would like but he is slowing seeming to get the message. Kittens require so much patients!

I know his love of face biting isn’t out of anger because he curls up with me at night and gives me kisses. He just goes nuts in the morning when he feels that we should all be up and playing with him.

Do you guys have any suggestions on how to curb the biting?

Keep up with the "No" and introducing him to the floor, he will get the idea. When he bites, say no and stop interacting with put him down and move away from him. They do grow out of it but yes, they require patience
