hey guys, so my parents decided to get a cat, except it's contstantly jumping up on people and clinging on to us with it's nails! any idea how to stop this at all? it's just brought my girlfriend to tears by scratching her! help be appreciated!
We used one of those garden spray bottles with the trigger on the top. It only takes a few squirts, and kitty soon learns. Our two cats learned so well, that now we only have to make a "pssst" sound with our mouths, and they go running
Water spraying should do the trick. Or blunt your cat's claws (don't cut too deep into the claw however, towards the root they actually have bloodflow). Or beat up your cat like I do But in a nice, affectionate way.
Pick it up and throw it against a wall! They always land on their feet, it'll be fine. Water actually might work, but you have to remember that it's a cat and cats are just weird that way.
Throwing the cat actually works. They hate it, and it's harmless...though you may not want to do it when un-cat-savvy people are around. To the uneducated eye it looks like extremely sadistic cruelty.
No, you attach heavily buttered toast to the cat, and throw them towards a low traffic area in a spinning motion. The cat and toast will then float, while both are struggling to land on the ground first, thus solving the scratching problem. Just as long as everyone avoids the hovering cat in the corner that is. OMG GTFO you behind me or something?!?
Walk around with ceiling tiles. As cats always land on their feet, when it makes its move it will see the ceiling tile and become confused; it will think it's falling. It will instantly turn around in mid air and, using cat physics, propel itself to the nearest floor. Problem solved. -monkey
