| The only thing I can suggest is always keeping the guest room door closed,
so that Erick will learn to consider the door closed a normal condition.

| Put something in front of the door that the cat doesn't like to
step on.
Junior can't stand to step on any of those "artificial grass" type
doormats and will avoid them at all costs. What one cat hates, another
may love however.

| Re .3:
If your cat is like mine are, they won't step on whatever it is;
they'll stand on the other side of it and complain even _more_ loudly
than before!
Never underestimate the persistence of a determined cat!

| RE: .4
Or they might do like mine; lock out both cats because one is pesting
you, and the other complains LOUDLY. I have the choice of having
one cat walk all over me when I'm trying to sleep (sometimes) or
locking them out of the bedroom and having the other one desperately
trying to get to see me.
The complainer is a real sweet little guy and I don't like having
to do this to him. I can't wait for the other one to grow up so
she will behave too.
I haven't found anything that they are unwilling to step in other
than water. I don't like just locking her out because he would
be unable to get to the litter box or the food and water. Besides,
then she would complain because she misses her playmate.

225.6 | damaged carpet too! | APACHE::CLEMONS | | Tue Apr 15 1986 13:12 | 22 |
| I have had the same problem with one of my cats when I close him out of our
bedroom. I hate to do this, but I am a little allergic to cats.
Sebastian is really a "mommy's-boy" and follows me everywhere, curls up where
ever I sit and therefore will sit outside the bedroom door at night
and cry very loudly. When that doesn't work he begins clawing at the carpet.
(its a good thing we planned on replacing that carpet anyway) He also seems
to like to wait until about 2am to do this ritual, when he knows it will get
our attention the most. Then when I finally go out to get him he's purring
and affectionate as if I had nothing better to do at 2am then to pet him!
The only solution I have been able to come up with is to use cat repellent
spray. It smells awful, like rotting onions, but I spray a little on a paper
towel and leave it in front of the door (HIS side) and pick it up in the
morning. I guess Sebastian isn't real wild about the smell either.
So far this has worked every time, but he doesn't do that every night.
Good luck!
