Today, I faced a dilemma. If I don't let the cat sleep in my bedroom, she spends all night howling at the door, waking up my 2-year-old in the process. If I do let her in, the dog gets distressed and chews the contents of the bin. If I let both of them in, I have no room to sleep. FML

Hey, OP here. For all of those who suggest drowning/bludgeoning/killing my cat, shame on you. I really hope you don't have a pet. For those of you who kindly suggested crating my dog, It's a good suggestion that I will keep in mind. My home is a two bedroom affair, I don't have a spare room to shut them in. My cat is a very nervous kitty, she was a kitten that came from a home with lots of young boys poking and prodding her and prefers the serenity and calmness I give to her. She becomes immensely stressed when I'm nowhere to be found. As for the dog, he is actually my boyfriend's dog and his is a case of boredom. Without the cat to play with during the night, he becomes mischievous and searches for trouble. No matter how well you plan, you'll never get everything and inevitably, there will be something he's shredded. Be it bin contents, washing or, once, the cat litter. Despite the numerous toys he has available. Our bed is a small double, and fitting a dog and a cat into the space barely meant to contain two adults is difficult. Adding a 2-year-old on top of that is a nightmare. For the moment, we're resigned to continue things the way they are. Your friendly OP - SweetheartSusie.

Since when are pet owners allowed room to sleep? Just lay where you want and let them settle in around you, sealing you in place like cement because you don't want to move and disrupt them.

When ever they get new neighbors... Might want to read more FMLs Dylan. FML has no boundaries.

Well, seems like the solution would be to get rid of both of them

Dogs also don't clean themselves as well as humans do after going to the bathroom. We also shower 1-2x per day so we aren't dirty when going to bed.

I put my cats to bed in their "own" room (a spare bedroom with their water, a litterbox, cat beds, blankets, etc) when I go to bed. I would move them to their cat beds and give them treats every night once they were there, and they eventually became trained to voluntarily go sit in their cat beds whenever I would say "it's bedtime". They stay there quietly until I let them out the following morning. Maybe you would have some luck if you had a similar bedtime routine for your animals as well?

If we put 2 and 2 and maybe also 3 together, we get very interesting results... *twirls beard* ImACat is masquerading as a human neighbour, ******** all over people's windshields and then blaming on people such as poor, old Bertha down the street. Unacceptable!

Try crate training your dog, and empty the bin every night to the outside trash can so the dog doesn't get into it.

I don't think I've ever been shipped before. Be slow, this is my first time; I don't want a hull breach.

Just wondering if you let your child have this much control over you to. My cats don't get on the bed with me until I'm asleep.
