Bella had a much better nights sleep last night. I did put the cat bed (never used by my cat) into the crate and put a cover over the crate. She took a while to settle but slept until 2.30, went to the toilet and had a short play session, back in bed and slept to 5.30. I have been really anxious about things but have started to relax thanks to all the helpful advice I have been given on this site.
Oh that's good news! I am sure you being more relaxed will pass on to Bella as well. Just give her time - she will soon be sleeping through the night.
@trish65 That's good to hear, really pleased that Bella had a better night. Hopefully Bella will settle more easily tonight but take one day at a time. Second Karen's comments about being relaxed. It's amazing how those cute little bundles pick up on us being stressed and also when you feel relaxed.
