Many moons ago, I rented a room from in house owned by an elderly 
woman, she had six small dogs, one cat and one kitten (that seemed to 
think it was a dog). The dogs and the kitten all loved me, making 
noise and dancing around my feet whenever I was in the house.
My room was off limits to the animals, so of course the cat always 
wanted in. It would do all sorts of annoying things to try to mark my 
stuff as its territory and hide (usually to try and pounce on me) 
when I came home at night.
One if its annoying tricks was to butt its head on the door to my 
room at like 3 am. If it did it enough the door would open ( I did 
not lock the door at night) and it would try to creep in. Finally one 
morning I got piss'd off about it enough to grab a laundry bag and 
toss it over the cat, then I took the bag and hung it in the running 
shower while I shaved (and waited for hot water to start flowing). 
When I was done getting ready, I untied the top of the bag 
and  tossed the whole soggy mess out onto the back step of the house.
Needless to say the cat never bothered again.
