Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / December 2005Pawsense?
Thank you to everyone who gave input on the doggles idea! I still may try them-- despite his wild and crazy ways Jonas can be a very tolerate cat. He went to Petsmart with me the other day and sat quietly without any fuss. If we could get a handle on his biting I truly think he would make an amazing therapy cat. Now a follow up question- does anyone use the program Pawsense to stop their cat from killing their computer? If so, did you find it truly works? Jonas often shuts down programs and even sends faxes. He's even switched my computer view from Windows 2000 to XP and I still can't figure out how. The real problem is that I have found no good way to teach this cat anything. Everytime he gets on the keyboard I put him on the floor. Simple, right? Expect he just won't stop even if I do it sixty times in a row. Water guns have no effect on him- he loves drinking from them. Air in a can just makes him want to play. Sethran (and the very evil Jonas) Air horn, maybe a cattle prod ( just kidding ) > Thank you to everyone who gave input on the doggles idea!

He seems to like the attention his antics bring. And it must be very hard to ignore them. My cat has a folded up fleecy blanket on my desk which she will settle down on after she has done her emailing and faxing etc... and surfed the net whilst sticking her rear end in my face! After chasing the cursor round the screen she does eventually get bored and go and look for mischief elsewhere. Has your cat got plenty of toys? He sounds like he might be bored. Or in need of another cat to chase round the house! chas > Your cat is obviously the boss here. He seems to like the attention his > antics bring. And it must be very hard to ignore them. Oh, I admit he is the boss. Right now I have fourteen cats and I have had cats all my life. I also have two wolfdogs, one of whom is very much an alpha. I'm a vet tech and work with pets everyday- and yet this five pound kitten is the only one I can't control! I'm really hoping that Penn will be able to help us find a way to teach him rules because not one of my techniques is working. > Has your cat got plenty of toys? He sounds like he might be bored. Or in > need of another cat to chase round the house! Well, it looks like petsmart vomited in this room, so I'd say he has toys aplenty. I think the real problem is he can only be with other cats while he is supervised. While we are all at work, he has to stay in the room by himself. I think he goes into a kind of kitten overload when people are around- he just doesn't know what to do with himself. If we can just get him intergated I think alot of these behavior issues will disappear. Seth (and the world's only fetching blind kitten) He sounds like quite a character with lots of personality. Whilst most cats love a fuss being made of them and to play - usually on their terms of course - he sounds like a real 'people' cat and he just wants to be noticed and involved in what you are doing. Of course that does not get the chores done - but then cats are great time wasters. chas Suddenly, without warning, Dom exclaimed (20-Dec-05 4:28 AM): > Thank you to everyone who gave input on the doggles idea!

Like Jonas, I have a couple that like the water bottle. It's a game to them. It does get a little aggravating at times. The vet I work for suggested mixing some vinegar in with the water in the bottle. It worked like a charm. Now all I have to do is have the bottle sitting where I don't want them to go and they stay away. Maybe this will work with Jonas. Good Luck. > Thank you to everyone who gave input on the doggles idea!
