How do I "set back" Amber?
Tonight we set the clocks back one hour. My problem is that Amber
usually wakes me up about 5AM. That's OK because I usually get up about that time. Tomorrow (and for the next six months) what Amber thinks is 5 will actually be 4. I DON'T want to get up that early. I will explain this to her but I doubt if it will do any good. ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') |

How do I "set back" Amber?
Our cats are triggered by the alarm in the morning. Now that the time will
change, they likely will as well. In saying that, my husband and I believe the older cat has an atomic clock built in her as she will start fussing if the alarm doesn't go off (like on weekends) and will give us 10 minutes to get moving. If we do not, she starts eating my hair, meowing, scratching the window screen etc. We just set her outside the door until she starts pawing at that and we just give up. Is your cat triggered by your alarm? If so, that may make things easier. If not, I think she will likely take the hint. -- ..oO rach Oo. "---MIKE---" wrote in message ...

This takes the association of being fed away from the humans and they learn that food comes from the feeder. It's worked for the most part, they don't bug me so much in the morning. -- -Kelly |

How do I "set back" Amber?
I've recently learned that my cat, Charley, is psychic. You see, I
just wasn't giving him the message the right way. He was fond of meowing, not only in the morning, but whenever it suited his fancy, which could be anywhere from 1-3AM. He thought that would be a great time for me to get up and play. I decided he needed some negative reinforcement, so when he meowed in the middle of the night, I nailed him with my feather pillow. I did it two nights in a row and wondered how long I'd have to give the lesson. ON the 3rd night, as I lay down, I kept up the mantra in my head. "Keep your mouth shut or I'm going to get you with the pillow" Charley hasn't meowed in the middle of the night since. So now I don't have to throw the pillow, I just have to think about it.

Actually, Charley is very smart--sometimes too smart for his own
good--so maybe he got the message with only two feather pillow treatments. But I like the psychic version better. ;-) And no, I'd never do anything to actually cause Charley pain--just surprise him a bit. Michelle |
