Do your cats ever want to play, when you want to sleep?

I only have one cat and she is not a playful type of cat, except with mice, when it comes time for bed she just pounds away and settles down, I thin k she is lazy like me...

my cat does his own thing on his own. but usually if i want him to sleep, i carry him upstairs with me and put him on my bed. and he usually sleeps with me all night on the bed,just moves around to different area.

sorry, i have adog.............. and if i sleep, sleep it too. so u've no problem........ bye myryam

I don't have a cat, but boy does my dog want to play when I'm ready to go to sleep. He can be sleeping, but when I get up to go to my room and he follows, he suddenly gets perky and is ready for a good 'ol time. I'll lay in bed and he'll 'attack' my toes. He'll nip at my feet whether they are under the cover or not. I just try to ignore it, and after about ten minutes he usualy stops and settles in to go back to sleep.

Our cats have never been that big on playing. Mostly what they want to do is explore. Sometimes they want us to go with them, but usually they want to be on their own. They all want to be loved.

Cats are instinctively nocturnal, lucky for my kitties I am too, hehe. I have one kitty that likes to play at night and my oldest cat likes to be all crazy knocking stuff off counters. For the most part, my kitties tend to like to cuddle at night, usually right on my face. They don't seem to understand when I shoo them away, they just come right back. Nothing like waking up with kitty hair on your face.

Partly, you have to wait til the kitten outgrows it. But there are things you can do. Find your kitten and the others, during the daytime and early evening hours, and get them playing. They will go an take nice naps in the afternoon and then be up half the night. So drag them out of their napping spots and give them toy mice, play with fishing pole toys, or whatever they like, but keep them busy. To an extent, the kitten will probably still be up in the night, but it should help a good bit. Do you shut them out of your bedroom at night -- that can help too. But the best help is to wake them up in the day time as much as you can, without making them completely crazy (they need some nap time, but just don't let them sleep for a long time in the daytime). Good luck. Kittens are so delightful! And sometimes SO ANNOYING!
