Me, too ... so I was only suggesting that you remove your cat from the
bedroom for a few days to break the habit. In truth, I love to have my cats
with me at night, and if one wakes me up I just give him or her a few
scritches and roll over. However, I thought from your letter that the
situation you described was more aggressive (and maybe even intimidating).

Honestly, I get minor heart attacks when he does do it, I don't have the heart
to punish him. In other words, he is very spoiled and can get away with just
about anything. If the attacks caused me to have a major heart attack - I would
have a very different reaction..believe me! <g
