Scratching carpet at doors
Hi

My cats are driving me crazy – particularly my current queen whom has a litter in one of the bedrooms.
I have to keep her door open else she scratches at the carpet to get out and ruins it. But for the last 2 nights she has been scratching at our bedroom door to be let in and is ruining the carpet there now. And although I have let her in I wouldn’t mind if she settled on the bed but she doesn’t – she keeps us awake by snooping around and trying to get into cupboards and things and basically making a nuisance of herself.
Any ideas how to deter it????

Re: Scratching carpet at doors
There was another thread about wired and some people suggested putting some spray you can get down which they will not like, would that be any good?

Re: Scratching carpet at doors
She's obviously not happy where her kittens are and wants to be in your room with you. My hubby is'nt keen on the cats being in our bedroom either, but when we have kittens they go in there anyway. I'd rather have a happy mam looking after her babies in my bedroom than one thats stressing herself out and potental to abandon them or worse.
