My girlfriend and I have adopted a little tiger kitten we have named Indy (he reminds us of Indiana Jones acrobatics wise.) He is now 8 weeks old and over the last week he is for the most part a great well adjusted kitten. I know cats are nocturnal, and I know kittens have alot of energy so before I go to bed at around 4 AM (I'm a cook so I live on a strange schedule) I will play with him as much as possible to tire him out. My problem is that he will usually curl up somewhere near our heads and we will all go to sleep. But then a couple hours later one of us will be attacked at our hands, arms, faces or ears. I know he's just playing and is a baby so he doesn't understand. But I need to figure out a way to make him stop. Its not just the annoyance factor, he is actually drawing blood because when you are attacked in your sleep you have a tendency to pull away. Anybody have any ideas. I am now locking him in the bathroom, but I was wondering if there was a better way to go. Thanks

also a question. how much should i feed him every day. i've been just keeping a full bowl but i'm sure thats probably not right. Thats what my family did when we were kids, but we had 3 to 4 cats at a time and they all ate the same food.

hiya well he sounds like a normal kitty to me lol my two were exsactly the same i used to be woken up at about 5am with them biting my toes!! in the end we dont let them in the bedroom now as it got too tiring, we shut our door and make them a comfty bed out on the landing. also to feeding him, we used to give ours half a pouch of felix kitten each in the morning, then put down a handful of biscuits for throughout the day wen we were at work n then a pouch each at about 6pm den more biscuits in the evening before we went to bed. hope this helps, wod love to see sum pics of ur lil one

just wait till he learns that your feet are under the covers at the end of the bed! haha thats a lovely way to wake up! haha

yeah id say the best way is to keep him out your room at night, cats dont sleep for more than a couple of hours at a time so he'll always wake up and want to play, make sure hes got toys to occupy him when he wakes up through the night or he'll want in with you.
