Why does my kitten cry and separate me from my boyfriend at night?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female

Why does Darka my kitten separate me from my boyfriend? At night or early in the morning Darka likes to cry (Miaw) in my boyfriends ear and i always wake up first. Its like she is jealous of me being with him. i hate to say it but i think she wants him for herself (She kind of stole my boyfriend) Also she goes straight in between us to separate us. While she cuddles with him she hurts my back. What should i do? (I a really in need of some advice here)

Hello, It sounds like your kitten is just looking for attention or wanting to play. She likely wants to be between you two because she wants to cuddle with both of her people at once. I hope this is helpful.
