In summary: I screamed like a little girl and the animal control guy threw the bag over the cat's head and squeezed. The cat went limp in the bag. It was one of the scariest things I've ever done, but I made it out unscathed. So I'm not exactly scared of cats, but I am definitely cautios about getting scratched by them. In summary, Moonbear was telling the story of how her cat Ember is doing, and how she is going through the terrible twos now. She also mentions how Ember is teaching her how to throw around kitty litter, and how the stray cat that had kittens a few

Yup, nothing like teaching bad habits to a developing mind.

He's either planning to have it declawed eventually, or he is setting himself up for 10-20 years of continually having clawmarks on his hands and arms.

Nah, Ember plays that way and I don't get any claw marks...just teeth marks. :rolleyes: But if she goes too far, all I have to do is hiss at her and she backs off.

I have to agree with you there, Redbelly. Too many people teach kittens that hands are playthings to bite, scratch, and attack, and then get pissed off with the cat when the cat continues that behaviour when they're grown and it's not "cute" any longer.

I had a beautiful three-year-old cat, who I adopted from the SPCA, who required some serious patience and retraining to get him not to bite and attack a hand when he was being petted. He was such a loving, great guy, but someone had taught him all wrong. At 16 pounds, it hurt when he attacked. But he was a good learner. Still. I can see all kinds of people giving up on cats because of that behaviour.

Eh, I agree with Moonbear. You can teach limits as well as behavior. But, part of the problem that I've seen [in myself as well as others] is that men esp will allow play that is way too aggressive. It may be an acceptable level of play for one person, but everyone gets ripped.

Related: Bun II was a stray cat that I picked up in a hotel. She was a great cat, but she was pretty wild and like to play reeeeeealy hard, which was fine with me. But, one day Tsu had the minister from her Presbyterian church over for coffee. When she - the minster - tried to pet Bun and offer a little play, Bun bloodied her hand! I mean she really let the minister have it. Tsu was embarrassed, and the minister was bleeding pretty good, so I explained that Bun was Catholic.

My favorite cat when I was little would play rough, I allowed it since he was a kitten, he'd grab my hand with his front paws and kick and scratch with his hind feet. I'd have a swollen, bleeding, itching stump (I'm allergic to cat scratches). But he knew the difference between "play time" and non play time. Unless I attacked him with my hand and he knew it was ok to get rough, he was the most passive, loving cat on earth. He would climb on my shoulder and drool on my neck, I actually had to place a towel there to keep from getting drool soaked.

Really? I thought it was sort of snotty looking. I picture the cat saying "I'm better than you and I'm not going to acknowledge your presence."

What's the difference between a cat & a dog? A dog thinks about its owner: "He feeds me, he grooms me, he takes care of all my needs... He must be God". A cat thinks: "He feeds me, grooms me, takes care of me. I am God".

8 am- Oh boy! Dog food! My favorite!

9 am- Oh boy! The kids! My favorite!

Noon- Oh boy! The yard! My favorite!

2 pm- Oh boy! A car ride! My favorite!

3 pm- Oh boy! The kids! My favorite!

4 pm- Oh boy! Playing ball! My favorite!

6 pm- Oh boy! Welcome home Mom! My favorite!

7 pm- Oh boy! Welcome home Dad! My favorite!

8 pm- Oh boy! Dog food! My favorite!

9 pm- Oh boy! Tummy rubs on the couch! My favorite!

11 pm- Oh boy! Sleeping in my people's bed! My favorite!


As seen in a cat's diary:


Day 183 of my captivity...

My captors continued to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.
They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The
only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild
satisfaction I get from clawing the furniture. Tomorrow I may eat another
house plant. Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their
feet While they were walking almost succeeded - must try this at the top of
the stairs. In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I
once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair - must try this
on their bed.

Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body in an attempt To
make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear in their
hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I
was. - Hmmm, not working according to plan.

There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in
solitary throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell
the food. More important, I overheard that my confinement was due to my
powers of inducing "allergies."- Must learn what this is and how to use it
to my advantage.

I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog
is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously
a half-wit. The bird, on the other hand, has got to be an informant and
speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to
his current placement in the metal room, his safety is assured.

But I can wait - it is only a matter of time.

Ember does that! I have to lock her out of my office when I'm printing! The first time, I did what I often do, started a print job and walked away. Later, when I noticed the ink all over her paws, I went CRAZY trying to find what she got into, expecting to find a half-eaten pen or ink bottle knocked over somewhere. Took me a while to realize she was attacking the printer. :frown:
