My new roomate has two cats, and they are easy to get along with and I love cats. But if I'm in my room I like to leave the door open, and they come in and sit all over my bed. I am allergic to cats. I have to grab them and take them off like 5 or 6 times before I throw them out. I really don't want to be itching all night but I feel bad about kicking them out. I know its not a good way to make them as my friends but I'm hoping they realize that they can't just come in here and do what they please.

well, the best thing to do is close the door.

other than that, i dont think theres a way to stop them from coming in.

When they try to come in, clap your hands once, loudy, and say no. It worked for my cat.

A few suggestions...

Aluminum foil----rip a few feet off the roll and lay it on the floor right inside your doorway. Most cats hate that stuff.

Balloons----blow up a few and tape them to the floor in your doorway.

These would work, too:

Have a spray bottle of water handy and when they jump on your bed spray the back of their head/neck. They hate it and will get the message pretty quickly.

...Or if they're anything like mine, you can try alllll of the above methods and they'll still jump on the kitchen counter/table/wherever you don't want them, so you'll be forced realize it's best to give up and accept the fact that you've been beaten by something that licks its own asshole and sleeps 20 hours a day.

Damned adorable things!
