Hi All,

I have a one year old neutered male cat who is totally offended by
closed doors.  Due to our odd sleep schedules, we often nap in the
afternoon.  When one of us lays down, we close the door because the
cat, Charley, is likely to come in and play around or talk.  He's
really quite chatty.  Although he has the whole run of the house and
others may still be up to keep him company, he must go to the napper's
door and meow, stick his paw under the door and rattle it, or leap for
the door knob trying to open it.  This behavior usually gets him
stashed in another bedroom, and I usually go and lay down with him to
quiet him.  Lately, even that hasn't helped.  He pitches a hissy fit
that lasts around 15 minutes before finally resigning himself to the
inevitable.  Of course, the latter wouldn't be necessary if he'd just
leave the napper's door alone.

Any ideas?  Insight?  All thoughts appreciated.
Thanks!  Michelle
