He is so cute!! We have only one foster kitten left and our cats hate her. That is my foster hell, there is no one to keep her busy. I usually pawn kittens off on littermates or my cats but she is ALL OVER ME ALL THE FRICKING TIME.
He was okay most of the night, but about 3:00 am started nibbling on our fingers. Then it was into the bathroom with his litter, scratcher, bed, and water because AW HELL NAW. I'm no one's chew toy.
I love kittens! I raised 3 at once & it wasn't easy. Why does he have access to your bedroom at night? That would drive me bonkers. The kittens were much more well adjusted when I isolated them in a small room & then let them have access to more & more of the house. Yes, he'll meow at first since he can't get in your bedroom anymore, but they get over it. Not being woken up in the middle of the night will make you a less grumpy cat momma and therefore get along better. I know it worked for us.
We got Wednesday at 5 weeks, someone dropped her in the AutoZone parking lot For the first several weeks she lived in a humungo box (like 4'x6'x5') in our furniture-less dining room because I wasn't going to go searching for a itty bitty kitty that wedged itself into places that I couldn't find. She was out while we were home and able to watch her but in her box while we were at work (opposite shifts most of the time) and while we were sleeping. When she got big enough to jump out we allowed her to stay out, but the bedrooms stayed off limits until she was 6 months old or so, and she wasn't allowed to sleep with us until we moved into the new house last September (so 18 months or so).

We have a kitten room which has all the shit unplugged, giant litterbox, food, water, peekaboo box with their toys jammed in it. When we can't supervise they go in there so they don't accidentally kill themselves. I'd make sure to play interactive toys with her A LOT to wear her out. They grow out of it in like two years, they're also a lot easier in pairs b.c. they play together and teach bite inhibition.
