Hello!
My cat and I have just moved into an apartment with a roommate after previously living alone. For a variety of reasons, I’ve chosen to keep Poppy in my room at night with the door closed. The main reason being that my roommate comes and goes so often in the evening and Poppy is an escape artist and tries to exit the building if not carefully watched.
Poppy has grown increasingly more resistant to coming into my room before bed and has resorted to hiding under the couch, under the table or getting aggressive when approached around bed time. (She has a history of aggression, so this isn’t too terribly unusual for her but difficult nonetheless)
I’m wondering if anyone has any tips other than just let her roam around at night? I’ve tried coaxing her with treats, toys, etc. All of her cat things are in my room as well, her litter box, food, cat tree, tunnels, etc.
