Ok well we went to bed at 10.30pm and Lexie came too of course, this time i gave her some food, really it was a bit extra, not that this little tubby girl needs an extra, she chomped it up eagerly and then went to sleep,i guess about 5.30 am she went and used her litter box, i swear she was digging to china, it went on and on and on, then she did her wailing miaow, only one this time, then she proceeded to claw all around under the bed,then she decided to sit on the bed and settle again, by this time i was almost ready to get up, so i did at 5.45am,she was not quite as bad as usual, but then she does have the odd night where she is good, i honestly think she just want's outside.

Now the issue with the cat door, is this, my husband and I have different views regarding this, he wanted to build something we could put across it at night time so they could not break it or escape as lexie has done, must add none of the other cats have been that smart and worked it out,but i was against it, because if there were a fire they would be completely trapped, at least the way it is they may actually figure it out and get out if they needed to, i guess i am a bit paranoid about there being a fire and my furbabies being trapped, so i am not sure this is the answer for me,even if it is the solution, i am not sure i would be at ease with it,still we may have to look at that option yet i guess,thank you all for your input and time to come by and post. Cheers.
