Cat Scratch Fever

[c9]

Every night, just after we go to bed, one of the cats will visit our bedroom door and scratch it to get our attention. This is probably Lucky, lonely. Then again in the morning, before we feel like getting up, one will visit our bedroom door and rather insistently scratch to let us know that it's time to get up and feed them. This is almost assuredly Action Cat, starving to death since he hasn't eaten in 7.5 hours.

I need a solution, or we may go mad. My current plan is to find one of those small-child-tunnel things, except the even smaller cat-size one, and lay it down in front of the door each night. That way they can play, and even cry, but scratching will be tougher as they won't be able to reach the door itself. *bliss*

If they prove to be well-behaved after this plan, we may reward them with a Cat Spa. Both are only $20, so except for the minor detail of all my debt, I might just go for both.

Sell your place, move into a place that has mice. They'll be too busy catching their food to bother waking you up, and they'll get enough excercise so that you don't have to worry about them getting fat.

You can tell them it's a 24 hour buffet/aerobics workout all in one.

You've never owned cats, have you. Cats eat the yummy parts of the mice, and then leave the carcasses around the house to surprise you.

Or they catch and wound the mouse, but then let it run around inside the house for sport. Think little bloody mouse footprints. :)
