Last night was another episode of the far-too-regularly-scheduled Kitty Steeplechase Olympics.

In other words, some time after bonacorsi comes to bed, Galen wakes up and decides that he wants attention and entertaining. Simply running about doesn't work, so he does things that are guaranteed to get one of us out of bed: knocking things off shelves, batting the blinds against the windows, and so forth.

One of us gets out of bed, cursing, and runs after the cat - squirting him as much as we can with the spray bottle. Galen gets soaked before he runs someplace relatively safe. He then spends half an hour sulkily grooming to remove the vinegar smell, by which point he's forgotten what he was doing and falls asleep.

Sigh.

Have you considered just getting up and locking him in the bathroom at the very first disturbance? No attention, no petting, just an unceremonious drop into the locked room which you have prepared in advance with litter box and towels and shower curtain out of reach.

After 3 times, it worked for me with Nimrod.

Good luck on the cat training.
