<human>: I have had Watson for about a year now. I got him from a shelter and they said he had been on the streets for about the first five months of his life. He is terrified of most people save for me and my girlfriend. For the last year then I was living in a small apartment and he was pretty much confined to my room. However, we just moved into our new apartment and he can have the run of the place now. We decided that we didn't want his hair all over the bedroom so every night when we go to bed, we take him out of the room and close the door. Several times a night he will paw and meow at the door for what feels like hours. What is going on? Is there a better way to deal with it?

Provide a brief overview of the text.
