Less biting from Buffy
I have discovered that simple hissing when Buffy the kitty bites to
hard is having an amazing success. Now Buffy doesn't clamp down as hard -nearly- as oftern. Nibbles and licks instead of 'I like human flesh bleagh!'. |

He still likes to knaw on hands, but it is never hard or painful. -- Britta "There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast." -- Unknown Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album |

Nibbles and licks instead of 'I like human flesh bleagh!'. When we got Cali from the rescue home, she had been in a bedroom with three other cats for about three months. The exposure to the other cats and the limited human interaction made her a biter. We found that just telling her "NO" when she would bite was enough to get her to stop. She just needed to learn that biting wasn't acceptable with people. On the bright side, the person who was supposed to take her, did not want her because of the biting. She has turned out to be a great cat, it just took a little patience to socialize her. |

Prior to that, she'd get mad when static got her on the nose. Once I started to exclaim when we got a mutual zap from static, she didn't sulk anymore. I guess that showed her that the shock wasn't my doing, nor did it feel nice on my end of the zap. Donna, Captain, and Stanley (neither of whom has gotten a static shock in a while, thank goodness) |

I'll -try- with pictures of Buffy but since my net connection is more
confusing and annoying then an episode of 'Malcolm In the Middle' I can't garuntee anything. |
