How about catnip? Will that work when I try to escape his apartment so he does not attack or wrap himself around my legs again? Gotta get some treats and I'm wondering if "Rescue Remedy" will work on him too.

Do you think I can use catnip on the other side of the room and then escape with any trouble or do you think that will make things worse? There is another kitty in the house who is never seen.

Thanks gang!

It does sound typical Siamese behaviour
catnip or treats might work if you alternate them, they are very intelligent and he will soon work out what you are doing
rolling a ball away from the door for him to chase might work a couple of times as well. Good luck

Thanks for the advice. I'll bring my catnip with me.

Yes, he caught on real quick with the old shaking of the can with the coins inside trick. Smart cat. Dumb human. Hehehehe
