Drizzle is a smart and sensitive little boy. If he believes someone he loves is behind a closed door - most of the time, my Mom, his Grammy - then he cries and cries and cries at that door so they'll open it up. It's a heart wrenching cry you can't ignore in the slightest, as if he's crying, "WHY?!?!" and you just want to hug him and make him feel all better. The problem is, he'll do it any time of night. From 3 AM to 7 AM to whenever, if he thinks someone is behind the door.
There are only two rooms this happens at, my Mom's bedroom door, and the Powder Room door downstairs, which my mom keeps her work clothes in usually, so it obviously smells of her to him. The powder room problem is simple; we just keep that door open a lot of the time. The bedroom, though, is a problem. My mom insists on "her own space" - a place for her to go with no Kittens. I can respect this, but it seems Drizzle can't, and with me, what he wants he gets, lol. I spoil him rotten.
So, short of convincing Mom to let him in, how can I stop him from crying at the door and get him to come see me down the hall? He wakes me up daily, anymore, because he wants his Grammy. It's sweet, but it's also a bit rude to me cause I'm trying to sleep, not to mention he could just hug me
Ideas?
