Enjoy it! This is kittenhood. I don’t know how they get into so much, but they sure do! But they are so much fun!

You have got to be kidding me! Kittens are supposed to act crazy! You don’t drug them! For god’s sake, what is wrong with you????
Response:
yeah..:) I love them..:) Most recently, my two adult ferals have been holding cat fighting class almost on time everymorning at 2am. They are teaching the kittens how to fight and attack and pounce 
I love watching them go at it.. I just wish they would do it a little bit later

Picture an 8 week old kitten (named Bonnie too) and a 3 year old 75lb Pitbull mix at 3AM playing chase ….I would have thought it was the dog initiating the fun, but usually he’s sound asleep until she wakes him with a swipe to the nose and darts off. It is very sweet though, when they do sleep, its curled up together. Luckily I can (and do) close my son’s door. Merissa ( the referee)

My kittens are like this too. I swear, the two cats I grew up with were never like this. The two I have now are the same age however, so they are just as stupid as each other! I could quite well believe they will be like they are now for the rest of their lives!

Response:
Good luck. Ever since I got my new kitten my 3 year old cat and the now 10 month old kitten chase each other all over the place. There is no end in sight. I just make sure I put things away at night that they can’t knock over. It’s frustrating but they are sooo cute and I’m glad my older cat now has a playmate. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – >Maybe its just been awhile since I had kittens, this little but little >Bonnie and Clyde are driving me nutz!!

yes, i’ve had luck with common sedatives such as valium. you don’t have to waste lots of these precious pills on your kittens, very little of the substance works wonders! cut up a pill into several pieces. take a pencil with eraser, and some sticky stuff to hold it on. now is the tricky part. tie your cat to a solid object upside-down, place the eraser end close to the cats mouth. when he/she tries to bite it, shove it in her mouth and down her throat. twist it, so as to dislodge the medicine morsel. you might want to experiment with the dosages. one of my cats slumbered for 6 weeks and missed the better parts of her kittyhood. this was too much and i have learned to give them less. good luck! – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> Thanks > Rhonda

I’m sorry, but if you checked their resume’s and the job title you’d see: JOB TITLE: kitten DESCRIPTION OF DUTIES: running around like idiots; getting everywhere; keeping all other lifeforms awake at all times. The only thing you can do is find a dungion somewhere; in my house I used a storeroom off the laundary room in the basement. Kato couldn’t make enough noise to wake me. Forteunately I only needed two nights of such treatement to get him to settle down. However he was just one kitten. I can’t imagine life with two kittens!

Picture an 8 week old kitten (named Bonnie too) and a 3 year old 75lb Pitbull mix at 3AM playing chase ….I would have thought it was the dog initiating the fun, but usually he’s sound asleep until she wakes him with a swipe to the nose and darts off. It is very sweet though, when they do sleep, its curled up together. Luckily I can (and do) close my son’s door. Merissa ( the referee)

My kittens are like this too. I swear, the two cats I grew up with were never like this. The two I have now are the same age however, so they are just as stupid as each other! I could quite well believe they will be like they are now for the rest of their lives!

Good luck. Ever since I got my new kitten my 3 year old cat and the now 10 month old kitten chase each other all over the place. There is no end in sight. I just make sure I put things away at night that they can’t knock over. It’s frustrating but they are sooo cute and I’m glad my older cat now has a playmate. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – >Maybe its just been awhile since I had kittens, this little but little >Bonnie and Clyde are driving me nutz!!

> Anyone have any suggestions of things to give them …
yes, i’ve had luck with common sedatives such as valium. you don’t have to waste lots of these precious pills on your kittens, very little of the substance works wonders! cut up a pill into several pieces. take a pencil with eraser, and some sticky stuff to hold it on. now is the tricky part. tie your cat to a solid object upside-down, place the eraser end close to the cats mouth. when he/she tries to bite it, shove it in her mouth and down her throat. twist it, so as to dislodge the medicine morsel. you might want to experiment with the dosages. one of my cats slumbered for 6 weeks and missed the better parts of her kittyhood. this was too much and i have learned to give them less. good luck! – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> Thanks > Rhonda

I’m sorry, but if you checked their resume’s and the job title you’d see: JOB TITLE: kitten DESCRIPTION OF DUTIES: running around like idiots; getting everywhere; keeping all other lifeforms awake at all times. The only thing you can do is find a dungion somewhere; in my house I used a storeroom off the laundary room in the basement. Kato couldn’t make enough noise to wake me. Forteunately I only needed two nights of such treatement to get him to settle down. However he was just one kitten. I can’t imagine life with two kittens!

Well, lucky me.. my kitten has a playmate, another kitten. What I wanna know is how the hell they get into cabinets when I don’t hear them.. then suddenly I hear a plastic grocery bag wrestling around on the kitchen floor.. and I am wondering where the hell it came from? I try to pick up everything that will annoy me, but. . they always seem to find something. They jumped up on the bar and found a bottle cap.. they went into the bathroom, and found the toilet paper.. (which was no longer in roll form when I found it) they were able to get into the sink and fell in the dishwater.. (that was a real pleasent thing to listen to at midnight.. just to name a FEW things they have done:) The good news is, they discovered the cat door and are having a blast on the balcony. the bad news is, how long before they discove the other cats jumping OVER the balcony to go play in the ivy below!

hahahahahah, Bonnie and Clyde is what we are naming two of the kittens, brother and sister. They are into everything and they bite the ears of the other kittens, they are adorable troublemakers!

Maybe its just been awhile since I had kittens, this little but little Bonnie and Clyde are driving me nutz!! Especially in the middle of the night when they are running the obsticle course, around the bedroom, down the stairs, over the baby, on to the couch, through the blinds that cover the sliding glass door, into the kitchen, over and sometimes into the trashcan back up the stairs landing right on my head, 3 out of 4 times! Don’t get me wrong, I love them and all And during the day they are so much fun! The other two older cats, actually leave the house and sleep on the balcony to escape them.. and get some sleep themselves. I don’t wanna lock them up in a room, but if they keep landing on my son, I might have too. I would lock my son up at night, but we need to keep the air flowing through his bedroom door because it has been really hot here, and he has no air conditioner in his room, (although that is going to change really soon) Anyone have any suggestions of things to give them that would keep them entertained in ONE place instead of all over the whole house??
