Ha, I guess not. I am moreso than with dogs. I had a cat once. But never one that was actually my responsibility to take care of, and never one that had any designs on misbehaving (or bothering anyone while sleeping) at all.
But seriously, what would happen if you just never let a cat into your bedroom from the time you got it? Would it just never get the hint?
When I first got my cat, I did try to keep him out of the bedroom. He just wasn't having any of that though. He would scratch and scratch at the door until he could get it open. (it didn't have a latch on the inside)
He just HAD TO BE in the room I was in.
It's easier to train a cat to keep away from smaller areas like countertops or tables because there's usually not a pressing need in his mind to visit those places. But I've seen my cat who KNOWS not to jump on the counter do it anyway when the noise of crows on the roof carries through the vent. He hears the birds and is so overcome that he forgets he's not allowed there.
