my cat and I used to live alone together in my own apt. I left the bedroom door open so she could wander in and out at night and she was usually good about being quiet at night.
Now we live in an apt with two other roommates. All my cat's things are in my room, so I'd like to just shut the door when we go to bed. But the problem is if she hears anything going on in the living room at night or early in the AM she meows constantly asking to let out.
I don't think my roommates like it when she wanders free at night because they don't have bedroom doors and she bothers them while they're sleeping.
Is there anyway I can train her to be quiet at night? Maybe shut in her cage in the bathroom for awhile if she's doing it, so she'll understand she can't always get what she wants by meowing at people when they're sleeping?
