Mwahaha! My little Bengals have driven us mad over the last few months, interrupting our sleep every night but not any more! We tried shutting them downstairs at night, but they let themselves up, EVERY TIME.
So we then started wedging a plank of wood under the door handle once we'd shut it so that they couldn't let themselves up. This worked for a little while, until Phoebe somehow summoned the strength to pull on the door handle so hard that she shifted the piece of wood, and let her and kitten (Vinnie) up to wake us and beg for food.
ARGHHHHHH!
Sleep deprived we thought of one more option - foolproof! My boyfriend took the door handle off, and put it back on upside down so that in order to open it, you have to pull it upwards - something that Phoebe catten cannot do......YET :-S
Anyway, we have defeated them and their clever little Bengal minds and now get a peaceful nights sleep every night! Much to their annoyance probably! lol
