My kitty wakes me up all the time at night and keeps me up by playing! If I shut my bedroom door she just scratches at it, thus keeping me up anyway! How can I get her to chill out at night??

its the midnight madness! i suggest going and makeing toys or buying some that will keep her occupied. get things that roll or swing or bobble back and forth. thats what we did. now she is programed to play all day and until bed time which then she knows the times. then at 6 every day she wakes up and demands to be let out of the room. if then its the week end she will prode me awake with the two front claws on her paw on my bottom lip. it dont hurt, it just aggrevates. but yea get her some activites to do, or just wear her out with stuff during the day.

Maybe put her in the bathroom, laundry room, etc. Is it just a kitten? Have you considered crating her at night? Also if it's just a kitten they're just like babies and wake often.

Time is the only thing that will help with this , as she gets older she will become lazier and won't feel the need to stay up all night playing and making noise . Each kitten is different and the time will vary on your kitten but it won't last forever .

I realize it's annoying as i went through the same thing, but it will pass. this is a very important time in the kittens development and you should let her play. It's like having a baby. They don't always sleep through the night. You might try playing with the kitten before you go to bed. Get a toy that it has to chase and perhaps you can 'tire it out' before bed time. Then the wake up won't be so frequent. Good luck.
