WIBU to wake up my kitten because he kept me up all night? *pics*

[HappenstanceMarmite]

2:30am he comes purring into my face, nibbling at my chin. Wanted to play but I managed to convince him (by stroking him) to go back to sleep. Then he tried again at 3:30 so I got up and played for a while, before giving him a little bit of chicken and headed back for bed. Forget it. So I got up properly at 4:30am and have felt like a zombie all day.

He, however, has been crashed out for hours this afternoon looking all cute So should I go up and poke him awake as an act of revenge? 😏 do not be fooled by his photos where he tries to look angelic

YABU for not posting more pics of your gorgeous kitten

[FurryLittleTwerp]

It can't have been him in the night - doesn't look remotely evil enough

[Chocoholicmonster]

Never wake up a sleeping kitty!

[originalmavis]

You are just the cats plaything...

[DrinkingCocktailsInTheSunshine]

Aw, he is gorgeous!

[baconandeggies]

Aw, dear of 'im. Tbh you should have tried to ignore him in the night as he'll expect a repeat performance now :)

[LiviaDrusillaAugusta]

I'm howling about the fact you gave him chicken - he won't expect that every night will he?

[FurryLittleTwerp]

Ha ha yes - chickeny snacks in the middle of the night sound like a cat's dream

[Randytortoise]

As the saying goes -Let sleeping dogs lie as he is not a dog, prod away!

[LapinR0se]

Oh god he is so beautiful. If you co-slept would he sleep better?

[MothertotheLordsofmisrule]

It's obviously not working out.

You must send him to meeeeee this instant.

[JenLindleyShitMom]

What a stunner!

YOu have to wake him up just so you can gaze into his amazing eyes!

[FannyFifer]

Chicken at 0330 forever now then.
He is very cute though.

[MissMarplesHat]

Gorgeous next time he wakes you at night don't play with him or he'll keep doing it

[MollyHuaCha]

Gorgeous cat. No idea what the thread is about as I haven't read it, but thanks for posting pic!

[baconandeggies]

Make sure he has loads of (quiet) toys to play with (in another room) when you're sleeping

[MissMarplesHat]

And definitely no night time chicken

[HappenstanceMarmite]

Wow wasn't expecting so many quick responses!

Yes he does co-sleep with me (and my partner). He's been pretty good up until last night, waking up when my partner gets up for work around 6am.

Oh god why didn't I think of the chicken-reward rod for my own back I've instigated?! Was so tired I'd have done anything. Ironically I was a much stricter mother to my own kids, some 20+ years ago. Also to dogs I've had, always been about discipline and then reward. But this little boy has me all soft and compliant 😳😭

[FlouncedBack]

Oh my, that is one seriously beautiful kitty.
Sleeping till 4:30am..tut tut, you do know that you signed up to be his slave for life you lazy?

[Sparklingbrook]

Sparklingcat co sleeps with us. But any attention seeking has to be annoyed and not rewarded with food or fuss however tempted. Remain firm.

[Weedsnseeds1]

Chocolate box kitten! You've set a precedent for snacks on demand now though I'm afraid. I'm sure she'll reciprocate with a dead mouse or two when she's older though!

[HappenstanceMarmite]

Thank you all for the kitty love. I've never been a car person, but then a chum got a Ragdoll and I was converted. more gratuitous pics attached

[BoopTheSnoot]

Oh he is purrfect
Is he a ragdoll by any chance?
I've always wanted a ragdoll cat, they are just so gorgeous

[HappenstanceMarmite]

*cat

[HappenstanceMarmite]

Yes Boop he's a Ragdoll ❤️
