Does he scratch on it when the door is closed? Perhaps he wants to get in.

lol yup he does it when its closed but he knows he's not allowed in there... like last night he woke my mom up at 4am lol...
That's probably why he is scratching it then because he wants to get in and he is not allowed.

Well i mean he has never done this before and I have had him for 3 years
None of my cats do this except Bakker started about a week ago because he wants to go outside. The other cats will sit at the door, Bobs looks at the door handle (hello its not going to open by itself!!) I tell Bakker to knock it off and don't give in otherwise he will be learning that the door scratching will be acceptable behavior.
It's probably just that he doesn't understand why he's allowed everywhere but that ONE ROOM. It's the kitty curiousity coming out in him. After a time of living without permission into that room, he'll stop scratching. Ours aren't allowed into the bathroom, and at first scratched to get in, but have since decided it's not worth their effort anymore to complain about it. The only other rooms we close are our bedroom doors when we're sleeping, and they've even gotten used to that. Hope that helps!
