Perhaps a refresher of the exchange would help

Perhaps you missed the post directly above yours where I already answered this question?

I have never had to consciously train any cat not to keep me awake at night, it just naturally falls out of all the general training that takes place.

So the methods you’ve been harping on are actually to do nothing except let them roam and be curious, congrats on bragging about doing nothing. lol

Isn't that most people here's claim to fame?

I thought the goal here was to train them to not keep you awake at night, not to stifle their curiosity?

WGAF if they roam around and are curious as long as they don't wake you TF up?

Here is your refresher.

So since he has re-interjected me into this argument, I ask you Fred, what would you do to train such animals to behave contrary to their natural instinct, something they enjoy, and second why would you want to even do that?

WGAF if they roam? You obviously haven’t lived with curious Siamese cats who are constantly seeking out new things to get into.

Our exchange was never solely based on my sleep cycle. You claimed to have methods to prevent them getting into things but have yet to reveal anything except that you do nothing.

You saw the picture I posted. Also, at least one of yours is part Birman - not a Siamese - and my Birman lived with me for 19 years. Of all my cats he was the most mellow and laid back, causing the least amount of trouble.

Well guess what, my cats get in to ****ing everything lol We actually make games out of it, two of them are infatuated with twisty ties so I leave one hidden in remote areas, also if you saw how happy they were when they get to come in a restricted area, they’re purring in ecstasy. So by letting them free roam the whole house you take that pleasure away from them shame on you lol

In the video I saw they looked damned happy to be getting out! When they saw you coming they quickly ran up to the door lest you slam it closed again before they could escape.

Exactly, now you’re getting it. They are happy excited ready for the next quadrant to open up that they can explore, be loved sit on my lap watching Fox News, go to the tub for morning and evening streams to lap up like in the wild.

Free roamers lose all the excitement of exploring and new things. These cats are as stimulated as they were when they were kittens.

Try this, cut your cat off from one of his favorite rooms, half-day day whatever it takes for him to beg you to go back in there, and then when he goes back in put a new toy in there, rinse and repeat cut off new toy and make a game out of it keeps them on their “hunting” toes and they love it.

Now it’s possible your cat(s) are just lazy with weak hunting genes, if so disregard.

Sorry to bring it up, but out of those two options you're only eligible for the one.

When I lived in Texas, a couple that my ex-wife and I were friends with managed to train their cats to shit in the toilet instead of needing a littler box. We tried training our cats the same way, but they kept saying, "STFU, Porter" or something like that. Stubborn assholes
