LOL! -- Hugs, CatNipped See all our masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped ROFL! That *IS* funny! And I have no doubt the technique works. You demonstrated it very clearly. Thanks for doing that. Jill |

CatNipped typed: *snip* I had you in my kill file until I got this new computer, and have been trying to ignore you since then, but when you start telling people to yell at their cats and grab their teeth to "rub back and forth", that's bordering on abuse and I won't ignore that. Watch the video I posted if you have any doubts about what I recommend working. I've never, ever had it fail on any cat, mine or others. Don't bother responding, I won't see it. Oh come on Lori, whilst yelling 'Ow Ow Ow' and grabbing at their teeth (if they're biting) may not necessarily be 'best' way to stop a cat from being too rough, in your opinion, and it may not be the way *you* would choose to do it, but its hardly *abuse*. To categorise it as *abuse* or even 'bordering on abuse' makes a complete mockery of the selfless people who work tirelessly to rehabilitate abused animals and, worse, belittles the pain and suffering of the victims themselves - the animals that cower in terror at a raised hand, the animals emaciated and crippled via malnutrition and neglect, those that soil themselves when a human approaches them, the ones that bite and snarl and snap when a 'trigger' occurs, the ones that have never known the slightest hint of human kindness. If you genuinely think that *anyone* here is abusing or even 'bordering' on abusing their animal wards, then you have a moral duty to report that abuse to the relevent authorities. Otherwise, this is no place for such false accusations *regardless* of whatever personal 'issues' you may have with any other person here. Reminds me of the time when folks were about to call the authorities of Kili's husband for allowing Kili's cats outside and calling one of them a 'retard'. No, its not the relentlessly-spoiled-and-woshipped-on-a-pedestal treatment "we" give "our cats", but was it actual *abuse*? Not even close. Yowie (anti-pitchfork since '98) |

Matthew: n 9/5/2011 10:37 PM, Matthew wrote: hiss at him or really loud yell ow ow ow you can also grab his teeth and rub back and forth they hate that Lori: OFFS! *DON'T* yell at your cat, cat's don't know the meaning of OW, don't physically punish your cat in ANY way. Just make a very high pitched "MEW" and the cat will instantly stop an attack. It's how kittens say "uncle" when they're fighting, and they'll react to that sound for the rest of their lives. I'm off to a doctor's visit right now and don't have time to look for it, but I'll post a video tape demonstrating it when I get back. ================================================== ================== As you can see, my first response was merely to tell people not to yell at cats or grab at cats' teeth. Matthew, being Matthew, had to mock that, call me wrong and imply that I was being laughing stock. He has never in the history of this newsgroup admitted to being wrong about something, so this didn't come as a surprise to me. ================================================== ================== Matthew: Sorry IT WORKS never had a cat afraid of me for doing this. When they bite or play to rough. I use the words OW OW OW they stop. Mew they would laugh at me if they were human and play rougher ================================================== ================== After posting the video showing that this milder form of remonstrance works immediately and well and in a manner cats understand and respect, he still insisted that yelling at cats and grabbing their teeth is the way to handle the situation. Sorry, I *do* consider that "bordering on abuse" - if it were not would "they hate that" apply? It may not be the massive abuse you are so eloquently and heartbreakingly painting, but its bordering on abusive behavior nevertheless. As with everything else, there are varying degrees of abuse, none, in my opinion, should be used on either helpless animals or helpless children (or anyone else who can not defend themselves). Again, JMHO. ================================================== ================== Lori: I had you in my kill file until I got this new computer, and have been trying to ignore you since then, but when you start telling people to yell at their cats and grab their teeth to "rub back and forth", that's bordering on abuse and I won't ignore that. Watch the video I posted if you have any doubts about what I recommend working. I've never, ever had it fail on any cat, mine or others. Don't bother responding, I won't see it. ================================================== ================= Reading all of the above, I don't see any false accusations on my part. However, I haven't read Matthew's response to that, but I can assure you from past experiences that his reply was not nearly as nice a rebuke as mine. In fact some of the lies and obscenities he's directed towards me in the past just about guarantee that he's doing so again at this, his first opportunity. So if you're looking for false accusations you might want to peruse his posts in this thread. I no longer see Matthew's replies, and since I've stated my opinion as clearly as I can, I'd rather just drop this topic of conversation if you're not averse to doing so. Can we agree to disagree? -- Hugs, CatNipped See all our masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped See the RPCA FAQ site, created by "Yowie", maintained by Mark Edwards, at: http://www.professional-geek.net/rpcablog/ Email: L(dot)T(dot)Crews(at)comcast(dot)net |

CatNipped typed: *snip* After posting the video showing that this milder form of remonstrance works immediately and well and in a manner cats understand and respect, he still insisted that yelling at cats and grabbing their teeth is the way to handle the situation. Thats not how I saw it. Sorry, I *do* consider that "bordering on abuse" - if it were not would "they hate that" apply? Cats also hate getting wet - whcih is why a water gun works, they hate the feel of alumnium foil under their paws - which is why putting alfoil down on a surface you don't want them on works, they hate loud hissing noises - which is why an air can works, and apparently hate the smell of citrus - which is why people recommend using citrus smell to deter cats. None of which would be considered abusive. The question is one of /harm/ - is the cat being *harmed* by whatever it is Matthew is doing? I don't know for sure, but I doubt it. using such a strong word as 'abuse' to express your distaste of his cat training method smacks of a certain cat lady here who would consider feeding cats generic supermarket cat food 'abuse' too. Perhaps there are better ways of doing things, but not doing things the best way is a long way from abuse. Yowie |

Perhaps there are better ways of doing things, but not doing things the best way is a long way from abuse. Yowie Ergo the use of "bordering on". A *very* large grown man screaming and grabbing at the teeth of a cat thirty five times plus smaller in size and "rubbing back and forth" sounds violent to me - how much more pressure might it take to break a tooth? And in the face of being given a not only gentler, but much more effect solution, he instead insisted his bullying is the better solution. Maybe having been the victim of a somewhat similar situation makes me more sensitive to the implications and feelings of the smaller creature, the fear this can invoke, makes my stomach turn. Again, that's my opinion and continuing to chastise me for my opinion is not going to change it. I ask again, can we discontinue the conversation? -- Hugs, CatNipped See all our masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped See the RPCA FAQ site, created by "Yowie", maintained by Mark Edwards, at: http://www.professional-geek.net/rpcablog/ Email: L(dot)T(dot)Crews(at)comcast(dot)net |
