I cannot find a post that someone wrote yesterday about 'panting like a dog' in front of your cat. She said her kitty was afraid and I said I would get back to her on this since Misty was sleeping at the time....well I tried the panting like a dog and Misty just about ignored me, she just yawned and that was it, I tried it twice and it didn't have any effect on her at all, all cats are different I guess
