Cats wake me up every morning at 5AM
I have two 10-month old litter mates, boy and girl (both fixed). They've recently started waking up at 5AM, running around the apartment, jumping in and out of the windows and all over my partner and I in bed, wrestling each other, etc... I've tried tuckering them out by playing with them a lot before bed, ignoring them, spraying them with a water bottle, locking them out of the bedroom (which doesn't work because they just scratch at the door). I'm sure it's just a phase they'll grow out of eventually like all of the other bad things they've done during the kitten stage...but is there a way to make them chill out a bit quicker? Or something I can do before bed to avoid this? It's really disrupting my partner's and my sleep schedule. :(
