My kitten won't let me sleep... chases my eyes.?
He's nine weeks old now and I've only had him for a week, but he's the mentalest and happiest cat I ever saw. We got another to keep our other (skittish) cat company and they're starting to become friends, but she sleeps at night so the kitten has nothing to do. He enjoys scratching every part of my body (I look like a cutter now), which I don't especially mind when I'm awake (it's just that he climbs me CONSTANTLY), but when I sleep I have to put a blanket over my face and move him off of me for a few hours before he gets the point. I know he'll grow out of it eventually, but I also know he'll be a handful his whole life. (His father is a friend's cat and is the same kind of mental little kitty who likes people food and fetches balls like a dog.)
HE LIKES TO CHASE MY EYES. I can't understand it, because they're not moving anywhere, but he stalks them and then sticks his little paw in my eye and it hurts and makes me cry. Also, I know some kittens like to sleep on/near heads and necks, but he likes to sleep directly on my neck with his claws digging into my chin and lips and STARE AT ME.
I do play with him during the day and he plays on his own and with the other cat, he's never still.
I guess he'll grow out of the scratching, but any tips on getting him to lay off my eyes????
Also, I generally go to bed at around 5 or 6 AM, which I thought meshed pretty well with cat hours, but while I'm up all night doing work and such he's sleeping in the window.....

We have a kitten too. We thought it was so precious how she slept all day but at night she was running around and getting into everything! Something that helped us was keeping her awake during the day. Waking her up and playing with her anytime she dozed off so that she would sleep at night. For the eyes thing, I'd suggest picking her up and putting her on the floor anytime he touches your eyes untill he gets that it is not allowed
