Cat Forum / General Topics / April 2004Training a cat not to be afraid of cars
Hi guys, Well I am a senior poster here and I know this post may cause some arguments but pls understand that I have no option but to resort to this. My QT got run over 5 yrs ago. My cats are indoor since and I have written many posts and have many arguments in cat newsgroups as to why cats should be indoor cats. So that is to clear what I am about. However I rescued a cat (Sparky) from someone few months ago and my neighbors adopted him. For one reason or the other he has been staying with me and is due to go there any day now. My neighbors are wonderful people who adore their cats, and have helped and took in many cats over the last 30 years. Their current 4 cats are outdoor and have a cat flap. For Sparkie to be indoor only will be impossible. We tried, keeping the cat flap locked, but Barney(the biggest one) headbutted it so much not being used to locked cat flap, that he eventually broke it. So that's not gonna work. I can;t keep Sparkie, so the only other option is for me to train him how to NOT go on the road, or run like hell when he sees the car. I wondered if anybody has done similar training. I know that Guide Dogs get training like this but cannot remember how it's done. Please if you have any ideas of how to train him, or any web links let me know. And please refrain from hate/argumentative posts, I wish I could keep him, or keep him indoors, but it's simply impossible. So I just wanna do my best for the little one. He is about a year old and a sweetheart. Thanks Gee I once heard that a man had a similar problem, so he got his friend to get in a car and the owner held the cat as soon as the car came close he threw the cat in front of the car and his friend slammed on brakes so hard. That apparently scared the cat forever. He did this to a few of his cats and he swears by it. I personally would never do it because if you the cat over by accident, then how would you feel?? Not a good idea in my opinion. Blazef > Hi guys, > [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > Thanks > Gee > Hi guys, > [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > Thanks > Gee Now this is an idiotic posting. Why in the world would you want to train a cat to not be afraid of cars? It seems to me this twit of a woman would want just the opposite. Like I said the other day, everyone is different. --Geno "Gene Royer" <Siregeno@Mindset.net> wrote in message > Now this is an idiotic posting. It's OK Geno. It doesn't mean it's idiotic just becuse you didn't post it > Why in the world would you want to train a cat to not be afraid of cars? Well, it would help your reply if you read the post you are REPLYING TO first! > It seems to me this twit of a woman would want just the opposite. It;'s not nice calling your mother names honey. > Like I said the other day, everyone is different. Yeah, we do notice this in your replies lately Gee > --Geno > "Gene Royer" <Siregeno@Mindset.net> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > It;'s not nice calling your mother names honey. Ahha, so the gloves are off now, eh? My my, how quickly you changed your tone when I called you on your idiotic posting. --Geno "Gene Royer" <Siregeno@Mindset.net> wrote in message > > It;'s not nice calling your mother names honey. > > Ahha, so the gloves are off now, eh? ??????? How on earth did you get to this conclusion??????? Aah, you are kidding of course.You must be. Or you are feverish. > My my, how quickly you changed your tone when I called you on your idiotic > posting. Which tune did I change exactly? I said nothing I didn;t before, nor have I changed any tunes so I as usual you are either jumping to conclusions, jumping the gun, or just plainly don't understand or have not read the posting. You pick. As for "idiotic posting"... YOU not understanding what I am talking about, doesn;t make MY post idiotic... Gee > --Geno <snip> Training a cat to be afraid of cars is the most mindless idiotic post I've ever seen. Just throw your damn cat off a roof or something and get on with it. This line of posts make me sick. Here kitty kitty kitty. You're an ignoramus and you deserve to be flamed and to have to put up with posts like mine. Your cat deserves better than to have such a fool like you for a companion. Please give it up to someone with more than a kindergarten education. > <snip> > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Your cat deserves better than to have such a fool like you for a companion. > Please give it up to someone with more than a kindergarten education. Whoop! What a hoot! Actually, the posting subject was training a cat NOT to be afraid of cars; but the idiocy is comparable. --Geno >Actually, the posting subject was training a cat NOT to be afraid of cars; I guess I missed the word NOT. Nice satire of the other post. "Gene Royer" <Siregeno@Mindset.net> wrote in message > Actually, the posting subject was training a cat NOT to be afraid of cars; > but the idiocy is comparable. > > --Geno Of course superhuman who is superior to cats like you never make a small typing mistake. <sigh> You are such a waste of time geno. You are soooo full of hate. Gee > <snip> > > Training a cat to be afraid of cars is the most mindless idiotic post I've ever seen. No, it's not. It's this one you just written. I have MORE THEN CLEARLY for those with SOME intelligence explained why, how when and where, so if you didn't figure it out, don't send idiotic replies to my or other people's posts. I have asked for help and gave detailed explanations. I have also asked those like you to refrain from idiotic and useless hate posts, so I can see you obviously can't read a simple instructions. > Just throw your damn cat off a roof or something and get on with it. Nice advice. And you call yourself a cat lover? Troll more like it. > This line of posts make me sick. So true. Hate-posts like yours, Brenchleys and Geno's definitely deserve to be ignored. > You're an ignoramus and you deserve to be flamed and to have to put up with > posts like mine. Perhaps you can't read? I dunno. I suggest going back to school. Like I said already I explained all the details in my post (apart from making a mistake in title which I BLATANTLY clarified in the post), why when where and how, and just because YOU didn;t understand it and have no people skills as to how to help and when is the good time to talk and when to shuddup, you are turning nasty on a wrong person, at the wrong time. If you don't stop behaving like Brenchley you will be killfiled like Brenchley. I don;t have to time for humans like you, and trust me I do not need to put up with you, Gene and Brenchley. > Your cat deserves better than to have such a fool like you for a companion. At least I love my cats enough to try and help them, even when it means listening to unhelpful name calling so and sos like you. You are obviously here only to create trouble. And we all know what happens to trolls. > Please give it up to someone with more than a kindergarten education. And this from a man who cannot read simple instructions?? He he. But to reply, unfortunately for you I can't do that. See, me and all the people I know are university educated. Have any other unhelpful and useless advice? Gee The title is suppose to say : "Training a cat TO BE afraid of cars" Of course those who have read the full post, will OBVIOUSLY and EASILY realise what I really meant. (Not a brain surgery Geno and Govtlawyer). Gee > The title is suppose to say : > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Gee Well, it's really not hard to write online if you get your head out of your a.s and watch the little letters that come up on the screen. --Geno<glad I could straighten you out on that>Royer > > The title is suppose to say : > > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > --Geno<glad I could straighten you out on that>Royer Like I said, understanding my post title was a simple mistake was not a brain surgery Geno, but, obviously, it;s too hard for you to comprehend the concept of a typo, or many other concepts for that matter, like people skills for example. Hence you resorting to abuse. Keep going, you are only making yourself less credible and risk being killfiled not just by me. So really, its all up to you. When are you gonna learn? <sigh> Gee
