I just pulled a towel over my face and refused to react to their play. It only took 2 weeks (four years apart) to teach them that Bed is for Sleep. DJ, ehh, not so much! After 5 months, he's the best sleeper in the world. Until exactly 415 AM, when he decides to sandpaper my lips and nose by obsessively licking me, and kneading my neck with his claws out. Around 620, he begins pouncing my face, claws out. So he either gets thrown out of the bedroom at 415, or on work nights, he's not allowed in in the first place. I have no idea whether his foster mom let him sleep with her, but I'm guessing she didn't. But maybe the biggest factor is that Killsy and Byron were trained at 7 weeks, but DJ came to live me when he was 11 weeks. Is there an age window where the training works?

I like the part about walking over us. I am very lucky, only one cat is allowed in the bedroom with me at night and that is the 19 year old. The rest somehow have learned that that is her room. .-= Marg Elmendorf´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.margsanimals.com/blogs/index.php/margspets/mygoats/goats-goats-and-more-goats" rel="nofollow">Goats, goats and more goats</a> =-.
