Kitty Clink

So after almost a month of perfect nighttime behavior Coon relapsed, BAD.  Monday night we got 2 hours of sleep, maybe and thats counting the sleep yelling I was doing.  The remnants of valentines decorations on the dresser became his idea of a good time.

Visual picture 12 pounds of animal jumping onto a mirror to bite metal tinsel at 2 am . That wasn't loud enough so he started jumping from the dresser onto the wooden blinds to bang-bang them against the window.  So the easy solution is to raise all blinds and attempt to sleep with light pouring in.  That worked for all of 2 seconds. Back to the dresser he went.

Tuesday night the dresser was his bitch again. This time he actually managed to get some tinsel off. I was super annoyed until he started to eat said metal tinsel. Our past yelling, threatening stance, water bottle, and wooden spoon have no effect now. Because he is houdini and can open every stinkin door in this house including the ones that lead to outside I locked us in our room away from him.  That would have worked too except he knows he can open the door is he tries hard enough. Four hours of listening to him body slam, jump on the handle and scratch like a dog to get in was too much.

Last night B built him a kitty jail.  One locking handle removed from the bathroom and replaced in the laundry room.  He got three chances and off to the clink he went.  I removed all decorations hoping that would help. It did not, he choose to put more holes in my lamp shade. I removed said shade and he went after the bulb itself.  B had a long talk with him about how he was supposed to sleep and where appropriate play places were ect. The end of the talk resulted in telling coon he would go straight to jail where there was no bed, no food, and only a shitter to keep him company until morning.

He made it 10 minutes and off to jail he went, I was nice and gave him his bed.  What an ungrateful ass, He was not even happy to see us this morning. He acted like an entitled teenager and promptly showed us his disgust with his teeth.

Today I feel rested. Ace got to enjoy the bedroom without his brother. B got a full nights sleep which makes everybody happier.

P.s. its march first meaning I get to decorate today!
