Surviving Life With a Midnight Maniac Kitten

So, you thought adopting a kitten would be all purrs and cuddles? Welcome to the 2am zoomies. Here’s how I finally got my tiny tornado to sleep at night (so I could, too): Daytime: Let them nap, but also unleash chaos—climbing towers, puzzle feeders, and toys (just not the noisy ones that make you question your life choices at 3am). Evening: Play like your sanity depends on it. Chase, pounce, fetch—whatever tires them out. End with a slow wind-down and a high-protein snack. Wild cats hunt, eat, then sleep. Copy them. Bedtime: Kitten gets a warm blanket and soft toys in a separate room. Ignore the pitiful meows—do not give in. You’re training them, not the other way around. Invest in an automatic feeder. Trust me, it’s worth every penny. Bonus: If all else fails, hug your kitten when they’re hyper. They’ll hate it. You’ll laugh. Everyone wins (eventually). #KittenLife #PetParenting #CatAdvice #Pets #Cats
