    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.
