Playful kittens!

Question
At night my kitten runs around the house and plays. Why wont she go to sleep with me?

Answer
Amy,

She does that because she is a healthy normal kitten. She has a lot of energy and needs to wear herself out. You really need to have 2 kittens when you get one. They need a playmate to play kitty games with, to chase, to snuggle with, and for comfort and companionship when they are alone.

Try playing with her an hour before you go to bed. Pull a string around, or get a pet laser light from PetSmart, Petco, etc. They love to chase the 'little red bug' on the floors, walls, and ceilings.

Then give her a can of catfood. With her being tired from playing and a full tummy she should sleep during the night. Also leave a bowl of dry catfood, like Iams Kitten Chow, so she can munch if she gets hungry.
