It’s amazing how cats can surprise us, right? Miso’s sudden warmth toward Luna sounds like a real breakthrough. Sometimes older cats soften up when they realize the kitten isn’t a threat but more like a tiny, energetic companion. Just keep an eye on their body language to make sure Miso doesn’t get overstimulated - offering Miso some quiet alone time away from kitten chaos can help maintain that balance.

I once had a grumpy cat who eventually adopted a kitten as her “baby,” and it was one of the sweetest transformations I’ve seen. Enjoy those unexpected moments - they’re pure gold!

I’ve found that even a little consistency in timing, rather than just the hour itself, can make a surprising difference. One thing that helped me was dimming screens and lowering lights an hour before bed to wind down naturally. It’s subtle but can reduce that tossing and turning. Not sure if you’ve tried that yet, but it might make earlier sleep feel
