How do you keep all the cats in the house off of your bed at night? They are just plain stubborn, you kick them off and they just get right back up. I hardly sleep at night because all the freakin' cats are on top of me and I can't take it anymore. Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Okay its not so easy just to shut them out my room, I really don't want to get up every five seconds when my dog wants to go out, and I really really don't want her to poopie in my room.

You must DOMINATE the cats. You are the boss! Don't reason with them, don't reward them ---DOMINATE them.
Invest in a squirt gun. When the cats jump up on the bed, get your Annie Oakley on. Repeat as needed. During the day, if you find your cats sleeping on the bed, squirt them until they get down. In time, they will learn that the bed is "off limits."
Good luck!

You don't say what sort of house you have, if there is a spare bedroom, or a lounge with a closing door then you will need to herd all of the cats up in the evenings, and lock them in there with a nice soft blankie, food and water, and a litter box for the evening. That way your dog can get up every 5 seconds by itself to go outside, and you can get a good nights sleep!
They may complain for the first few evenings, but cats are like kids, once they understand that you are NOT going to change your mind, they will settle in!

My cats annoyed me by jumping all over me and I shut the door and kept them out. If you let the dog out before you go to bed, unless it is a very young puppy, it shouldn't need to go out again. If it isn't house trained, then it needs to be contained in a dog crate. You can put the dog crate in your room where you can here it bark, if it needs to go. If you don't want to crate, then close the door on your cats, but leave the dog in with you. I even leashed my dog to my dresser for a time period, in case you come with "but you wouldn't be able to keep your dog off the bed," as your next reason. (What happened over time was, I opened the door again, and only one cat was willing to sleep with me with the dog in the room, so we slept peacefully!)

I have to shut my cat out of my bedroom. I just give him free reign of the rest of the house after dark, some times he comes clawing at the door but after a while he'll get the point, give up, and go find something else to get into. Good luck =^_^=

Sorry, cats pretty much do as they do.
A closed door is about the only answer that is going to work.
Try keeping your door closed off to them all the time, but give them another place to sleep that they will like as much as your bed.
They may take to it, and you may eventually be able to open your door again.
Otherwise, either plan to give them away, or put up with it.
There really isn't much you can tell a cat to do.

Sounds like the dog is just as annoying as the cats-why not shut all of them out?

Close your door.
Lock them in another room
You can get those big dog crates and make little rooms for them
Good Luck
