Hi -
friend has a cat who is clawing his way thru the screens of her pool
enclosure to get outside.  A cat door is out of the question, bec. she
has two indoor cats, declawed, who can't be allowed out, but who are
allowed around the pool.
Her husband has started yelling at the cat, showing the cat the hole
in the screen, shouting "no" and then tossing him in the pool.  She
quipped that at least he's getting a bath this way - but how can she
break him of ruining the screens?  They haven't exactly caught him in
the act.

For those of you who may recall that I was running a spay clinic ----
well, I may be getting my feet wet again with a group trying to effect
adoptions of cats and kittens.  Just can't stay away from the feline
world, I guess. I can offer a lot of advice, do the bookkeeping etc,
but can't do any fostering - my cat and dh just wouldn't allow it.

Big step forward:  my cat let company PET him!!  after I dragged him
out from under the sink, of course.
