SCAT! YOU CATS!

Yeah, I'm talking about you (looking at my 4 innocent eyed felines at this moment).  My trusty little furry critters are tag teaming me in the middle of the nite and very early morning hrs.  They are scratching at my bedroom door.  Sooo of course, they wake me up and I have to chase whichever cat it is down the stairs (cuz of course, they think it is a jolly game and all), then snatch them up and put them in the dungeon AKA the xtra room in the house.  It's like having a baby wake me up consistently and I don't have BABIES anymore.  Like HELLO!!  I'm losing precious sleep*yawn*.

I picked a coworker's brain yesterday (she is a cat person poor girl) and she uses a ScatMat at her bedroom door at nite.  I guess this little gizmo gives sort of a lite shock or current, keeping the beasts inline more or less.  Hey, at this point I'm ready to try anything.

I've done the spray bottle with water, I've done the dungeon, which really isn't working that well anymore, so what?  Cattle prod, firehose, what?  Unfortunately my local Petsmart didn't have them, so I will have to check out Petco this weekend.  Hopefully, by next week I will be sleeping thru the nite.
