This is something as a family that we never did until we got cats. Our door is shut as well as my daughters. It feels kinda weird because I worry if there is a fire etc...
The first day we brought the first kitty home (she is 3 years old & has a bell on collar)she would not let us sleep. She would walk in and out of the room meowing, jump on the bed, off the bed etc. I finally took bell off around 2:00 am. Now we have two cats and I can tell in the morning when I get up that they have played all night...the living room is a wreck. lol.
I actually thought about letting our doors back open and taking the bells off to see how the react. I just can't afford not to sleep.
All I picture in my mind is one cat doing a zillion miles an hour into the bedroom, across our faces and out again
What do you all think? Anyone deal with this? My vet metioned that he had clients that shut their door because of the cats but in winter they could not because the wood burning stove needed to heat the house. So they put a screen door on their bedroom door so they could get heat in the room but no cat.
