She runs around and goes into "attack kitty" mode where she's trying to catch everything, like shadows by my face or something and ends up clawing me with her needle like claws. So she ends up waking me up. Like right now. Last night I couldn't fall asleep till like 4 a.m. and am now awake at 7:00 a.m. because she kept running around and being "attack kitty".
She also tried to naw at very expensive/important computer wires.
She's a cutie when she's calmed down, but geez, I've woken up early or in the middle of the night about 3 or 4 times now.

I try to wear my kitten out (6 month old) before going to bed. Just get a toy with a string on it and make him chase it until he's tired of it (ever made a cat pant?).
They do get a second wind in the morning and he'll be chasing our older cat (2 yr old) around the apartment starting around 5:30AM which is close to when we get up anyhow.
They also love the berber carpet that we have. Their claws stick to it so they can turn on a dime at full speed.
