In article , luvskats00
@aol.com enlightened us with... I have a male,neutered tabby; almost 3 years old. Over the past few months he has started exhibiting rather disturbing behaviour.... He is an indoor cat and I take him out when I can on a leash. He gets very, very angry when it's time to come in. Uh....how 'bout getting a litterbox and keeping him inside. Of course if he starts pummelling at the door, you have another problem. What prompted you to do the dog thing..you know...put the cat on a leash and walk him like a dog? Because many cats LIKE to go for walks to actually get out of the house and it isn't safe to let tham wander unattended. Some don't like to be cooped up all the time. They don't necessarily go potty outside. Mine doesn't. But she'd get awful ****y if I made her stay in all the time. The other two don't want anything to do with it. But Rowan would have a fit if she was never allowed out. Walking on a leash is not just a dog thing. Cats, ferrets, bunnies, and pigs are all pets that can enjoy the fresh air. You probably won't get any of them to heel or sit, though. heh -- -- ~kaeli~ Does the name Pavlov ring a bell? http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace |

We live on a very, very busy street and since moving up here have had all the cats I've had on leashes. Just that Giles is the first to get so angry when I wanted him to go inside. He does have his box inside. I did like the suggestion of a cat-run, will have to look into that. I think his turn of attitude started when I started working the overnight shift at work. I don't think he likes me sleeping all day and gone all night. Unfortunately I still have about 4 weeks of nights to go. BsT |

"Jack" wrote in message ... Hi, I have a male,neutered tabby; almost 3 years old. Over the past few months he has started exhibiting rather disturbing behaviour. A month or so Another thought: the feral kitty I was working with had a problem with biting and this is what I did upon advice; I would praise him constantly for all the good things he did; Id' play with him, give him lots of good attention but if he tried to bite me though he immediately was left in his room without any further contact or comments from me. I'd go in after his "time-out" (about 10 minutes) and start over again. Setting aside the fact that this apparently worked, for some reason the idea of a "time-out" for a cat just tickles me. :-) He got the idea that poor behavior led to no attention after not very long. Hope this helps give you some ideas to try. Best wishes, Christine |
