Cat chewing on computer cables and power cords

Your socialization concept is one that is foreign to the toxically
compassionate owner. I believe socializing a cat to your home from
the
beginning results in a happier cat in the long run. Otherwise what
to you
have? An unhappy human chasing around cleaning up transgressions and
screaming. The inmate running the asylum.

Maybe you should add a copyright tag to some of this.

Not sure what to do.

roll up a single leaf of newspaper...and give a cat size
spanking...one tap...and the cat is out of there...

chewing on his life?..an electrical chord? maybe youi could get 2
taps in before he gets away.

How about one of those handheld CO2 bottle powered air horns? LOL

ha! (maybe they make one that barks like a big dog)


Now that you mention it, how about just compressed air and a nozzle? Makes a
LOUD "Hiss" sound too! Hey, you may be onto sumthin' !!



Those little inexpensive spray bottles with water I understand work
great and the best part is that you can have a half dozen of them
spread throughout the house so one is always nearby to hopefully catch
em in the act.....

You miss the point. Compressed air/gas makes a HISSSSSSSSS sound. We were
talking about alternative behavior corrections ... not watering a house
plant. ;^) And personally, my aim ain't that good ... even when I pee.
(joke for the womenfolk)

How about a paint gun (firing water filled "bullets") with a laser pointer.
Lots of cats will chase a laser dot so .... (objective #1) get the cat's
attention and then (objective #2) fire the water bulltet with ACCURACY!

Bradley, the HISSSSS from a can of compressed air need not be in the cat's
ear to be heard. Seems you don't know that. Now you do. But in your case,
your the kind of fella who squirts Binaca in the air and then tries to catch
some on your frog-like tongue. (another joke for the ladies).

Too late. LOL

Aerosols are very effective with Sarrasine- don't ask me why, we have
never sprayed her with anything or even anywhere near her but she
hates the noise they make. It works a lot better than a squirt bottle
which I'd be vary of using when she's hiding behind electrical
equipment and anyway when I did try a squirt bottle she drank the
water! But now just shaking an aerosol can usually stop her (unless
what she is doing is very enjoyable!). Redunzel however hates the
squirt bottle.

Thank you Lesley. Have you never heard a cat hiss or spit? Surely you've
heard the Haaaaaaah! with ears laid back and teeth bared. It's one of those
universal feline expressions!
