It's been a long time since I last had a kitten-1982 to be exact.  Back
in Dec. I adopted an 8 week old male kitten from the shelter.  Now he
is about 5 months old, and has just been neutered.  Charley is very
sociable and an all around well-adjusted little guy.  No matter what
he's doing, be it sleeping or playing, he prefers to be in the company
of humans.  The only problem is one of his preferred play times is
about 10PM--when we are trying to relax and go to sleep.  It would be
okay if we could shut him out of the bedroom, but eventually he comes
and yowls at the door, quite persistently.  I expect this evening play
time is a normal thing, but I'm wondering when he gets older, if he'll
grow out of it?  If so, when might this occur?  (Neutering did not
affect it much.) In order to get some sleep, we sometimes put him in a
room at the other end of the house, but I don't regard this as an ideal
solution.  Any ideas?

Thanks!
