I have two cats. My cat named Peachey seems to have been born knowing exactly all the things a good pet cat should do. You'd think he was telepathic and could read my mind.
My OTHER cat Isabel was born absolutely clueless. The only thing these two cats have in common is that neither one scratches or bites.
Now, obviously I'd like your discipline tips for Isabel. She leaps on the furniture and counters. She pulls papers out of my garbage beside my computer desk and shreds them then scatters them around. Now she has taken to jumping on my other cat. Peachey is at least twice her size and despite the fact he could easily teach her a lesson he doesn't as he knows I'd be upset at that behavior.
So... what do you suggest I do to discipline her? She seems unaffected by anything I do and I try hard to catch her RIGHT after she's done the deed. A swat doesn't bother her at all, neither does getting squirted. At the moment what I do is catch her and put her in the carrier till she calms down.
