Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / December 2003Pleased with the cat training so far
This stray that we took in is great. As soon as I started squirting her with a spray bottle for scratching on the furniture, she started using her post. Now she uses the post about a hundred times a day. She's also gotten very playful. She plays with toys constantly. She had a rough life before, so I think her childhood was delayed. :-) Great news!!

Mitch, Thank you for making the adjustments for the sake of giving this cat a home. You will find that she will reward you more than you could imagine. I have been looking at some information on clicker training for cats. Some of these people do amazing things with their cats, including agility courses. I'll bet your cat, with all that energy, would take to it really well. I hope that you will also educate your neighbor as to the declaw procedure in case she decides to adopt a cat. Please let us know how you and your cat are doing. And, what is her name? Annie >I hope that you will also educate your neighbor as to the declaw procedure >in case she decides to adopt a cat. They don't care. They really don't. It's all about how easy and convenient it is for them. You can tell them in graphic detail what declawing entails, and they say "Oh, that's too bad. Well, our cats are very happy, so I'm sure it must be okay." >Please let us know how you and your cat are doing. And, what is her name? Lucy! Sounds like you've made one deserving kitty very happy:)) Besides, I am quite happy with my cat's training, too: Xena isn't too tough on me, and as long as I learn my lessons quickly, and obey her commands, she doesn't ask too much, LOL!

I've got one cat that does great with the spray bottle approach and two who don't. I wish they were all so easy to train. heh  Signature-- ~kaeli~ Kill one man and you are a murderer.

If I ever consider keeping a kitten again I hope someone will shake me till I come to my senses. It's older cats for me from now on. W > Really! Nothing seems to work with Boots.

I've had easy kittens and PITA kittens. *G* Though personally, I'll always get adults from now on just because kittens are so much easier to place and I feel bad for the adults who are so deserving of homes. They're only kittens for 8 months or so. Signature-- ~kaeli~ The definition of a will?... (It's a dead giveaway.) http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace
