Wrt the bedtime thing cats are territorial and some will get a lot of anxiety about not being able to access their whole territory for patrol, etc. So if you're putting them in a room at night closed off you may be stressing your cat out and that's why she's fleeing. If I put my cat in a room too long the escape attempts and complaining are epic.
It's not for everybody but I kind of find that "pal, you don't _own_ me" look when my cat knows what I'm asking but doesn't feel like it endearing.
- morganvachon 10y agoShe's definitely the more primal of the pair. She has been known to "drown" her toy mice in their water bowl. My wife finds that particularly disturbing. We've tried allowing them to run free in the living room and kitchen areas at night, but broken pictures and turned over lamps make that an impossibility (things that they don't do when we're home and awake, oddly enough). Our cats are why we can't have nice things, but we love them anyway.
