I agree with Trish that moving him into your bedroom might be the best option at this point....

I didn't put him in my bedroom because it's a very big room.
it's 3times the size of the bedroom he's now in.
Also it's hard to keep my other cats out of my bedroom.

Now we just had 2-3hours of sleep together on the bed.
He using my hand as pillow.

If he follows the pattern of last 2 nights he will start meowing in an hour.

Maybe i will also sleep with music in my ears.

If you haven't already done so, put something that smells like you in the room. Also, try leaving a radio or tv on with volume low so he has something to keep him company.

It also may help to put your other cats in Themba's room for the next few nights and move Themba into your room so they get used to each others' smell. It won't be long before you'll be making introductions and this might ease the process.

Wouldn't this make him very scared ?
Again a new environment ?
I could do this for the weekend. first need to cover all the hiding spots in my room.

It'll give him something to think about other than his loneliness. It's a gamble -- but the smell of the other cats just might make him feel better, even though they're strangers. It certainly won't hurt him and is worth a try to see if it helps him.

Sorry, I also meant to say that he should be in your room only for the night to sleep and he should be closed in his crate, not allowed to roam the room. Then move him back into his room during the day.

Oke, thanks for the tips.
Now it's 9PM, last 2 nights he starts around this time.
This night if he starts i will put him in his crate.

it's amazing what this kitten can eat.
He eats way more then my adult cats.

He still hisses a lot at me, but he also enjoys my company.

Earplugs might work for my neighbours.
Not if i'm in the same room. i don't even think it would help for my brother in the room next to me.

My own bedroom is very far off, so there i could have silence but i rather stay with him.
But this night and the next night i gonna sleep in my own bedroom.
I need to get productive for work.
I will join him back at the weekend at night.

He started yesterday at 9PM and stopped at 7AM.
The same time as the night before.

I understand it's a hard time for him, but no sleep makes me so frustrated.

With moments he goes louder then now :

If you aren't going to sleep in there (and I do understand needing to get some sleep) maybe try putting a radio on in the room at low volume, he may find the quietness of the night disturbing... things seem scarier to US at night and so maybe the same for him?

 

[Brigitte Cowell]

Yes that's right.
He turns 10week tomorow.

Then Trish is completely correct, he's VERY young to be all alone and taken away from all that he knows. An older kitten is just more confident in themselves so better able to handle the changes involved in going to a new home. He's a very scared baby crying for his sister and his home :-(
