My little lovebug Lexie is causing me a bit of problems at the moment, nothing too serious, and I am not sure there is an answer to it all.

About four or five in the morning, she has decided the last three nights it is play time, she goes under the bed and scratches her way all around, then she jumps up on the end of the bed and off again, she thinks this is great fun.

Yes I have shut her out of the room ,but then she scratches at the door non-stop and jumps up at the door handle, and when that is ignored she rips the wallpaper, nawtee girl.

Problem one is she sleeps all day long, so I guess she has had enough sleep.

The only other place I could shut her in, is the laundry, but she would hate that, and again she would rip the wallpaper to shreds, I know she has got me over a barrell here, hasn't she folks?

Now I can see the funny side of it all, but that is wearing thin, I have a sleep disorder, and sleep is vital to my well-being, and I am getting chronic fatigue because of it, so it is kinda serious from that point of view.

You all know I love her to bits and with all my heart, so she is forgiven already, but has anyone any ideas what I can do, she is a smart wee madam, so I gotta out smart her. HELP!!!!PLEASE!!!
