    eating earbuds

    Quite a while ago I posted asking how to teach your cat to leave your earbuds alone. Well, I've found a way. All I had to do was wear them and whenever he went to bite the cord or grab them/it with his paw I would tap gently on his nose. He would instantly stop and when he came back again...

    Whats everyone getting there cats for Christmas??

    I think I'll give him both sets of earbuds that he has destroyed and a dozen new pencils but I'll tell him the pencils are mine so he feels really good about himself when he swipes them from my pencil jar and hauls them off to places unknown.

    learning to be buddies

    This was too cute, then I'll let this thread die. When I woke up this morning, Eyvan's weird cat power told him I was up and he came trotting to the bedroom and laid down on my chest. Darcy rolled over and laid her head across my cheek right in front of Eyvan's purring face. Then he gently...

    earbud killer

    I've slept with a hoody on a few times which worked not too bad for the most part. The one night, however, he caught sight of the cord poking out by my chin and got me with a claw when he reached out with lightning speed to scoop it. Perhaps I'll have to stick with that for a while though and...

    earbud killer

    How do I get Eyvan to leave my earbuds alone? I use my mp3 at night to block out other sounds so I can sleep but he has some kind of weird passion for them and will try to get them every time opportunity presents itself. I have gotten him to stop doing other things by gently tapping him on...

    I think he feared for my life

    lol, I have two teens and a door that doesn't lock and while it hasn't happened often... Eyvan's just going to have to learn to deal with it I'm afraid.

    I think he feared for my life

    The kids had company over and they always stay up until insane hours so I was trying to keep the place quiet this morning. Eyvan decided he was going to come into the bathroom with me when I wanted to have a shower and I knew if I left him out he would just yowl until I came out and wake the...

    What do your cats do to get you out of bed?

    Eyvan used to try to wake me up but I found that when I would give him gentle taps on the nose he would go away and let me sleep. Now I MOSTLY get to sleep undisturbed, however he has some kind of weird cat power that lets him know the second I begin to wake up. In a half stupor I'll hear the...

    I just discovered the Cat Dancer and we love it!

    I saw one of those when I was shopping for cat toys but I didn't know how much fun they would have; now I'll have to go back and get it.

    cat getting the flu

    Thanks, I'll deal with the mildew smell. Never could see any mould in there and washed and dried it out well, but since it's in the bathroom every shower could be a problem. The dust thing actually makes sense since when he was a baby and had the crusties we were living in a home with five...

    cat getting the flu

    Bother, I had replied to this the other day but my post isn't here, I must have shut the window before it finished. Thank you for the thought about the humidifier, I'll keep that in mind. Right now I'm still sick and not going anywhere, however Eyvan appears to be feeling better as he is back...

    learning to be buddies

    Darcy is doing much better and I really think Eyvan has been a major help in this although he still makes her nervous sometimes. The other morning Eyvan jumped up on the bed as usual and after he said a very loud purry good morning to me he went to Darcy. I have a thick blanket over my...

    cat getting the flu

    Sorry, this seems like such a minor question. When Eyvan was a baby he had black crusties around his nose but when the vet checked him out he said he was fine. As he got older his nose cleared up. At the beginning of November our family picked up a flu bug and Eyvan suddenly got really...
