Hi all!
Maybe some of you have had this experience before and can share some thoughts...
Singa is now roughly 1.5 years old. She was always allowed to sleep in my bed at night, but most of the time she would wake me up several times at night when she suddenly felt the urge to cuddle with me. walking over me etc.
It became a bit annoying, so when I moved recently (end Dec), I decided to try to not let her sleep in my bedroom anymore. At the beginning she would come to the door and meow and scratch at it several times at night. With a bit of 'scolding' she eventually got the message and let me sleep peacefully. So I thought.. but maybe I was just sleeping like a rock then...
Now she will come to the door in the morning and meow and scratch (around the time I usually get up +/- a couple of hours. I know why she does it and with the weird alarm clocks cats can be, but how do I keep her from scratching the door????
I rented the place, It's pretty new and I don't want to have to replace the door when I move out!
Any ideas?
