Ugh. Way less sleep than I needed, which has been happening too much lately.

Cat people, I need advice.

We have a dog in a cat suit. Sweet, emotionally needy, he wants attention whenever he's awake. He's gotten recent access to our bedroom, but had and continues to have access to another one.

For household logistical reasons not subject to change, once he asks to be let out of our bedroom, his access is over for the night. Last night, he asked to be readmitted by destroying a fabric and foam draft blocker attached to the door.

When he wakes us up asking for access he can't have, I'm consistent. I go out, herd him away from the door with my feet, and gently shoo him down the stairs. At which point he leaves, and doesn't return. Last night, I only got up once I heard the fabric tearing, which in retrospect, was probably a mistake.

Once the draft blocker is repaired or replaced, how do I keep him from messing with it?
