Okay, so now I am completely fuming!
I belong to another forum, not about cats, but Im known as the Cat Lady on there, and a lot of the members come to me for advice on the cats.
Anyway, someone posted that they had a new kitty, and it was going mad around the house.
My advice, plain and simple was: Pick up cat, pick up, food, pick up water, pick up litter tray, pick up bed (lets hope they have 4 arms, but you know what I mean!) Enter bathroom, or other designated room.
Place items with cat in said room, shut door, and ignore.
Im now being told, by this person, that if it were them 'Id pick it up, and stick it in the vet box' because its being naughty.
Does anyone else do this? Im sure not? Why put the cat in the vet box for punishment? The vet box is there for the vets only? and should never be a 'bad place'
Anyway, now im being called all sorts of names, and apparently this method is 'in every cat book ive ever read'. Well I dont know whats shes been reading!
Am I wrong?
Purdita has been in the vets today, she cut her leg open on something yesterday, came home in one of them silly collars, and keeps falling over. Anyway, Id had enough, took the collar off, about 10 mins later, shes pinching at the stitches, a firm NO and a pointed finger did the trick, shes now sleeping it off. Did I put her In the cat box? I think not.
Sorry guys, this has wound me up beyond belief
