Cat advice needed - my cat is insane and driving me up the wall. [View All]

He's only about 10-12 months old, neutered, indoors only (I live in an urban area and fear him getting hit by a car or kidnapped - he's very very adorable).

I am out in the mornings, and often in the afternoons. I have to put him in the bedroom to eat dinner, or else he torments me during my entire meal by trying to sneak his paws onto my plate, lie on the table, stick his head in my glass, etc.

Then he sleeps a lot, of course. But when I am ready to go to bed, at about 11pm-1am, he's WIDE FUCKING AWAKE, jumping on me, attacking my feet as they move under the covers, crawling all over my bookshelf headboard, trying to drink my bedside water, biting my hair, etc.

What should I do?

He knows what NO means, but is very sneaky and determined to do what he wants as soon as you turn your back. I don't want to be mean to him and make him mean back. He already tries to bite me all the time, affectionately.

I need to get to sleep earlier. I spend at least an hour EVERY NIGHT battling with him.
