Just as well I suppose...the cat has been giving me the squirrely eye for the last hour and a half..."Go to bed, HouseApe!" I know that's what she's thinking...

Hey...life exists in the hive...
Not bad. Just seeing if anyone was about before I decided whether or not to pack it in and get some sleep.

Dang, I don't think I've ever seen my cat awake for an hour and a half straight before. He sleeps way to much except at night where I swear he's always about jumping all over the bed. Got so bad that I no longer let the cat into my room at night. Either he can be happy or I can be happy and selfishly, I would rather be happy because a happy night means a happy day. Bad night means tired and bad day.
The cat; well, he sleeps too much to feel TOO sad about that, me thinks.

Mine prefers mostly to be up when I'm home and up, though is easily distracted by Screen Door TV (TM). But just dislikes me staying up much past midnight. She often comes up on the bed, but never wakes me, just uses me as a giant pillow. I trained her (with Mr. Spray Bottle) when I first got her, that noise when all the lights were out was unacceptable.
And she's ok with that...

I think the problem with my cat is that there's two other people in this house and while I attempted to train him - been a while; don't remember exactly what anymore - the fact that the other two people allowed those bad habits made the training not stick. I think the one thing I got is that the cat doesn't claw my chair, but that's because it's in my room and the cat is only in my room when I'm in it and I can control the space around my chair.
*claw* *smack* *run* after numerous times, he learned not to claw that chair - woulda been less except that there's another chair in the house that the cats have used as a clawing device and they had been accustomed to clawing it...

Yeah, I had full control over the environment, which goes a long way to managing any attempts at getting the pet in question to learn what is good to go.
It took until this year to really get her to not claw furniture - a combination of Mr. Spray Bottle, and putting a scratching post NEXT to the couch. Once she figured out the difference, she started following the scratching post to wherever I put it to claw, because she figured out she wouldn't get all wet if she used it.
