Willy warmer on cat! Serious
Discussion
We are at our wits end with our giant rag doll Max.
Every night without fail he wants to play at 4am. So to wake us he claws the carpet to shreds. Then jumps around throwing toys and generally being a pest and looked down on with disdain by our well behaved other boy.
So each morning he gets shut in kitchen with access to garden but by then we are awake.
We don't want to throw him out all night. He's a valuable cat and we don't want him wandering off.
The idea of covering his front paws just at night with baby socks or for amusement as in title, willy warmers came into my mind.
Am I being hopelessly optimistic he will keep them on or does anyone have an alternative to stopping him ruining our carpet.
Or worse still is this cruel? Love him so much but it's worse than having a baby in the house.
Edited to say he has a huge scratching post which he uses too but likes to warm up on the carpet.
Help us get some sleep, pleeeeeeese.

Pull them off and take a dump on them I would imagine!

All joking aside it is a dilemma. Always had cats, sometimes 2, recently till old age got them, 5 . Never experienced such a naughty boy.
If he goes out at night, covering his paws would be cruel & potentially dangerous.
Water pistol by the bed, don't even need the no, just squirt when he claws the carpet. He'll quickly learn that he gets wet if he does it. And if you don't speak he won't blame you
Do you react? One of mine used to yowl for attention at 3am, we just lay there as tho asleep, it stopped.

My British Shorthair does this and it's just for attention. All i have to do is react and he runs knowing that he's done wrong. The minute he does it he gets shut out of the bedroom and goes to sleep in the spare room, not really sure what he gets out of doing it. I've just replaced my carpet and began to ignore him, which seemed to make him stop but couldn't have left him doing it before that.
