I know this has been discussed over and over again so I apologise that I am about to bring it up again but nothing I have read seems to relate enough to my situation.
Our boys have full run of the house at night. The only room they are not allowed in is our bedroom - we sleep with the bedroom door closed.
In the past week Cedar has started scratching at the door in the mornings. He has never done this before and I am unsure what has started it.
Apparently he starts at about 6am but I never hear him until about 7.30am.
We give them some food before bedtime so its not that he is hungry (well to be honest he probably is hungry but this cat could eat all day long!!)
I myself would be more than happy to just open up the door and let them into the bedroom but unfortunatly one of the rules in our house was that the cats were not to sleep with us
its a small compromise I believe considering chris is not the cat person in this relationship. This scratching is driving Chris insane - and I mean insane!!
I know the usual advise is to feed them before bedtime but this as I mentioned I have already done.... what action can I take to let Cedar know that this is not good behaviour?
thankyou for any advise
