I suggested ways to keep Bongo awake during the day so he might sleep better at night

Bzzzt... Wrong. Cats are nocturnal. Nice try though.

Bongo quickly figured out the secret to getting anything you want in life is to ask for it at 3 o'clock in the morning.

Maybe I should try this with Mrs. SISU????? 8^)

waking Mrs. SISU at 3 am in the morning will get you anything you want? Don't say that too loud, please. You'll awake GG.

IPWs unite.

A firm no, then kick the cat out of your bed.

Contrary to myth competent humans can control cats.

You might consider a heated cat bed, especially for older cats.

I particularly like the remote hair dryer thing...seeing a cat hit the ceiling would be hysterical (I'm not too fond of the three cats I have, can you tell?)

Her DVM then requested my help with a behavior case analysis before Gloria lost her patience and started beating Bongo like a drum.

In other words, her DVM decided that "we can milk this ditz for all her money" before she did the one thing that would actually solve the problem.

Sometimes my cat will heard crashing through the house. Which is always fun because nothing will be disturbed, so we don't know what all the noise is caused by. It's my dog who wakes me up in the morning. When my husband leaves the bed, my dog will put his front paws on the bed and cry at me. If my cat comes into my room she'll just cuddle up on the bed. Otherwise, she won't talk to me unless I get up. Then, she'll rub up against me, tackle me, or stand in front of her cat dish and meow.

Cats aren't the problem for dirtboy. Cats fear dirtboy's size 13s.

Now if dirtboy could teach the dog not to stick her cold wet nose in the small of his back at 3AM, he'd be a lot happier.

What's the big damn deal? Close the bedroom door and don't let the cat in during the night.
