My kitten is getting an obsession

Okay, I admit it. My brain has turned to mush. No focus, no memory especially short term. Plus one arm is all but useless.
So I've had to come up with some workarounds.
A Litter Robot--Since I can't remember to clean the litter box I got a litter robot--So I only have to remember to get it out the door once
a week.
A rice cooker---- no matter what I won't have to remember to turn it off and if I go into the twilight zone and don't remember till tommorow I still have perfect rice.
An electric hot water pot---(Kept boiling water for soup or tea and I'd remember 2 hrs later after it cooled off in the electric kettle or boiled out on the stove and thats the way it would go all day)---Now I always have hot water ready.
Roomba vacuum robot---(No stamina for the regular vacuum cleaner) Well this thing just takes off does the job including under the bed and then all by itself finds its way back into the base to recharge---even has a remote. Mind you you do have to clean the compartment but it becomes kinda enjoyable like
meditation.
Okay, now I have a new kitten and I got him this battery operated crazy mouse that twirls a stick in a circle when you push the button
Anyway, I don't sleep to well with the AI's and as cats are creatures of the night Jack has to be busy. So lately at 4:00 am I start hearing this little song TAT Tat tata.......
next thing I know; the vacuum cleaner is under the bed vacuuming.
Jack Loves to vacuum. He has figured out how to turn the Roomba on --just like crazy cat--- I guess its just like a mouse to him. He vacuums every night. Heck if he wants to vacuum during the day I'll give him the opportunity-----but please let me sleep! I can't believe this!

LOL...You will have to cover the start button or something...Too funny.
I had a cat that learned to flush the toilet....didn't USE the toilet, just flushed it and watched the water swirl arround...over and over and OVER again. Just like your kitty, it was WAY more fun at night...silly kitty

ROFL~ That is so funny. WEll, to me it is. I'm sure it's just totally annoying to you! One of our cats is a total pain at night. Like a child I have had to try different options w/ him at night to give me some peace. UGH...I swear they're like 2 yr old kids! Good luck!

I always loved sleeping to the sound of vacuuming! Not that I do that much anymore - since I'm the one pushing the vacuum now. Your kitty sounds very cute and smart.

OMG - this is too funny! You should rig up a camera and get a video tape of kitty turning on the vacuum cleaner!! I bet you could win a few dollars with it!
(My brother had a cat that used to turn on the TV.) -
That is a riot about your cat. Cats are very smart and so curious. I'm not surprised that the cat could turn on the Roomba.
