our kitten is six months, we just got her spayed, she was the same way with us, she wanted to sleep with us every night, and would meow outside the door, so now we leave the door open. she has learned to come and go, esspecially when she gets bored with us, she also has a cat tree that she is very attached to, in the living room, that she will go back and forth to sleep on. sometimes we leave the tv on animal planet, on a soft volume, so she does not feel alone, the crying has stopped, because she has choices now, and when she wants to be playful in the middle of the night, we just dont pay attention to her, and she leaves so we can sleep. dont acknowledge bad behavior, ignore the unwanted behavior, put praise and positive emotion in the good behavior, it works well, hope this helps

The best thing is to just ignore them when they cry at the door. Once they realise they won't get any response they'll stop trying to get in the bedrrom with you and sleep on the couch on their own. It may take a couple of weeks til they stop so maybe your husband could wear ear plugs for a while so it doesn't disturb him.

I don't know how you can stop this behavior. My cats do not like to see ANY door closed- let alone the bedroom door ;) I think it is a cat thing. I am not a fan of the squirt gun thing, here is an article on it: http://www.littlebigcat.com/index.php?action=library&act=show&item=squirtbottlespunishmentandcatbehavior1
