yeah that is what he does, he just stares at them and claws them, i can't stand spiders or any bugs they have to go lol at least he is good at spotting them i guess.
everytime he sees ones indoors he doesn't do anything with it he just stares at or plays with it, is there any way to encourage him to hunt and kill them? i have tried vocal encouragement but he is still the same :S strangely he hunts and plays with his toy mouse no problem, but when it comes to...
LOL maybe he is trying to get his point across, i wouldn't be surprised, he likes me more anyway.
ah interesting, i didn't like the fact that the cat ate much more, my boy eats too much as it is lol, very interesting changes, especially when he washed him, my cat does like to have a moan when i...
i use wood shavings litter it's un-scented, i wash the box out every week with water and then give it a good clean every month, i don't wash the box with soap every week because the scent of the soap would put him off using it.
i don't want you guys to worry over me that is why i was hesitant...
no, hes not neutered, i clean the litter box as soon as he goes to toilet, he has a very big litter box, i had to remove the lid in the past though because he didn't like it.
i wouldn't let that happen if he decided to sell him, he wanted to sell to people he knew like friends, i know what the...
good news guys, he decided to give him another chance, i'm so relived :) he may be mean sometimes but at least he gave the cat a chance so i will give him credit for that, i just have to be careful that he doesn't do it again, changes have to be made because the cat can't be left alone, at least...
it's his place so i can't tell him to take a hike, my cat is going through middening stages right now with stress (hes pooped a total of 4 times on the rug and sofa) and he doesn't understand, his mind is set in stone that he wants to sell it, i have no say in the matter even when i've exhausted...
also don't get the urge to pick him up every 5 minutes, my boy is super spoilt because he always wants his way and wants me to pick him up, sometimes you just have to ignore him, it's not always about him all the time, and yes distraction is the key, get the toys out and encourage him to play...
my boy is the same, he looks at you for attention and then when you go and stroke him he starts the nipping, i say to him ah ah! and put him down again or turn the chair the other way and say no attention! but it never seems to make much difference LOL he gets way overstimulated or excited, i...
a lot of people may disagree and say washing your cat is not ideal but it has a lot of benefits especially in my case anyway, it's a personal preference.
what the hell? shock mats? are you trying to fry your poor kitties or something? just throw a slipper or a pillow at the door, they get the hint eventually.
i don't know what advice to give you, my cat is clingy too and demands attention all the time, you could always try the distracting approach get your husband to distract the cat when your cat seeks attention from you, or turn your back towards him and say a firm NO! and he will give up...
i think the OP needs to have boundaries when it comes to your furniture, letting them climb on the counter and stove is asking for trouble, say if you had hot cooked food on there what do you think will happen to the cats? be more firm with them and tell them NO, move them away from the areas...
wow, and i thorght my cat had bad separation anxiety, you could always try leaving some of your clothes lying around so he can smell your scent and calm him down or as the other person has suggested..
SUch a shame that she had to die like that, cancer be it in humans or pets is a very horible disease, i hope she passed away peacefull, the last thing anyone needs is thier pet to suffer, at least you had many happy years with her, that is all that counts :)
Like cooked chicken lol, you would never get them away from the counter, also another tip, don't put thier food bags above the counter where they can see them, that is asking for trouble imo put them in the cubards bellow out of site.
