Honestly, it depends on the cat. I had one who would have learned the expectation immediately, then only broken it if she was annoyed at me, to make a point.
And another one that would have been scared of the tape and just avoided that room entirely.






People are keyed up and do not have emotional regulation skills. This is a failure of society.
We make fun of them for their “fake” emotional support animals, their public panic attacks and for their attempts at discreet electronic emotional support. This is also a failure of society.
That guy trying to make it through his fight is not the reason the earth or humans are doomed.
