I got my first kitten back in March. Everyday since then he has been
waking me up by crying every morning at around 5 am. I make sure to give
him lots of food the night before, and many mornings when I do get out
of bed when he starts up I check and see that his food and water are
still quite full yet. I thought that maybe he wants more attention, so I
make sure to play and pet him for a while before going to bed. But,
alas, I am still being woken up every morning.

Since he has gotten bigger, he now puts his paw under the door and
rattles it while meowing. I wouldn't mind letting him in the room at
night or in the morning if he didn't pounce all over me continuously
(thus not letting me sleep--so I lock him out of the bedroom at night).


If you had let him in to sleep with you the two of you would have worked it
out. When they are small they really want to please you, so they read your
cues. My kitten has been allowed to sleep with us since she got here at 2
months old, and she began by raising hell, but eventually stopped. I still
think you should let your cat in at night.
