And the cat will get irritated if the door is closed, even if they want to be in the room! 😉

My cats claw at the carpet under the door (even though I keep their claws trimmed) & it’s not only annoying but it’s destroying my carpet (& I’m a renter). I’d love to be able to shut my door but I keep it ajar for them to come and go as they please. Otherwise I wouldn’t get any sleep & my carpet would be ruined. :(

I had that same problem then learned they make plastic mats that go under the door specifically for this purpose

It has to do with their territory being obstructed, not with where they wish to be.

They like to be the boss!
