Hey guys. So I tried night one of putting him in a room with all of the goods and he definitely meowed for like 15 mins straight to get out. he also scratched a nice chunk of paint off of the wall. So i let him out and went with plan me. He started meowing and his fave time and i ignored him and he eventually gave up and I could hear him playing in the living room. so, not giving him the attention he wants made him stop. I am going to continue this and see if it works. so far so good (ish).

thanks guys
