Don't feel guilty about it. Rocky and Rumor slept in a crate every night for the first three weeks they were here. We tried letting them stay out the second weekend and they played all over the bed and licked both our faces till we were red. Then they picked a hole in the bottom of the foundation and got inside to play so back to the crate for another week until we got he bed fixed so no one could get into the foundation.

Now they both sleep in the bed with us and on me. Rocky sleeps on my chest and Rumor sleeps across my neck like a collar or against my head on the pillow and she nurses on my ear and licks my face to death. I wake up not being able to breathe for all her fur going into my nose. On top of that I still have Ripley at my feet sometimes and Scout in my right arm if she isn't too jealous of the kittens. I haven't had a good night sleep for the past two weeks. I feel your pain.

When Riplely reached the 'teenage' stage he was so wild we had to shut him in the laundry room at night. That went on for three years until he finally calmed down enough to let him stay out all night. No way I'm going to get mad at you.
