This is something I never even considered before but I wonder if it might be a good idea given Skittle's current enjoyment of running up and taking a swipe at people when "playing" and his complete disinterest in the THREE(!!!) scratching posts I've bought him. OK...one proper scratching post...

Clan of the Cave Bear! *swoon* I love that book! The sequels were a little disappointing but the first was brilliant. May well grow to be a favourite but believe it or not I only heard of it three months ago! Um...to stay on topic I guess...I am reading Open University textbooks right now lol...

I just finished Awakening by S. J.Bolton, it was on OK read, really interesting story but I got through it in one night. I'm a big Stephen King fan meow_meow_meow! The Stand is in my top five at least, maybe even top three

Haha! My friends and I prefer bourbon and Jack Daniels is pretty popular over here but my favourite is Makers Mark, I hate Scottish whiskey though. And haggis. Porridge is alright (but not with salt - the "proper" Scottish way to have it) If you look closely you can see I've filled the bottle...

I don't have first hand experience of this exact situation but when my boyfriend moved to a new flat about a year ago, at the same time as his work shifts became a bit disrupted, his cat became very distressed and started displaying OCD type behaviour. In Bateman's case he would bite at his own...

I can't honestly say I've ever paid much attention to his tail but I will from now on! Usually when he is fed up being petted he will just walk off and resist further attention (walking away again) at which point I just leave him alone. For the moment, the pipe gap is plugged up so he can go in...

Oh oops. Sorry for the huge photos, I've taken a total blank how how to resize images. I'll learn for the next time!

Hello again, thanks everyone for your lovely welcome. Here are a couple of photos of Skittles taken this morning. I don't know what on earth has happened but I couldn't find any of the older ones I had except one his first owner sent me when he was only about six weeks so I apologise for them...

I spoke to Mike this morning and he has said he does let Skittles chase him (which I'm guessing would be why he jumps on people's feet) around the house and occasionally shakes toys at him that are not wand or fishing pole (is that right? I've been reading around the site and that's what you...

Well hi there, I already got some great advice in the Behaviour forum last night so I thought if I wanted to stick around I should introduce myself properly! I have one cat, aged 7 months, named Skittles (or as he is more commonly known round these parts right now, the Ginger Menace) I've...

Thanks, I have been nagging my dad for ages so tomorrow I am going to call him and drag him to B'n'Q! If I know what to get he has no excuse lol. I did have the gap (not that big - I really have no idea how he manages to get in and turn to get back out, must open out a big inside there) stuffed...

I can't put him in the bathroom unfortunately as there is a sort of shelf area blocking in all the pipes but the part behind the toilet is open to allow the pipes to come out and he is still small enough to squeeze down there and get all dusty and dirty, the amount of times he's gotten down...

I have just considered and I will speak to my flatmate about this as I guess he might be playing with hands/feet. He knows where the toys are and likes the cat but he's kind of "one of those guys" and I did have to stop him from playing too rough when Skittles was very little. I suppose he...

Hi, thank you for your reply. Sorry I wasn't clear but I absolutely don't play with my hands near him -because of the problems we have had! I am even feeling nervous when petting him now as a couple of times he has started to "mouth" me which I am worried will lead to being bitten and this is...

Aww, my Skittles does that too...or he did until he got too big! Now he makes do with sitting on the back of the couch and resting his paws on my shoulder and nuzzling my neck

Hi everyone, I've been having some problems with my kitten, he is just a bit over 7 months old (already fixed, didn't seem to affect him one bit!) and he bites and scratches a lot - like every time I actively play with him. He also has a very bad habit of jumping at people's feet and legs when...
