Yes, I know the "complete problem" you speak of with the younger, energetic cats. Balls of energy with the "zoomies", and the next instant they've vanished, or decided to use you as a human pillow.
I got my two youngsters at 4 months during July, 2021. They stick cold, wet noses in my face while I'm asleep, or roll the noisy track ball at 2 AM out of boredom. One of the more unnerving experiences these two cats have caused me is also sleep-related. I'll find small objects have been re-arranged by furry burglars in the night - like thread spools, or missing sweet potatoes that "went for a midnight walk", or my wife's costume jewelry.
Imagine being half awake, still in a dream state, thinking you're paralyzed ... then find one cat sprawled on your knees and the second one piled on your feet. It's bothersome, especially when you really need to go pee, but something you'll deal with living with these naughty creatures.
On the flip side, though my black male Festus has already proven his skill as a mouser by getting two this year. His sister seems to be less of a hunter and more of a spectator.
