Pussy Whipped

Yep - Colin's got me wrapped round his little claw, and it's sharp.

I'm writing by way of gathering some advice - I need your help. This is directed at anybody who has any idea about cats. Here's the situation:

Colin wakes me up every morning at about 4:30 - this doesn't bother me so much, as I get up at 5 anyway. it's the METHOD that he wakes me. I don't let him into my room because I don't like to share my bed with creatures that lick their own arses, so Colin sits outside my door and miaows. Miaow miaow miaow miaow constantly. When he realises that the miaowing doesn't work, he starts to throw himself at the door. Literally - he jumps 4 feet in the air, directly at my door, and then scratches his nails all the way down. THUD - SCRAAAAAAATCHHHHH - MIAOW. That's what wakes me up.

So, what's his problem and how can I fix it? I understand that I'm his mum, and he loves me, but really - this is a little odd. It's akin to a small child hitting it's head against a wall when it wants something. It's like his own special little tanty.

I can't deal with it for much longer - so short of sound proofing my room, I'd like some help. How can I stop him?
