I've tried the spray bottle, but she just keeps coming back. She's totally relentless and stubborn and just won't give up. I've never had a cat like this before. Good thing for her she's so cute and cuddly! :) Now that’s sneaky!!

They hate water and the spraying action. Works wonders with Cato when he's yowling for food. Cato definitely knows that he can get what he wants from Mike, but he won't bug me.

Pillow/book throwing, unceremoniously dropping him out of my bed, earplugs, and the like have just given him the time to figure out the next tactic. And let me assure you, the moment I hear that cat scratching at the kid's doors, I am instantly awake and leap out of bed. Because once the kids are up, they're up, and they whine. Incessantly. The other day Callum had a rough night, desperately needed the sleep, and there goes the cat... I think if I could have caught Saffron, I would have killed him. well, maybe not, but it's a hard call, I was furious. His mission was accomplished, though. I was out of bed and available to do his bidding even though I DON'T. I just go back to my own bed, but he is not deterred.

What is worse for you, having to get up so early or pick up some of their catches?

Don't let her get you out of bed...flip a pillow or slipper at her...works wonders. What about coaxing her downstairs with some treats...or disregard her completely when she wants to return via upstairs.....You could put earplugs in too!!!!!!!!! .You could put earplugs in!!!!!!! I have been there....done that...... Now that the cats are older ( maybe wiser? ) they seem to wait 'til they hear the alarm.... jx You are only re-enforcing Audrey’s hold over you.
