First of all many thanks to everyone who responded to my MayDay call on how to deal with a very vocal and physical Siamese kitty. He's such a good boy with bad habits I guess you could say.
DAY 2
I came over last night and spent about an hour and half with him. This time I brought the squirt bottle with me. I had it on "Spray" first. Opened the door with my foot wedged and there the little rascal was. Nose on the floor trying to get under my foot. "Spray".....reacted a little but then I said "BACK UP BACK UP"....then he moved. Whew! Ok, first part done. Now walking to the kitchen. "MEYRRRRRRRRRRR MEYRRRRRRRRRR" Man was he vocal. Then he started the slapping of my ankles and wrapped himself around my legs again. Squirted him a few times on the "spray" mode but it didn't do much. I sat on the floor and turned the TV on for some noise and pulled out all the toys. I played him rough with the string. He was flying all over the place. Flipping around and rolling around. It was nice to see. Once I saw that he got pooped out a little I got up to go to the bathroom to clean out their litter box. Bad move. "MEYRRRRRRRRRRRRR MEYRRRRRRRRRRRRR" Wrapped around my leg and took a bite out of my jeans. I came prepared. No skin was showing and an extra pair of long socks and gym shoes was on this body. Once I was done cleaning the box I attemped to go back into place to play with him some more. Again, got attacked. Sprayed him some more and he at least moved a little so I could walk back but still. Soooooooo, I get a phone call on my cell and he goes off and has some food in the kitchen. When I was getting of the phone I realized he wasn't coming back. I went to go check on him and then there he was. Blocking the front door, sprawled out. "Ok, this is gonna be fun." Oh and I tried doing the throwing of the toy bit away from the door so I could escape? He just turned his head slowly it seemed and just gave me this look like "Yeah Right Lady".
Sooooooooooo, after about an hour and a half, it was time for me to go home. I started walking to the door only this time I put my bottle on "Stream". Got myself together and started walking. Well to my amazement, he did his crying but I bent down, petted him and said, "I have to go home now honey, but I'll be back in the morning to feed you and then tomorrow night we can play again". He just looked at me and I began to walk to the door. He didn't move a muscle and I quietly walked out the door as he stood there just looking at me. Whew!!! Wow, that was different.
Saw him this morning and he did a little swatting but did not wrap himself around me. Filled up their water bowls and dry food and I told him I would be back tonight. Petted him some more and as I walked to the door, he started up a little but this time I quirted him a little and he backed off and I left with out drama again.
Ok, this seems too easy. It's only a matter of time before he gets wise to the bottle but we'll see. Maybe I should change it up.
What do you Siamese parents think?
