rec.pets.cats.health+behav (news:2005092818562216807%rroot@indracom): I agree with those that suggest an environmental sound maker. If it were me, I wouldn't shut the door. For one thing, that might encourage them to slide into it and make more noise. Same here. Though, it might be worth a try to put up a baby gate in the middle of the hall. It won't stop the running but they'd have to slow down to jump over it. Like you say below, they'll outgrow it. Also, I wouldn't want to discourage them from sleeping near by. My experience is that the night time habits of kittens change a lot over the first 6 months, so it's worth it to wait for them to mature enough to sleep through the night. I think it's a developmental thing, like with babies. As they mature and get used to my habits, I get progressively better at sleeping with their backgroung noise and motion, and somewhere at about 3-4 months these two processes meet where I can sleep through the night with them sleeping nearby and both of us coming and going in the night as we see fit. But then again, you might want to try a throw rug on the end of the hall near your room. Either one that sticks pretty well, so that their feet are muffled as they run by, or a very loose one that they can run and slide on. Don't know which would be best. That would be really cool mom! LOL Yeah, yeah! Install a slide for us! My youngest love sliding across the kitchen floor on the throw rug in front of the sink. /speaking for the kittens. hehehe -- Cheryl |

Mine run faster to get up some inertia before jumping two baby gates... Rather defeats the purpose -- FORTY-SEVEN MILLION LOSE LOTTERY One winner declared "statistical aberration" |

yes. my 2 Moe & Rudy do the same and we live in an upstairs apartment,
lady downstairs has one cat say when ours start running her;s does two we're hoping when they get older they can sleep with us, for now bedtime means bdrm door is shut i keep several nightlights on for them and keep radio on, if they get too wild one is shut in spare bdrm w/food, toys and litter box (we have 2) we try letting them if we take a nap, they jump on hubby chest to the window and back down on his chest again, he has cancer not good...also like to sleep on top of your head and will head butt you....so that doesnt work either they were from the SPCA I think they're adjusting to their humans though for the most part now, they both are cuddlely, and loved to be hugged also you can try feliway seems to helped us some lynn Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future. ~Oscar Wilde |
