like this.if my cat comes in and jumps on my blanket and a tick comes offa him and gets on my bed and I wash that blanket in hot water, will it drown it? And if not, will the dryer fry it when I dry it on highest ever temperature? And if I soak my rug floor in bug spray incase the thing fell off when I stripped the bed will it still get me while I sleep? (I already used a gallon or so of tick and monster spray on the rug, but what if maybe it hid beneath the tufts of rug)
Oh wowTough problemYou got one bossy cat there:) You could try getting her a scratching postDoes she sleep in the same room as you? You could keep the door a bit open so she could open the door her self by pushing/ pawing the door open I'm so sorry:( How did she get her paws hurt while scratching at the door? Do you trim her claws?
My cats used to do this just for attentionWhen I would get up and feed them, they were fine for a few minutes until they wanted more attentionWhen I figured out that I was rewarding them for waking me up, I stopped getting up at all and made them waitI sprayed a little amount of white vinegar on ther carpet outside my bedroom door and this stopped it right aayJust don't use very much though or it will stink up your house.
If you washed the blanket with soapy water, I would say it's a good bet that any ticks present were drownedSoap reduces the surface tension of water, so an insect that would otherwise walk on top of water would be unable toI believe that a lucky tick that survived that trial would indeed be fried by your dryerThey are tough bugs to crush, but that temperature would have to do itAs for bug spray, I don't trust it to really get rid of anythingGood luck, I hate ticks.
