This was my first thread:
I have 2 cats. Jada and Bella. Every night we kick them out of the room so they can get used to the fact they wont be able to sleep with us when our baby comes. Well when we close the door Jada will scratch under the door so we can let her in. Keep in mind we have carpet and we are renting. We tried water bottle, sticky paws, more tape, and foil. She stills scratches it off. I dont understand. So when I give up and let her in and I lay back in the bed. She then will get on the bed stare at me and meow and do that chirping noise or whatever it is. It's loud. its so annoying especially at 5am-6:30am!! So when I follow her to see what she wants she will lead me to the living room and she will just lay there and stretch out and I guess wants me to pet her. I dont know what to do. I just ordered the soft paws but is she going to keep trying to get in the room? How can I stop her from doing it? It sounds like someone is trying to break in the room. I just want her to stop before the baby arrives!! Any advice???
Ok I got the soft paws on Friday afternoon. I put them on her and thank goodness she really didnt mind to much. So I thought we were going to have a nice night. NO! she still scratched! I then put the rest of the sticky paws to see if it will work even with the soft paws. Nope. Still doing it. So my husband had enough and locked her in the laundry room. Tell me why she ESCAPED!!! He closed the door and she still managed to get out. I thought maybe he didnt close it all the way. So lastnight she kept doing it so I put her in the laundry room. Not even 5 freaking mintues and she was on the bed meowing away. I couldnt believe it! How the hell did she get out??? Nothing stops this cat, nothing. Meanwhile her sister Bella is an angel! She doesnt meow and she doesnt do anything like Jada. She actually sits there and watches Jada do these things. I even went to put a shirt where she has been scratching and taped it to the carpet. It finally worked and she let me sleep until 6:30am rolled around and she was at it again. I have no idea what to do. Im having a baby and I need all the sleep I can get before she gets here. And I know that when the baby is here she is going to keep doing it and wake her up. What else can I do!! I need some advice big time!!!!!
