My wife and I are having a *horrible* time with one of our cats. At around 3 am every night, he begins scratching on the walls of our bedroom. He used to tap the blinds on the windows to wake us up, now he simply claws the crap out of the walls.
Not only do I desperately need a good night's sleep, but he's tearing up my walls too. We have tried everything I can possibly think of, I can't even figure out why he keeps doing this. He's so used to either being sprayed with the water bottle or yelled at, that he immediately bolts the second one of us sits up in bed, but then he's back and doing it again as soon as we fall back asleep.
I'm just getting to the point where I am seriously starting to dislike this animal, I used to like him so much but ever since this behavior started he is nothing but a problem. My wife and I both have to be up early to work, and being woken up frequently starting at 3 am is not doing much for us sleep-wise.
Help!
