Do, you sleep with your bedroom door open or closed and why?

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.
