Mary,I sometimes wish that my furkids would all sleep out in the other room too. After I painted, they did for quite a while because I had cooped them in my bedroom for such a long time that they were dying to get out. Then Sky and Storm wanted to sleep with me which is fine because they're very good quiet cats and once they settle in they usually don't get up and about until the next morning.

Then Pearl and Sunny started wanting to come in and if I didn't let them in then they'd keep me awake all night by howling and scratching at my door. I used to just prop my door open a little bit with a door stop so they could come and go during the night but Ziggy is still in the playing stage and wants to play and get into everything during the night. Starr's been battling colitis and IBD problems so I also didn't want him to have an accident in my bedroom.

Now things have improved with Starr and Ziggy is starting to calm down a bit so I hope to be able to prop open my door with the door stop again. I'll try it during my holiday vacation break. Right now I have to keep getting up to let cats in and out during the night so I never get a good nights sleep and I'm always so tired in the morning. I hope that things will work out for you and for me too.
