Because Noodle is a particularly naughty cat, we can’t trust her to stay out on her own at night. It’s not the jumping on desks or knocking things over that concerns me, really, but her penchant for chewing on wires. We’re technophiles, there’s wires everywhere. She’s good about not doing it where we can see her, but if we leave the room, it’s not uncommon to come back to discover her chowing down on a phone charger. We tried a number of things to discourage her from it, but ultimately what worked best was kennel training the cat.
She’s perfectly content to sleep in her kennel, and often goes there for her afternoon naps, as well.
