How can I stop my cat from climbing onto the bed?
Expert Answer
A cat may like to climb onto the bed because the bed feels more comfortable, or because it carries the owner’s scent, which gives the cat a strong sense of security. First, prepare a warm, comfortable cat bed so the cat finds sleeping in its own bed more pleasant. Second, put an item of the owner’s clothing in the bed to provide a sense of security.
Finally, keep stopping the cat from getting on the bed. The owner can usually keep the bedroom door closed to keep the cat out. If the cat slips into the room, the moment you notice it about to climb onto the bed, stop it promptly, so the cat slowly drops the bad habit.
