Why, this is my rut, nor am I out of it.

A pattern has developed in recent weeks:

1. I go to bed. Galen sometimes curls up around my legs.
2. An hour or two later, I am awakened by Galen thrashing around the bedroom. Sometimes tipping over things on the dresser, sometimes clawing at the window - but always enough to wake me and prevent me from getting back to sleep.
3. I throw him out of the bedroom and close the door.  The wife then has to entertain him until she comes to bed.

I'm not thrilled with this, but I am at a loss as to how to stop it. We've talked about getting Galen a buddy to stop him being bored, but our place is smaller than I'd like for two cats. Also, there's no room for another litterbox.

If you give her what she's asking for, you're just reinforcing her behavior.

I know....but if I don't, she destroys my property. It's tough to lie in bed and tell myself to ignore it when all I can think about is how much it's going to cost to recarpet the condo. It's a no win.
