If I take no notice he has literally pushed photo frames and books of shelves. He is not hungry but wants to go out to play. I have no where to fit a cat flap so am stuck with getting up to let him out and then trying to get back to sleep.I tried leaving him in the lounge but he cried all night.
Any ideas for training him to my sleep pattern?

Oh dear - I did not realise it was such a common problem. I live in a flat and am worried about any noise pussy causes to disturb my neighbour. I think the idea of making him go out during the day is a good one instead of letting him lounge about on the settee. You have been warned cat!
