We surrendered to the expert, now the expert suggests getting under the blanket multiple times during the night.
Maybe we shouldn't have build her a playground behind the bed.
Mine has stages if the door is shut. 1) Yowling. 2) Trying to pull the door catch down. 3) Scratching door and louder yowling. 4) Ripping threads in the carpet as if he's about to tunnel his way in.
Sounds about right! We bought some thick plastic to put under the door so she can’t, and now she spends the night in her “apartment,” which is our master bath with her cat tree, box, etc in it.
She’s an expert plant assassin if left out at night.
Indeed it is easier to simply let the door open than to wake up by the noise when the cat sits outside, complaining and trying to open the door. My cat is quite succesful in this.
My tuxedo cat George yowled outside our closed bedroom door all night last night.
I'd let him in but then he repeatedly launches his giant tomcat body at my vulnerable bits to induce me to become nocturnal like him.
Now he's sleeping it off, of course.
