Well, in some ways last night was better.
She wasn't very keen on going to bed, because she knew she was going to bed, but once she was in there it was quiet. For about an hour, when she started up again. She took a break between 12:30 and 1:30, and then had another hour or so of trying to escape. I had set the dishwasher going before I went to bed, so it's possible that the hour of quiet was until there stopped being a noise in the kitchen.
(I was fast asleep until I woke to find a very cold Mike getting back into bed, having been to tell her off. Mike's gone back to bed now, being a much lighter sleeper than I am.)
She has done less damage to the door this time, but there seemed to be more thuds and less scratching.
Things tried last night:
- putting her in her bed for short periods of time during the day (made her reluctant to go in there, even with treats (this is almost amusing, as she usually follows me to the loo, but now wavers about trying to decide if she'll get trapped or not)
- leaving the radio on (may try moving this to the kitchen tonight, on the same principle as the dishwasher)
- giving her one of my blankets (I'd put it in her favourite living room lying spot in the evening, which she seemed fine with, and then moved it to her bed. This morning, I've moved it back to the living room and she's now lying on the rug instead as it is apparently Tainted)
Things to try:
- keep putting her in there during the day. Less / no fuss when she comes out?
- switch the light off (we had thought she'd be happier with a light on in the laundry, but will try the other way and see)
- radio on in the kitchen
I may take my book and go and sit on her bed to read for a bit. |
