Okay, I posted the message about my cat scratching at the windows and walls at night. Quick question about crate training, because I think we could use that in this next situation:
Lexx has been doing the scratching and meowing at 4:30-5:00 AM consistently for over a week...like clockwork! I had been placing him outside the room and closing the door, which worked once or twice, but now he just claws at the door. So, my husband was ready to throw him in his cage and put him as far fromt he bedroom as possible, but I wanted to check first with other people. Is it cruel to keep him caged from 4:30-7:00 AM? It's only 2 1/2 hours, which isn't long for dogs, but would that be wrong for a cat? This problem is the only thing we'd use this type of "training" for. Thoughts?
Thanks again!
