<human>: My boyfriend and I just adopted a new cat from the SPCA.  He's a about 8 months old.  We have a one bedroom apartment, which he has access to everything but the bedroom.  Since the first night we brought him home, we've been having issues with him crying and scratching at the door when we go to bed.  This will happen for at least 10 mins or more. Is there anything short of letting him in to stop this?  

I'm a bit allergic, and have always kept my door closed when there is an animal in the house or apartment.  He has really never been alone, because he was in the shelter since October.  The SPCA has recommended that we don't get another cat as a companion because he is very dominant, and didn't do well with either of the foster homes he was in.  I would agree with this, as he wants to be the center of attention all the time, and would probably be upset if he had to share us with another cat.

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: cat meows like crazy when we go to bed.  Any way to stop it short of letting him in the room?
