A while back I wrote another thread about Reeses' new hobby, Lamp Tipping. She would constantly knock over our end table lamps, usually just onto the couch or up against the wall. Not really a safety concern as one wasn't plugged in and the other we never used so it was never on. Eventually she started knocking them onto the floor. Saying "No!" in a loud voice, or making a loud noise does nothing, and the whole water bottle thing stopped working a while ago.
Now she's started to play with my wife's nightstand lamp. She started just by getting on the nightstand and her tail might hit it, but now she's standing up and pull on the shade. So at 3am my wife had enough, wanted sleep, and put it on the floor. This morning for an hour I couldn't get any sleep because she kept playing with it on the floor, knocking it over even still.
I've had it. I want to be able to put our lamps back and I'm tired of making adjustments for her in this respect (we already do enough of that around here
) I also get concerned for her saftey because she's already broken a bulb from it smashing to the floor and when she tips over the lamp on the floor she sniffs around the cord and that makes me nervous.
Is there anything else I can try to get her disinterested in the lamps and possibly just stay off the nightstand/endtables all together? Like I said the loud noises don't work, she just ignores us, and the water bottle no longer works because as soon as you pick it up she runs away and doesn't seem to learn from it.
Would spraying the lamp and tables with Feliway help or is there something else?
