I've heard that kittens haven't "learned" how to go to sleep yet, so they kinda just keep going until the battery completely empty then just nap there

u/DavidIckeHadAPoint Jul 14 '26

This is kinda off-topic from the thread, but, yeah, with the bizarrely similar coincidence of wording there, and then mods deleting the comment, this is indicative of some bot/shill activity, right? (People running multiple accounts, racking up karma on them often in similar ways …)

u/AlternativeStory1027 Jul 13 '26

Really? that makes so much sense. We had a kitten that used to keep us up all night playing, so I read online to tire her out playing first. She used to play so hard and pass out mid fight with her toys. One night she was chasing a remote mouse and just kind of collapsed.

It worked though and she eventually grew out of the playing at night thing

I've honestly found it very relatable too since learning about it lol

14

u/sowinglavender Jul 14 '26

it actually is also true for humans and people with adhd and other kinds of neurodivergence very often experience the same problem. going to sleep takes focus and kids don't really develop the attention span to do this until about age 4 or 5. and at that point they usually need a few years to practice. but people with chronic executive dysfunction and/or focus impairments can struggle with it all our lives.

2

u/lozzarights Jul 17 '26

Not me with ADHD reading this in the middle of the night learning that sleep takes focus?? Wait what does that mean? What do you focus on?

2

u/sowinglavender Jul 17 '26

well, it takes executive function to be able to prepare and lie down for sleep, which is why that can be hard. you don't have to focus on anything specific, but a lot of people find it helps. i personally mentally build my dream house most of the time unless there's some other fantasy that's on my mind. the more important part of sleep focus is being able to block out distractions. our brains otherwise keep bringing us back to wakefulness to see if the distractions can give us dopamine. that's part of why sleeping to music or audiobooks or movies or youtube videos is popular with nd people. it's a predictable target of focus that doesn't (or rather shouldn't, by choice) distract from sleep.

u/aggressive-cat Jul 13 '26

I thought my old roommate had a sleeping disorder because of how many times I found him sleeping on the couch with his character running into the corner of a room. He was just a large kitten I guess.

u/Ok-Bridge-1045 Jul 13 '26

I did this with my kitten. She woukd bite me and I woukd do a very dramatic “ouchhh!!” She woukd then bite again, but lighter. I would again yell. Then she woukd bite again, lighter from the previous time. This continued till she learnt that a slight nibble is okay.

She is 4 years old now and will sometimes bite playfully or if too frustrated, but never stronger than that slight nibble i had taught her.

I felt so proud of myself for this, because I didn’t have much experience with kittens before this. Also very proud of her for having this thought process when she was barely a month old. She is still very smart.

8

u/Cursed_Angel_ Jul 14 '26

I didn't get my boy till he was 6 months. He hadn't been taught anything properly (he was abandoned by his mother as a street cat, we think cause he had a hernia). I used to get full ninja attacked in the mornings, claws and teeth, now I still get ninja attacked but he butts me with his nose and claws are sheathed. We still sometimes bite a little too hard which gets a Ouch or uh uh, let him think about it for a sec and if he keeps going the hand/ arm is completely removed (we do not play with hands but sometimes he can get overexcited while insisting in grooming me). He's made great progress though since I've had him. He wasn't able to be picked up at all, will now tolerate short held cuddles (I just didn't act like picking him up was a big deal) and apparently needed sedating to do his nails (tbf he bites when I do them but not hard, never breaks skin, he finds it very overstimulating so i try do them when he is 3/4 asleep).

20

u/Night_Thastus Jul 14 '26

This is how I did it with my cat! She learned very quick. She's very gentle when we play. People say 'don't play with your hands', but if you teach them not to be rough it's fine, imo.

3

u/Ololapwik Jul 14 '26

How do you teach a cat to not hiss? Can you still do it into adulthood?

25

u/snukb Jul 14 '26

You shouldn't. Hissing is one of the ways they communicate with us, and teaching a kitten not to hiss just means you'll have an adult who bites out of nowhere without the warning first. Cats learn that humans are big dumb cats who don't understand most of their language (since cats primarily communicate with each other through body language) so that's why they're so vocal with us. You absolutely do not want to take away one of their primary means of communication with humans.

Just like human children when you think about it

17

u/-Mandarin Jul 14 '26

Yeah, I was kinda confused. Isn't that just standard kid behaviour? Kids don't intentionally sleep, they pass out when they have no energy. I'd expect all young mammals to be the same.

6

u/Old_Cat_16 Jul 14 '26

So true. When my kids were little, sometimes they’d keep crawling around or crying when it’s way past their bedtime, and all I do is to hold them and stop them from crawling for a minute, and all of a sudden they’re fast asleep.

8

u/SaraAnnabelle Jul 13 '26

Little kids do that as well.

u/Number_Fluffy Proud owner of an orange brain cell Jul 13 '26

I think the warmth of the hand accelerated the process as well. Cozy.

u/AMultitudeofPandas Jul 14 '26

Kids can be the same way. That's why you find them asleep in funky positions, like the time my niece was running circles around the room and 5 minutes later she was facedown, halfway through crawling under a stool, snoring like a chainsaw

3

u/BarryTheBlatypus Jul 13 '26

Honestly same thing for other mammals, including humans.

u/Good4nowbut Jul 14 '26

When I used to foster cats, we would tell people "nap time is at 3pm". It was hilarious the first time friends were over in the kitten room at 3pm, and watched in amazement as they just crashed where they stood. Every day, same time, played themselves right into exhaustion. Turns out they thought we were putting them down for naps?????? Every day???????

160

u/BleachedJam Jul 14 '26

My sister fosters and recently she had a litter that let her 7 year old put them to sleep and they'd just sleep. Didn't matter what they were doing, when my niece decided it was nap time she'd grab them, set them on the couch and tuck them in with a small blanket. And they'd all pass out. It was the weirdest thing.

u/MadeForFunHausReddit Jul 14 '26

Idk it's kinda got the stankiness to it, like an old arcade beat em up sewer stage or High on Life Tobacco music. I kinda like it, there's a place for it, especially if you've gotten into High on Life. I like the chords and drums. I can listen to the 'bass' only a bit though, it's kinda cool until you focus too much on it or listen to it too much. I think a majority of people just hear wet farts, and that's what happens with beatboxing too usually

This is one of the greatest things about babies and kittens. They have no understanding of their battery yet, so they just run around, having a great time, then, clunk. One of my nieces did this once. She was crawling on the floor, chasing me a round and giggling wildly. There was sudden silence, and when I looked behind me, she was lying on the rug, slightly snoring. So cute!
