    Hi NAT,

    that's exactly the problem

    one of our cats wakes the wife up by nibbling her foot, one morning we chucked him out so we could go back to sleep, a minute later there was a scream - Miss Micro V had been woken by the cat.

    Reverse psychology doesn’t work, which is a shame, cause you could tape up the flap lightly and they would then try to get in

    Ear plugs and ignore. Started wearing ear plugs after living next to an airport. You think a cat is loud!

    Have to say though the pilots weren't bothered about me ignoring them, they never tired of unnecessarily revving their jet engines over the house.

    You do just have to ignore them unfortunately. They eventually get the message. Eventually.

    I've met your lovely wife and as delightful as she is I'd suggest you've got this the wrong way round

    we came to a compromise and she got another kitten.
    Way to go girl.

    If you've had them neutered you could try getting it reversed. When they wake up at 4am with a morning glory they'll bugger off looking for a source of relief for a bit and come back and have a post nookie nap till midday.
    Works a treat I can tell you.
