How do you un-train a cat to sleep in your bedroom, without the cat clawing the closed door apart?

Pretty much, you don't.

If you even try, your cat will take it as personal affront, and your relationship could be ruined.

Remember, a cat has the mental capacity of about a 1 1/2 year old. If you shut the door and don't let them in the bedroom, kitty has no idea WHY she's being refused, only that she is. There's no way for her to ask you what she did wrong. The only thing kitty knows is you don't like her anymore, because you don't want her around.

some cats could properly be chuffed indoors, in spite of if it looks like yours probable would not have adequate stimulation throughout the time of the day? my old cat scratches at doorways while there closed, yet while she's in she'll jsut cool down on the mattress and sleep (normally on feet). in the evenings attempt to tire your cat out somewhat, a superb toy for this could properly be an trouble-free laser pen or the classic piece of string, relies upon what your cat likes to play with quite. as for the feet attacking, unsure what length your mattress is or something yet once you will get a sheet which will dangle over the ends of the mattress, that ought to furnish your feet a lil greater secure practices. even in door abode cats ought to workout and circulate through there organic procedures, and of direction there hunters, in case you could stimulate this act then optimistically you will get an excellent nights sleep.

Just keep the cat shut out of the room and after awhile they'll get used to it and not claw the door anymore. You just have to live with the clawing until then.

Yes.....this has happened in our family many times. I found it best to put mine in his house at the bedside. That way, he is still close to me, can hear me snore and so on. After a week or so, I put the house in the living room and after another week, I let him go free at night. (His house is actually one of those soft crates used to train dogs. It works just a well for my boy) I dont see this a cruel, at all. We have a right to live in our homes as we see fit. Asking kitty to sleep in another room is both reasonable and understandable. Just give her time to adjust slowly. The key is to minimize damage to your door AND let her know she is still loved. Keep her crated until she gets used to the idea of a closed door.

That is not going to be easy. Try orange peels. Cats dislike the smell. Put some on your bed, and put some outside the door to your room.

Good luck.

Please don't use frank or kbay's ideas, the carrier is cruel, cats need space, and the hot peppers are WAY too hot for cats, they have extremely heightened senses, I don't understand why you would kick your cat out now. Why? if it is just because you don't want to sleep with him/her, then you shouldn't. and, if you feel that you must get her out, then at least leave the door open in case she gets scared or frightened(or he).

hot pepper. Once the cat licks this off his paws, i can guarantee you he won't go near the door ever again;. try to attach a cloth soaked in tobasco sauce onto where he scratches.

No I've never tried to do that because I consider it very cruel. Since your cat now has no one to sleep with I suggest you adopt another cat so he won't feel so lonesome.

right outside your bedroom or anywhere in your house, just put a cat carrier ther and at night put him/her int there and after about two weeks he/she will like it there..
