<human>: Hi everyone,

As I said, I just got a new kitten named Nutmeg, and while I love her to pieces, ever since I got her she hops onto me and my girlfriend in bed at about 4:30AM like clockwork. I play with her whenever I can at home to tire her out, and my housemate does so as well when I'm not there, but I can't seem to get her to stop jumping on the bed and waking us up with her adorable kneading. Is there anything I can do to stop the behavior, or is locking her in the closet where her food/water, litterbox, and a scratching post are located until it's time to wake up (about 7:00AM) the best option? I feel awful doing that, but it seems to be the only way I can get enough sleep so that I'm not operating high-precision 5-axis milling centers in my laboratory without passing out and decapitating myself.

Condense the text into a few key points
<bot>: new kitten wakes me and my girlfriend up at 4:30AM every day, any way to stop her from doing that besides locking her up until 7:00AM?
