Dori's Agressive Behavior

yes thats right, one day at a time.
i have just made that box with the ping pong balls for socks, its been 1/2 hour, and not so much as a claw in sight, i cant believe for the first time, my skin is able to heal, although i do need to walk past it in a min to get to the kitchen....i wonder if its safe ,i shall report back shortly and let you know.
as for getting past dori...do it slowlt tanya, try not to make quick sudden movement, you may just make it to the other end of the room.

Monica- I will let you know about the ball box when I try it. I was going to head out to get cat nip and balls, but we are under severe storm warnings, so I think I am going to wait until tomorrow....
Carrie- I made it past her that time, but she just got me as I came out of the bathroom. She bit the back of my leg. I said calmly but firmly Dori No, and she laid down. Carrie, I wish you luck as you go to the kitchen, I am here if you need me.

tanya it was terrible, i thought he was in the box, so i walked to the fridge, thinking i was safe, all of a sudden, i felt stabbin pins all up my legs, right the way up my back, to my shoulders.....sorry i am just in a state of shock,
how is your leg, are you ok

Yes, my leg is ok. Dori was just cuddling with me, like nothing ever happened. I am so sorry to hear that Socks got you again. Next time I go to the bathroom, I am going armed with the laser pointer. If she attacks I am gonna divert her attention with that, I hope it works.

look what weve resorted to, having to walk round our houses armed

I know, soon we will need space suits and helmets!

body armour sound good

I am looking at her sleeping right now, she is so innocent looking. I love her so much, I don't mean to talk bad about her, I am just going to be patient and continue working with her on it.

i know how u feel, socks is sleepin now aswell, he looks like he couldnt harm a fly, but that box thing is good, u should try it

Hello ladies!

My name is Jakkie and I used to have the same problem. My baby boy (Dexter) used to wait until I go to bed and wanted to play...run accross my head at high speed...all claws extended. We had a power failure the one night and I had a spritz bottle with me to cool off by spraying my legs (middle of summer) when out of the blue he tried "crazy kitten manuever". I was so surprised that I didn't lift my finger from the spray bottle and accidentally got him in the face. He very quickly backed off and everytime he saw the spritzer he just came for a cuddle.

My hubby told me as well that I just let the cats get away with murder, because Dexter did it to him once and hubby gave him a smack on the bottom and he didn't do it again. And I only used the spray bottle a couple of times, but he quickly learnt that wet whiskers wasn't a good sensation.

Maybe it is worth a try, instead of a watergun just a spritzer...

Hey guys, I was wondering how big a box you guys made for your cats. I'm putting together plans for a new cat tree / play center and for the one to go in my kitchen I'd really like the bottom of it to be one of these boxes so they can play in there and not have the toys end up in their litter area or under the oven or refridgerator.
