Well the other option is to butter the cat's feet, that way it's doubly stuck to the floor as a result of cat/toast physics, or unable to do anything because you buttered its feet.
Is it a cat or a kitten? because kittens generally go through a phase of wanting to climb things including people if they stand still for too long... From experience with six kittens ( a pair and then four of a kind, trust me, it's a full house I don't care what the rules say) there lots of ways of stopping a kitten doing something, ranging from mild to severe: Whistle as loud as you can at the highest pitch you can, off tone if possible. PSSSSSST again as loud as possible, if it doesn't work you must follow it up with the next step, hopefully the cat will realise that they can avoid the worse thing by paying attention to the pssssst bit. Pick up kitten/cat by the scruff of the neck (fully grown cats must have their bottom supported when you pick them up this way) then tap gently on the nose, you'll see from it's face how unpleasant this is for them, not a hard tap, no pain involved at all. Another thing, if it's a kitten, when it pees somewhere it didn't ought to (and it will) a solution of biological laundry powder will remove all trace of it rather than what you can smell. Cats sense of scent being so much better that ours what you think is clean still smells like a toiled to them so they'll keep anointing it. Finally, the most effective way I've seen of stopping cats tearing your bins apart is to put a dozen or so balloons in a bin bag with an empty tuna/catfood tin, one swipe with a claw... I never realised cats could move so fast. Moriquendi
I smack cats in the face that do that, if its annoying anyway. My cat loves to lay on my stomach and stick his face into my chin. He is a great lap cat when he isnt making out with my chin however. And I would get that bugger declawed asap, nothing worse then a cat that does that and has its weapons still.
Dclawed is cruel. There's plenty of imformation about the side effects. http://www.sspca.org/Cats/Declawing.html http://www.goodcatswearblack.com/declawing/about_declawing.htm http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...=result&cd=1&q=problem+with+declawing&spell=1 If you have respect for your animal then you wont subject your cat this dangerous and painful procedure. Only unreasonably owner do this. cats are not like dogs they are still semi wild. They need there claws to function. they may scratch the furniture they may even starch you if you cant accept this DON'T OWN A CAT. We had a ginger tom who was a moody so and so but we would never do anything as barbaric as declaw him.
So what happens if you tie two cats bak to back and then drop them out of a nine story window do they somehow still Both land on their feet (a physical impossibilitie if you tie the knots right) or do they just go splat ? Two word/s Cat Nip
Both cats appear in a both up and down entity and can both be considered splattered and non-splattered until disturbed.
You work for PETA or something? I whole heartily disagree. After owning a cat that is both neutered and declawed, I can say without doubt that its a good thing for my sanity. A cat mellows out after it gets the snip snip. And my cat is sitting on my lap right now, ball-less and clawless, and purring like a motor boat. Does this mean that sometimes the procedures get botched? Yes, but they are few and far between. I do agree if your going to have it done, do it while they are still young. They dont recommend it on older cats. My sister had her cat declawed (just front) and neutered and he is fine! But he is by no means 'a changed cat'. Our cats are purely indoor too. If they where 'barn cats' or similar I wouldnt bother, cause they live outside. It comes down to the owners wishes really. And if your fanatical about your pets, go ahead! I dont really care! But I like my cats declawed and neutered.
This is a live animal you're talking about and you want to chop bits of it off because they're not convenient? Cats have claws, its part of being a cat just like sitting on your keyboard is and sleeping in the sun. You can train them not to use their claws, declawing simply isn't required. Moriquendi
Kitten? Immediately act hurt, pull away the limb or retreat, bare your teeth, hiss angrily and ignore said kitten for a while. Careful eat scratches are allowed after a few minutes, I've gone between five and thirty depending on the cat. Same should work with adults but not really with persians and similar breeds. Those are some extremely selfish *******s. Also cats in general have zero understanding of delayed punishment. Kitty dropped a vase while you were away? DO NOT punish for it. For them its cruelty.
I use an airsoft full auto. Now I can dry fire it without any plastic b'b's and still get em to run to the otherside of the house.
If i ripped out all your nails and cut off your balls, not only would you mellow out, but from that point on whenever you see me you'd probably also curl up into the fetal posistion and purr.
