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

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

Naughty cat!

We have 2 persians, although they're not kittens we have some tricks up our sleeves to prevent midnight meowling.
We feed them a wet sheba pouch about an hour before bedtime to fill their tummies (giving them the hour to do the inevitable cat toilet), run them ragged at night before bed with a favourite toy (before the sheba!), put classic FM on while we're in bed, and have a large bowl to free feed them biscuits/kibble during the night.

Usually this works!

Yes, if he's waking you @ 230 I'd expect he wants feeding rather than playtime!

neonrainbow · 08/12/2016 20:47

Oh my god seriously gorgeous kitten! I bloody love ragdolls.

SukeyTakeItOffAgain · 08/12/2016 20:48

That is the most beautiful animal in the works, bar none.

SukeyTakeItOffAgain · 08/12/2016 20:49

World dammit world.

Lottie so cute! Sticking his tongue out haha xx

Toddlerteaplease · 08/12/2016 20:52

Cato, your Persian is almost as cute as my pair. Mine are pretty good at night apart from the snoring, noisy drinking from their cup, sitting on my head, and flossing their teeth on my hair. Stayed with my parents the other night and their boy is a totally different kettle of fish. Snuggles are demanded at 0300, and hands pounced on at 0600. Hmm

Until I joined Mumsnet back in May or June, I absolutely loathed cats and couldn't understand why people get so soppy over them. Then I found myself actively seeking out accidentally stumbling across cat threads such as this one, and for the last three months or so, I keep catching myself wondering what if? Damn you, cat posters - look at all these lovelies! 😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻

HemanOrSheRa · 08/12/2016 20:58

Hehe! You may change your mind looking at this little fecker Jess Grin. This is his night time Get Up Human face.

If anyone would like to post pics of their Maine Coons, I'd be ever so grateful!

I have two rag dolls Grin Brother and sister. Sister looks exactly like yours OP. Lilac point. Brother is seal point (dark brown points).

Brother is as thick as shite not as intelligent as his sister by a long chalk. Here's hoping you've got an intelligent version OP Grin

HappenstanceMarmite · 08/12/2016 21:07

Thank you for all your lovely compliments on my boy.

From day one I said we should shut him in the hallway where he'd have lots of room with toys and access to his food and litter tray. But, oh no, that would be cruel! So now we have these shenanigans to deal with.

He has access to toys, kibble biscuits, water and litter box and I do feed him some chicken before bed...after playing with him all evening. I'm hoping last night was a one off ha bloody ha

Couple of pics from the first time we met him at 10 weeks old what an ugly creature, can't think why I fell in love instantly

I am genuinely concerned for your mental wellbeing, which you are not getting from lack of sleep.

So my taking the kitty off your hands is purely an altruistic motive on my part.

Honest guv'nor.GrinGrin

HappenstanceMarmite · 08/12/2016 21:20

And thank you everyone for posting your photos too. Some lovely cats here.

I know I've now turned into one of those women... the sort who spends hours looking at funny cat videos and spending small fortunes on "things he might like". It's a bloody CAT fgs 😭

My Mum went to Portugal on holiday and came round announcing she had presents......... a pack of biscuits for DH to "take to work", and a tin of local sardines for the cat!!! Hmm

CherrySkull · 08/12/2016 21:30

My boyfriend-scaring kitty fell in love with a cat toy mouse that ASDA sold. Only, he lost it and asda had stopped selling them. He cried for a week. So much so that I emailed the stockist and begged for a new one Blush

Gorgeous kitties here. Love them all Smile

Laiste · 08/12/2016 22:11

Thank you happen. They are 7 next spring. I had forgotten all about how their face points started out as a little smudge on the nose. So cute!
