Attacking the TV?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
Within the last week or so, seemingly out of no where, she's started going on and scratching at my TV screen, whether it's turned on or off, whether there's reflections of any sort of light or not. It doesn't seem to matter. What's more is I can't seem to get her to stop. When I get up to try to get her to stop she'll look at me and lay down but as soon as I go back to my book or whatever else is going on at the time, she's back up and doing it again! I don't know what to do or how to get this to stop! Help me please!

Mine attack the TV, but only when its on and I'm moving the mouse on the screen from my home theater computer. Possibly just while plugged in the TV is starting to emit a high pitch whine or something that you don't notice but kitty does.

If its a flatscreen, you can get really inexpensive wallmounts. I picked mine up for $13 shipped IIRC, and then you can put it out of reach, and it looks nicer to boot IMO.

If its an old-school CRT and its on a table or shelf or something, then perhaps just try to see if you can put a SSSCAT nearby... heck could even mount it to the side of the TV for a while until kitty learns its off limits. If not familair w/ em, they are available at Petsmart and online and are just little cans of compressed air w/ a motion sensor that can be aimed and emits a puff of air when triggered that is harmless but scares the bejesus out of cats.
