Dresser disaster
Since I got my new dresser, Pumpkin has taken a liking to going into the drawers. At first I thought it was funny that she liked to climb into the drawer, until I realized this meant she would often dig at my clothes to get herself fully in. That got annoying quickly, so I stopped letting her go in.
Then, she started trying to get into the dresser at night. I was worried that she would scratch and damage my dresser as she tried to claw the drawers open, so I started sleeping with the water bottle beside the bed. When she would start to claw, I would spray the bottle in her general direction (I say general, because I was always fast asleep and never woke up enough to really nail her) and she would run away. I guess I eventually hit her a few times and it got to the point where I would just have to grab the water bottle and hold it up before she ran away. I've successfully trained her not to claw it anymore at night.
However, apparently she has not gotten over this behaviour. Often, when I get home from school or shopping, this is what I find on the floor:This is actually worse that I usually find, so I thought I'd take a picture. Usually, it's only a shirt of two, sometimes not fully pulled out of the drawer. Perhaps she was extra hyper (mad?) when she did this?
I'm not sure how to stop this behaviour, since it always occurs when I'm gone. Plus, she always hits the same drawer - I suppose that one is the easiest for her to get open. For now, I'll just keep refolding my shirts again and again. I guess she's got me trained up pretty nicely, hey?
