When we got Tigris and Filou I said the cats will never come in my bed. I said napping with a cat on the sofa is ok but please, no cats in bed. My husband said cats in his bed are ok.

We have separate bedrooms because my husband usually reads until 1 a.m. and then falls asleep with light on- and I sleep earlier The weekends we sleep in the same bed because then I stay up much longer and we don't have that timing problem.

Ok, little Tigris arrived one day earlier than Filou. We felt so sorry for him because he had to leave mom and dad and auntie and brother and now he was alone with us. So we decided to sleep the first night in my husbands bed ( we have two queens ) and to allow Tigris in the bedroom as he would anyway be sleeping with his dad. First he didn't come but then he settled down on the cover purring contently.

The rest is history: my husband has not had a single night of uninterrupted sleep in the last 9 years and the weekends both cats sleep in our bed

I agree: Brodie will feel better in a day or so. And play with him before bedtime as hard as you can. It's not easy to wear a kitten out but I wish you a good success with it.
