My cats have the run of the house and outside exept from two rooms, as they might damage something or they could get hurt. but they sneak into those rooms and sometimes get trapped as we close the doors. please help!

I know this sounds weird but some pet or pet specialty store sell lion dung (nursery's too in areas where deer in gardens is a problem). Sprinkle a little of that across the doorway and no more trespassing. It doesn't smell so you'll never know it's there. After a few days the cats won't cross anyway. I got some for the zoo near me just by asking one of the keepers I saw. Turns out they get a lot of requests for the stuff.
After I wrote that I checked the web and look at the link attached. The second link proves I'm not nuts.

Just make sure you keep the door closed when you aren't in there....and make sure they don't get in while you are in there so you don't lock them in. My cats do this all the time. The best way I have found, is to always keep the door closed, and if you need to go in there, don't let them in and close the door right behind you to make sure they NEVER get in there.

close doors & windows. when you find them there, pick them up and take them out. after a while they'll get the message. there is no point in speaking harshly, or throwing them onto the floor, as some idiots do. cats -as you probably know - do not understand that at all. simple removal will reinforce a little mental pathway that eventually sticks

Find out where they are, then close the doors to those rooms

just keep the doors closed;and put some bells on the door knob to hear if they do get stuck in there as cats love to play with bells

The only way to do that is conditioning. Where you sqirt them with water till they learn not to go in those rooms, or to keep the doors closed at all times.

Put baby gates up..or keep the doors closed at all times.

The kitten isn't aggressive. he's behaving like a classic kitten. that's what they do. Cats are organic predators and their play mimics this. there is not any longer something unusual or weird and wonderful approximately this kitten's behaviour.

we started off not alowing our kittens in the bedrooms or the bathroom when we weren't home and then as they got older we alowed them to be in our room any time they wanted and then later on the spare room but I would let them in the spare room supervised from time to time till I felt comfortable that they weren't going to destroy it. so maybe let them in the rooms from time to time and supervise them soon it won't be such a thrill to be in the room because they are alowed in there.
