    Miss excited - the only way I've found is to close the door! We have a screen door seperating the bedrooms from the rest of the house to keep the cats out (and now DS is a toddler its also great 'cause he can't roam the house when we're asleep.)

    Miss excited - I agree, close the door! It's the only way if your cat is beyond training!

    Schaz - don't ya just love the grass ones?? Hairballs are another common one around here, 3 out of 5 of the are *cough* domestic short hairs who just happen to be part persian!

    We keep all the rooms with carpet shut. Our cat has medium length fur so she gets the furball formula dry food regularly. Thankfully she prefers to sleep in the box at the bottom of her scratch post, so all the fur is on that or me when she wants to cuddle. We have cream coloured carpet in the bedrooms and study and cream tiles everywhere else. Cat sick is often dark brown or orange so not good on cream carpet!!

    Our handsome boy Boo-Boo (christened 'Eric' but got nicknamed 'Fatty Boom-Bah' and then shortened to 'Boo-Boo' or 'Boomie') has taken to sleeping on the kitchen bench all day - it's the only place in the house that the dog can't snap at him!!
    Buddy is an inside/outside cat (ie inside at night, out first thing in the morning) and most of the time he sleeps on a chair on the verandah, or under the car in the driveway.
    Paris will sleep anywhere she damn well pleases, but prefers things like DH's dirty work clothes, towels left on the floor, and laundry baskets full of freshly-dried clothes. Oh, and laying all over DD's stuffed toys that she leaves lying around.

    Since my last reply, Jerry has claimed the linen cupboard, and all the linen in it The girls usually can't get to her in there and she can open the sliding doors with her paws.
