New 5 month old shelter cat adopted to good home, but turns into chaotic kitty with zoomies at 4 am every night, keeping pet owners awake all night: 'We tried playing with him for like an hour and a half straight, he doesn’t stop'

Adopting a new pet, especially a young kitten or puppy, is a lot of work. It's impossible to know how things will be with the animal until you have it. Take the story below as a good example: the protagonist is a woman who just adopted her first ever kitten with her husband. They went to the shelter together to pick out a kitten, and decided on one who seemed chill at the time. On the kitten's file, it did say that she was a little on edge and would run around at night. Little did they know this meant complete and utter sleep-depriving chaos. The little kitten is literally bouncing off the walls at night, zooming from room to room, keeping up the owners so they can't get any sleep. 

They try multiple tactics to calm the little kitty down, but eventually nothing works. They seek wholesome advice from the internet for their situation.
