My two cats (1 x black half siamese and 1 x ginger) have this annoying habit of whining outside my door when I sleep at night… It was really endearing at first but then it (obviousely) just got annoying. I have tried everything to keep them away even creating a barrier that I had to build up each night and deconstruct each morning (actually the morning part is my flat mates job as she gets up earlier than me).
What I can’t understand is that they never sleep with us, we don’t let them in when they cry, their litter box gets cleaned once a day, they have food, water and toys (and a comfy bed upstairs), yet they are persistent in their crying.
Finally a solution arrived yesterday in the form of my Greek builder friend, who brought me a LARGE plank of wood to put up in the passage way (which ufortunately does not have a door to separate it from the rest of the flat). After a little manipulation (the plank is REALLY heavy), we finally managed to sort out a large enough barrier that my freakishly clever siamese kitty can’t jump over (or figure out how to wiggle around/through/over).
So finally we had a good nights sleep no crying AT LAST! Lets hope my siamese doesn’t figure out a way to scale the 7 foot tall plank of wood, otherwise I’m screwed!
