Hi everyone,
I adopted a kitten about two and a half months ago, and she’s now almost six months old.
My problem is that she never seems to sleep during the day.
When she first arrived, I kept her in a separate room because I have another cat and wanted to do the introductions properly. At the start, I’d let her out every now and then to get my other cat used to her. Nowadays, she’s out in the house all day, but I still put her back in her own room for the night (at least for the time being).
The issue is that she never sleeps! She spends the whole day playing, tearing around the house and eating. She never settles down anywhere to rest. The only rare occasions where she does rest are when I’m resting too (on the sofa or in bed). This means she’s only really sleeping at night in her room. If I want her to nap during the day, I have to put her in her room; she’ll meow for a bit and then eventually drop off.
I’m worried because cats (especially young ones) need a lot of sleep, and that doesn't seem to be happening here.
Does anyone have any advice or suggestions?
PS: She’s just been spayed and won’t be going outside until the spring.
