    Two of my cats would stand outside and scream meow for at least an hour before giving up. The chaos goblin would accept this is her life and go lay on the couch before realizing she has free run of the kitchen and start fucking up all the cereal boxes full of crinkly paper. The oldest goes under doors. There is no stopping her. She will find you.

        No closing the doors well I’m in them resonated with me. Also getting headbutted well I try to poop.

        I have very recently adopted a cat. She’s super loveable but full of kitten energy sometimes, very much this gif. She darts for any noise in full hunt mode once the sun sets.

      I’ve been looking into this but haven’t pulled the trigger yet lol

      Is there a model that may be better for interior doors?

        I ended up installing a cat door too. Grabbed one at my local hardware store and installed it easily. This one has red tabs (looks like an old model, the new ones have an easy selector knob) that allow you to set it so that it acts as a one-way door in either direction, or lock it both ways. Comes in handy for different days. This one is made by PetSafe, but I’m sure they’re all the same.

    What do you do if your cat tries wake you up by biting paper, turning on lights, and opening/closing cabinets?

    Asking for myself. It’s been 15 years without a good solution…

      I give up, pat the bed beside me where she jumps up, demands some pets then eventually curls up on her own special blanket and goes back to sleep for a couple hours.

      Relentless affection always seemed to work well for me. Hugs and forehead kisses until they are desperately trying to get away, and more if they come back and continue. indirect pestering… blanket purrito?

        Sounds to me like your cat has trained you to play with him even in your sleep.
