Nico looks at her. Then, slowly, deliberately, he sticks his claws in her bare lower leg. "Owww !!!!" Nico looks at her. Then, slowly, deliberately, he sticks his claws in her bare lower leg. "Owww !!!!" Nico looks at her. Then, slowly, deliberately, he sticks his claws in her bare lower leg. "Owww !!!!" Then she kicks out. Don't worry, she missed.

I don't know about him but, after the first time I would make some effort to
at least get away from the cat or shoo it away. A good thump on the nose might be in order if I didn't have a water bottle handy.

Sorry, that was in part my impatience over the whole "Lorelei" story finally
snapping. I don't know if anyone else's cats do this, but mine will gently put out a claw (or in Sammy's care a little bite or nip - not drawing blood) just to get me to pay attention to them. They don't do this in malice or evil or any other bad intent, just to get my attention. The fact that she sat through it twice and didn't move or react other than an "Ow" tells me it wasn't done hard. The absolute best way to discourage a cat who is getting a bit rambunctious is to let out a loud, high-pitched "MEW" - the noise a kitten will make when a sibling is getting too rough. All rough-housing stops immediately (a cat's equivalent to crying "uncle"). I think one of my cats would have to chew off my arm before I would even *CONSIDER* not having said cat. Again, sorry for blowing a gasket. -- Hugs, CatNipped See all our masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped See the RPCA FAQ site, by Mark Edwards, at: http://www.professional-geek.com/rpcablog/ "Granby" wrote in message ...

And, true story about Cherokee, RB 2000 at age 17. We had a routine. Every, single, day when I came in from work, I had the day's mail in myhand. I sat at the dining room table and began opening/sorting it. Cherokee would sit at my feet while I did so. Eventually, he took one paw, laid it gently on my bare leg, and dug all five claws in. Just his way of getting my attention. Nothing aggressive about it. Never brought blood. It was just a cute Cherokee- thing. However, it was required we wear nylons to work, so Cherokee did cause me to spend a lot of $$$ on new nylons. Can't say I was fond of the habit at the time, but Id give anything to sit down opening mail right now and have Cherokee appear and "get my attention." Frank was a baby when Cherokee was elderly and being "monkey-see, monkey-do" as he is, he picked up lots of Cherokee's habits, good and bad. Now, when I sit very much engrossed in a book, he jumps on the arm of the chair and gently taps my face. If I don't respond, he starts tapping with the claws out. They're simply terribly spoiled to being the center of attention and have their little ways to remind me that I should take care of them first, then deal with lesser-important things like mail later.

I see what you're saying, but I kind of interpret what David said a little differently, probably because of Cherokee. The key words were "slowly and deliberately." To me, that says Nico's just getting her attention without really hurting her. Instead of being mean, she's just being annoying. Sort of like the "love bites" we're all familiar with. Now, Kitten's thing is to grab my ankle, with claws out, and start bunny-kicking, with claws out. That HURTS, it's aggressive, and she gets the water gun for it. She never seems to learn anything, but I have hopes. Biskit is the only one who gets away with deliberate clawing. She loves to perch on my shoulder, and while she's there, she kneads. It hurts like the devil but she is purring and drooling and in such obvious nirvana while she's doing it I can't bear to make her stop. In fact, I can't bear to discipline Biskit for just about anything. :-) Sherry |

I don't think the cat was at fault, the human was though.

They're simply terribly spoiled to being the center of attention and have their little ways to remind me that I should take care of them first, then deal with lesser-important things like mail later. Not wanting to enter (or start!) a flamefest, but I would not let my cats attract attention in physically injurous ways either. Meowing loudly and getting in my face are annoying enough, I am *not* going to let them think thats its in any way OK to hurt me or mine on purpose (and fairs fair, if one of the two-foots hurts either of them accidently we get a swift bite or nasty scratch for our trouble to let them know that they dont' think being hurt is acceptable either). Last thing I'd want them to do is hurt Cary once they realise he's just as capable of operating the kibble box as I am. Yowie [1] and would stop them by squealing, hissing loudly, water squirting, and physically removing them from the scene - oh, and nail trimming - rather than anything more malicious. But still, I wouldn't have let a cat dig into my leg because they wanted attention, much inthe same way I didn't and don't let Cary bite, punch and/or kick me for attention (as toddlers try, and learn *very* quickly that that is *not* a good way to get Mummy / Daddy's attention) |
