How do I get my 10-week-old kitten to stop crying all night?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 3 days old | 4 lbs

we have a 10 week old kitten and we dont know how to sleep at night with him. we've had him for 3 weeks and we used to just keep him in a room about 4' by 7' a bathroom, with food water, litter box and a place to sleep, and it was fine he would just lay down and chill. but now i struggle to make him stay in the room and he will just cry and cry and want to be let out pushing his paws under the door. its so sad! i cant help but cry! but i cant put him in bed with me he would just get up and play!

The best solution is to let him go wherever he wants in the house, this is your best chance at getting some sleep, but kittens this age are very active at night and you can expect intensive night action for the next 3 months.
