Do, you sleep with your bedroom door open or closed and why?
Door open. My kitty sleeps in bed with me and she likes to come and go in the night, she’d wake me up if the door was closed!
Yep, I had a cat that would paw on the door if it wasn’t open. I decided to see how long he’d stick with it. My sanity broke at 2 hours. He won and it was open from that night forward.
I put dog doors on most of my doors because of my cat, otherwise she’d just sit at it meowing until it was opened.
Closed, got to keep separation from the pets so I can sleep peacefully. Don’t need a cat purrkoring off my face at 3 am.
Lol @ purrkoring
Open, because cat
I feel exposed if it’s swung all the way open though. I just leave it ajar for the kitty.
Likewise, if my door was closed the kitties would scratch from the outside and make a nuisance of themselves.
Gotta train them that doing that doesn’t get them the outcome they want. I make it a policy with my cats that if they wake me up, they get yeeted to the basement.
When they were new, that meant picking them up and carrying them to the laundry room and closing the door. It evolved to me simply carrying them to the top of the stairs and setting them on the top step, and now all I have to do is open the door when they scratch or yowl and they scatter. It took a while, but now they only bother me at night when there’s another cat in the yard and they want to get to my window to look out.

Open, to let my stupid cat out otherwise he cries.
(I love him)
Closed. Damn cat. She’s not looking to snuggle into bed. She wants to wake you up. Why? Who knows.
Mine screams outside the door if I close it.
We close our door but cut a hole in it for the cats to get through.
Open, so that the air that gets pumped into my room can tell the Mr. Thermostat in the hall that it’s actually fine in there and they don’t need to call Mr. Furnace or Mrs. A/C.
Depending on your thermostat, you might be able to find satellite sensors for each of your rooms. I did this and we can change which temperature sensor the thermostat monitors.
Fancy
Closed. If there’s a fire in the other parts of your house, you’ll have more time to be alerted and escape.
My country is extremely dangerous, so we have locks in every door and their reinforcements. So no, im never sleeping with a door open.
closed. Don’t want to see no ghosts up for a midnight stroll through my halls.
open so cats can walk freely
Indeed. It is not us that sleep with the door open. It’s the cats’ choice.
nods I used to sleep with the door shut and locked, and the home alarm on whenever I was out. That’s no longer true ever since the queen demanded that I do neither.
Why does no one cut a cat-flap in their bedroom door?
I’m the opposite. I like it when the cat curls up on my feet, but I’m not a fan of just letting them stalk through the house and jump around freely when I’m trying to flipping sleep.
They can’t not do that, so they get shut out. And I taught them early on that if they yowl and scratch at the door on the middle of the night, they’re just gonna get launched down the stairs.
Cats only get to be the boss if you let them. They absolutely can be trained to not be total tyrants.
My people
Open. I have dogs and cats. I wouldn’t get a second of sleep if i locked either dogs or cats out of the bedroom
Closed. I have an 18 year old who has been working the closing shift a lot this summer. I don’t want to be woken.
Not fully closed, so the cat it’s less annoying through all the night.
closed door because roomates, but open balcony door for maximum fresh air and feels of nature.
