Cat Yowls in Early Morning
To begin, I am a bit of an insomniac. I have often woken up at about 5:00
am, stayed up for about an hour, then gone back to sleep. But this happens once every few nights. Another important piece of information: my cat tends to want to destroy my wicker night table whenever he is in my room, so I have come to shutting my door on him at night. The result: Mico starts yowling at about 4:30 am for me to get up. And he just doesn't stop until I do. I'm not only concerned about myself, but also about my neighbours as I live in an urban apartment building. What can I do to stop this behavior? Options, please! This is *very* annoying. Thanks in advance, - Ruby Tuesday |

let the cat in, remove anything in the room he can annoy you with. we share
an office with our bedroom and have to put the office chairs in another room or the cats claw at them. "Ruby Tuesday" wrote in message ...

Wicker and cats don't mix. Please don't say you cant afford another little
piece of furniture, hunt around and get yourself something. Toss the wicker. -- Barb Of course I don't look busy, I did it right the first time. |

Looked through the Ikea catalogue and saw a night table I liked - will try to get it this weekend. Will give the wicker table to my landlady for her annual yard sale.

Thanks, - Ruby Tuesday I thought this was an interesting post, because I have 2 wicker chairs from IKEA, that I've had for ~12-13 years. They are in great shape and the cats DO like them, but they sleep in them (on cushions of course) and have never scratched them. Maybe it's that the legs aren't appealing, so the rest gets left alone too? Hmmm....I have a wicker chair in my kitchen that the cat has done a minor bit of damage to. The wicker TV table that I use as a night table though, I don't know why the cat loved it to smithereens, maybe because he wanted my attention. Last night after I decided to toss the wicker TV table I let Mico scratch away at it, and then he stopped. Then he went after one of the bamboo hangings I have on my wall. Found out I wouldn't stop him, and that they wouldn't tear, so he stopped, then went to sleep. Cats...sheesh! - Ruby Tuesday Wicker BASKETS OTOH, have all gone away over the years - they seem to be popular pee spots :-(.
