Question
Becky,
We have a cat that is about 5 months old. He has been fixed and is an inside cat. At night we close our door to the bedroom because for the first couple months when it was open he would come in and crawl all over us and keep us up all night long. But just recently he will sit outside of our door at night and meow for hours, sometimes hitting the door with his head or legs to get out attention. Is there anyway we can keep our door closed and have him stay queit for the night so we can sleep? Thanks! ~ Brittany

Answer
HI Brittany!

Awww come on ... he wants to sleep with you guys! Cats love to cuddle up in bed with their owners. Kittens usually settle down as they get older, so maybe now he will behave. I know what you mean though, as I have a new kitten and he will attack my feet! yikes!  Cats do NOT like closed doors,so I do not know what to tell you about keeping him quiet, except to let him in and scoot over!!

God Bless,
Becky
