Just a thought. We got Anna at 6 years old a few months ago. The longer she has lived with us, the more possessive she has become. She growls, nips and bites when people go near our living room door or when they come near me. Is it possible that Gucci is becoming possessive of the bed and your wife? Instead of this being a behavior brought on by darkness, could it be a territorial issue? One thing that we have been doing that has helped is we have changed the trigger. People going near the door would send her into a full blown fit. Knowing this, when our guests are preparing to leave, my husband picks up Anna, carries her to the door and opens it for the guests. This has helped a lot. Maybe you could start carrying Gucci to bed at night. Having said all of this, there are some great people on here with much more experience than I've had. Hopefully, they will provide some suggestions.
