Dear Lola,
My daughter's 9-week old kitty likes to play all night. The kitty will lay in its bed, but prefers to go in and out of my daughter's bed. While this keeps her awake, my daughter prefers to have "her" kitty sleep with her. School will be starting soon and we need to get this resolved. Any suggestions? - Ginger
Dear Ginger,
It is in your kitten's nature to be a hyper little fuzz ball. Due to cat's different sleep patterns you can be assured that your daughter will not get her rest with the kitten in her room. I recommend that you and your daughter begin say goodnight to the kitten before bedtime, and perhaps together set the food and water out. This may make her feel closer to the kitten while at the same time instilling in her the responsibility that comes with a cat. Tell her that the kitten needs its rest too and that it will be there for her in the morning, after-school and there for naps, and so on and so on.
love, lola
