Ugh, I'm so exhausted. The night before last I didn't sleep well because it was so hot, but last night it was due to the animals. We have three cats and a dog. Last night, two of the cats spent from about 3 o clock until when I gave in and got up (5:50) chasing each other around the loungeroom. I tried telling them off, grabbing one and holding onto her and stroking her untll she calmed down a bit and but nothing worked. With the hot weather they flake out during the day and then they get all their energy back at night!
So... I need to start getting them used to NOT being allowed around the house at night. Our place is a two storey townhouse, and we shut all the doors upstairs at night so they can't get into mischief anywhere up there. I'm sleeping downstairs at the moment because it's just too hot at night upstairs. Considering the baby will be here in late summer (due date 28th Feb) I'm pretty sure it will still be warm then so there's a good chance he'll be sleeping down here with me. So I don't want the cats running around then! I can lock them in the kitchen/laundry where their food and tray is, but I know they'll cause havoc and be really noisy. Any ideas on how to get them used to it? I also don't want to disturb the neighbours too much with yowling cats if I can help it!
