Well, it's a personal choice, bottom line. If there were other cats there, I would definitely say to close the door. But there aren't. So it's really your choice. I can't see a reason against either alternative. As for TV, unless you sleep with it blaring, I can't see any reason she'd be scared by it.This is an acclimation room setup. The box is in the nook behind my desk chair. That’s not a sustainable location. So one friend told me just leave her locked away in her acclimation room tonight and you’re saying open it up tonight. Maybe I need to make a new thread for this question?
