Can anyone help me? My husband and I sleep with our door closed at night. My older cat, Giz has never had an issue with this.
HOWEVER ...
My younger kitten, Tigger will sit outside our door and scratch constantly. We'll be almost asleep and scratch, scratch, scratch... One of us will get up and shoo him away. An hour later scratch, scratch, scratch... We have tried the squirt bottle technique to some success. Now when he scratches and we get up, he's halfway down the hall by the time we open the door. It's like a game to him!
We've also tried the "ignore him and he'll stop" technique. Nope - it just makes him more persistent!
Any ideas on what we can do?
