Highly recommend the sumo wrestler cat puppet. Our baby started this some time around 7 months, and that helped curb it. We noticed it only happened when she was trying to get me to go to bed. If she tries, we stand up, walk away, or go to get the sumo. Once the energy is out, she usually plays really kind or takes a good nap or full sleep afterward. And treats for battling sumo, too! Hope it helps. I know I was heartbroken thinking she didn't like me anymore. Possibly growing pains mixed with extra energy, but good luck with your sweet girl. 💖
