[lvpets2002]

First Welcome to Pet Talk you & your babies.. Enjoy the talks & pictures.. MMmm lets think about this one.. My wittle Misti {I thought is very hyper} but I do think yours is outdoing her.. Have you had this baby checked out by a Vet?? There could be a brain disorder, dont know.. Have you tried putting this baby in the bathroom for the evening with its litter & food/water to see if that would settle things down a bit?? ** Hey Lets Call Out For Some More PT Cat Helpers To Advise US ok.. **

The Kitten Trio can be hyper, but certainly not to this extent.
I will ask my Friends at Animal Welfare for advice, you may have to get your Vet to prescribe something to calm Ollie down.
A Cat that hyper may have had something traumatic happen to him, and hes acting out his anxieties.
We certainly hope you can calm Ollie down.

I dare say you have one Nawtee boy on your hands! I would say get a playmate for him, but you already have another kitty. I assume he is neutered as well? Does your other cat play with him at all, or is he a very laid back non-playful kitty? I guess you "could" consider getting a young kitten and see if it would tire him out some. Other than that, I know a few members here have used different sprays and medicines to calm their kitties, but I've never tried any myself.

Last resort, talk to your vet and be sure there isn't medically wrong, or get a prescription for something to calm him. Good luck!

Hmmm. Difficult one. Cats are naturally nocturnal. So being active at night is NORMAL.

First question...is he locked (closed) OUT of your bedroom at night? Could that be what makes him "panic"?

Is he this active during the day?

Is he allowed outside?

Maybe his internal clock needs a bit of resetting. Make him play HARD before the time YOU want to go to sleep. Then feed him so his full belly will make him sleepy (combined with his play time, he should be tired out).

As asked earlier, if he is not neutered, do so. Should help to calm him down some.

Also, a vet might be able to suggest a sedative for bedtime, especially if nothing else works.

Any news on your wild boy?

Are you gone during the day? Sounds like he needs something to do to wear him out before bedtime. Play with him, HAY, get a laser light and play with him until he is wore out! They love those lights and will chase them for hours!

He still has a lot of kitten energy in him from the sound of it. My Giz will explore when the lights go out at night so I have to have my bedroom Giz proffed or she will keep me awake playing. She has a rather large basket of toys in the living room and I will get up in the morning and they are scattered all over where she played with them at night..

Also, you may want to look into getting some calming spray or something to calm him down until he (hopefully) outgrows this. I would remove the pictures off the walls until he forgets about them being playtoys. He is waking you up because it works! Chester use to wake me up every morning... It took me less than three times to put him out and shut the bedroom door and he stopped that... Even if he sits there and crys and it keeps you awake, do that until he learns... you are awake anyway, right?
