Ever since our move to our new home in Silver City Tom has been plagued with the sleep disturbing habits of our three four legged house mates. It was either one animal or the other that was barking, meowing etc etc at early morning hours(I'm talking 3am or 4 am). I sleep much sounder than Tom so it has always been Tom that wakes and tends to whatever the problem be.Scooby-Doo and Sophie are settling into a proper nightime routine but the remaining nightime pet problem has been with Fifi and the door rattling trick that she had learned in the Mancos house. It involves sticking a paw under the closed bedroom door and rattling the door. Well, she discovered it works well in our and her new home also. Tom has in the past used the spray water bottle treatment to break other habits, such as climbing on kitchen cabinets so he decided that this would also work on the door rattling pesky cat. You know the old trick of kids ringing the doorbell and running? Now , after having been squirted with water a couple times, Fifi rattles the door and by the time Tom is there with the waterbottle to spray her there is no cat in sight when he opens the door. I would really like for Tom have a full nights sleep, but I think Fifi has outsmarted us on this game. I'm trying a throw rug under the door next so her paw won't fit under. We'll see how this goes! Meantime, afternoon naps are being had by all!
