Hi wise ones
I have a question about our ten-month old kitten.
He is a lovely guy, very well natured, is a house cat on the whole well behaved and has been neutured. However, kitten has started to wake me up very early in the morning - currently 4.15am but getting earlier every day - by chewing my foot, this morning it was my hair. If I keep the bedroom door closed, he will scratch on the door until I get up and open it when he will try to play with my legs... clearly he is in play mode at that time of the night and doesn't have a kitten/cat playmate to play with so is coming to find me.
I could shut him in the kitchen if I have to but is there anything else I could do here? I don't want him to be distressed or to scratch the doors / furniture if possible. But am also tired so would like to find another solution.
Btw this has been going on for about a month now and seems to be starting a little earlier every morning - was 6.15am and over some weeks is now 4.15am. I am putting our kitten out in the enclosed garden when he wakes me up and going back to bed but am v tired now!
Anything else I could do??
Tia
