Either not many people have had their cats sneeze in the long term or
my subject line of "Achoo Achoo Achoo" didn't convince many people to
read the message...

Just wanted to double-check here, since my previous message about
biting received so many responses.  My cat has been sneezing for about
a month, has had two trips to the vet, has been on two different
medications (nose drops and an anti-biotic (amoxacilin)) and continues
to sneeze.  I'm just looking for anyone who has had similar experiences
with their cat.  Has anyone else had a cat that has sneezed for a long
time?  Should I keep taking him to the vet and throwing money at this
every two weeks until I can not afford kitty litter anymore?

Any information would be great!

BTW, he appears to be in great health at 1 years old; running, playing,
eating, drinking, using the litterbox... Except for the occasional
sneeze he seems to be doing fine but I just haven't heard of mnany
other cases of long-term sneezing and read that the sneezing can lead
to serious bacterial infections.  

Thanks,

David.

David--our cat, Bart, is approximately 11 years old--and he has been
sneezing for years.  He has been on antibiotics, and is currently on
Clavimox (liquid) plus an antihistamine that we rub on his ear flap (we
can't pill this cat).

Last couple of days he seems to be doing much better--he isn't getting
into so many sneezing jags.

Like your cat, Bart does not have watery eyes--and is very active and
playful.  I think he probably has allergies.

Have the vet perscribe an antihistamine along with the
antibiotic.--becky

I didn't see the post as I've been busy on the dog groups.

Yeah. EVERY SINGLE WON told you to HURT and INTIMIDATE
your kat for attacking you like HOWE they do theirs.

Your kat is having obsessive compulsive anxiety attacks.

BECAUSE HE AIN'T SICK, HE'S GONE INSANE.

There's ample CASE HISTORY DATA below.

> Has anyone else had a cat that has sneezed for a long time?

Yeah, you'll see TWO SIMILAR CASE HISTORIES below
and if you want to PROVE IT, you'll EITHER study
your FREE COPY of The Amazing Pussy Wizard's 100%
CONSISTENTLY NEARLY INSTANTLY SUCCESSFUL FREE WWW
Wits' End Dog Training Method Manual

           http://www.tinyurl.com/7bl5u

OR you'll temporarilly give your kat to someWON who
DON'T INTIMIDATE IT and he'll STOP SNEEZING IN WON
DAY and if he DON'T, you'll KNOW HE'S SICK and needs
the VET.

BUT HE AIN'T SICK of NUTHIN but being abused.

Subject: Ferocious, Biting, Ravage, Pain-Inflicting Cat

Okay, so perhaps he is not quite that bad, but he does bite.  He's a
year old, indoor, neutered American Shorthair and I love him so, but he

bites.  I'm okay with him biting if I invade his space; I understand
that if he doesn't want to be petted that I should just stay away.  He
terrorizes my fiancee though.  We were living together when we got him
so it is not like he is responding to a new element in his territory.

The problem is that we can both be ignoring him and he will do this: he

will sit a few feet from her and then just attack and dig in with his
teeth.  Sometime she will be pull her hands away and cower away from
him, but he still does it.  It's unprovoked and I'm wondering if anyone

has advice on what we might do to calm this cat (he is neutered).

Thanks,

David.

Hmmm... I just tried to wrestle him... He got a pretty good chunk of
skin out of my hand...  Getting blood all over the keyboard now.  He
does look satisfied though.  Really... I have two ways to stop the
teeth from getting my hands when we're playing:

1.  Put my hand around his neck (from the front) and keep it close
enough so that my fingers are under his chin.  Problem is that this
feels a bit too tight and I am scared that if he squirms too much I'll
end up squeezing his neck, causing him to squirm more, making the
squeeze seriously injure him... He used to have to undergo a similar
procedure when his front claws were getting clipped (we've since worked

out a two-person method of clipping his claws that keeps him relatively

free- distraction).

2.  Put my hand through a thick blanket and let him dig into that.
I've tried grabbing the back of his head but he puts up too much of a
fight and I don't feel comfortable holding his head with that much
tossing and pulling... I'd hate for his neck to get hurt.

Thanks for all the suggestions though everyone.  He has been looking
more like he is walking on thin ice when he goes in for an attack now
than he did a week ago.  Now he doesn't send out 30 seconds of "I'm
about to try to eat you" before sinking his teeth in; it's more of a
suprise attack lately.

Subject: Re: Ferocious, Biting, Ravage, Pain-Inflicting Cat

Thank you for the replies everyone!  I have heard the "love nibbles"
remark before and I do think Buddy (my cat) does love nibble from time
to time and sometimes his bites are for play, but I believe these
attacks he does to Jen are a bit different.  If she tries to play with
him with a toy, stick, string, or anything else, he still focuses on
biting her, ears back and tail wagging like a happy puppy (not good
signs of course)

It seems like a dominance issue and no amount of sound seems to affect
it (crying or yelling).  He often opens wide and tries to grab a hand
with both paws before sinking his teeth in when one approaches to flick

his nose (the nose flicking was attempted in the past) so it has been
difficult to find a solution here.

We've been scared to wack him on the head or the butt (he had an FHO on

a hind leg about 6 months ago) in the past but have tried finding the
degree of head wack that gets his attention over the last couple of
days.  He has still been going in for at least one or two good bites
each day, but I think he is getting the point.  Please let me know if
this sounds like something that is dangerous to him... We're not
hitting him with all out force by any means; the reason I think it is
probably safe is because I'm sure he hits his head much harder himself
when running into things or miscalculating a daring jump.

I hope this is something that comes to a conclusion soon; him nibbling
my toes, although painful, does not bother me all that much, but when
he's drawing blood things are going too far.  For the most part he is a

playful, cuddly, head-rubbing (sebumming), adorable furball.  If anyone

is home he is usually within feet and I guess my biggest fear is making

him so scared of us that he won't come around like this in the future.

I'll update the thread next week!

Thanks again,

David

Subject: Pulling out fur: neurotic, or what?!

I need some help and advice *desperately*!

My 2 1/2 yr. old Seal-point Siamese, Minx, is absolutely miserable, and

after 4 visits, the vet still hasn't figured out what's wrong with
her...  I'm hoping someone here will recognize these symptoms...

Short story, there are 3 problems:
(1) she's pulling out all her fur, although her skin is in perfect
condition - no marks or anything, so we don't think it's an allergy or
fungus or anything.

(2) she's a miserable b***h (if you know what I mean), and even though
she *had* settled in very nicely with the new kitten, playing, chasing
and bathing him, she's now just nasty to him and the dog.  Growling and

screaming at them if they come anywhere near her, doing this weird
sneezing/snorting/schnuffling thing, and just generally a severe
grumpy-puss - no fun to be around at all.  (she's usually a very sweet
little cat :-(

(3) this weird sneezing/snorting thing - the vet doesn't think it's
anything to worry about, but it's bothering me.  She seems to do it
mostly when the kitten or dog gets close and p's her off, but I've
heard
her suddenly go into a sneezing fit for seemingly no reason, when she's

all alone sleeping - and occasionally after a sneezing fit I notice her

nose is wet...

Personally, I think she's become neurotic, so for those who are still
with me, here's the long story:

Sept. 25 - I took her to the vet (oh, the trauma!) to get her yearly
booster, but because she had a bit of an eye infection, and was
sneezing
some, the vet said to clear that up first, then bring her back for her
shot.  I spent  a week chasing and catching her twice a day to give her

eye-gel and liquid anti-biotics, which is the most traumatic thing
she's
ever been through (I'm not kidding, I've had many cats in my time, but
NO ONE has been as upset and purely terrorized as she has when I have
to
give her her meds - it's like I'm murdering her).  In this time, she
became *very* unsociable and grumpy, hiding under the bed, and afraid
to
come out lest I catch her to give her meds.

Oct.10 - I took her back to the vet (trip #2) after her eye cleared up
(the sneezing never really did), and believe me, the 20 min car ride
each way did not help with her trauma.  So she got her booster shot,
and
he told me the sneezing was nothing to worry about, she had no
upper-respiratory problems and her lungs were clear.  I was horrified
to
find, a couple of hours after we got home, that she had chewed a bare
patch of fur from her right 'forearm'.  She had NOT been outside, and
there was nothing she could have gotten into, so I figured she was just

so traumatized that she chewed it off...

Oct.15 - It was a much bigger bare patch (maybe 3" up her 'arm'), and
she'd become such a nasty and unsociable beast,  so I boxed  her up
(more trauma), and took her back to the vet (trip #3).  I told him I
really thought she was being neurotic, and if he could just give her a
shot of valium or something, and let her have some time off with no
chasing and no meds, that she'd get back to normal.  He disagreed,
believed she somehow got something on her arm, went overboard licking
it
clean, and licked all the fur off.  He gave her a shot of anti-allergy
something-or-other, and gave me more antibiotics to torment her with
twice a day for TEN MORE DAYS!!!  (although 15 ml only lasted 7 1/2
days, not enough for 10)

So of course, the next week was absolute hell for us both, and in that
time, she started pulling the fur out of her back and sides.  I was
determined to give her every drop of her medicine, regardless of how
upset she got, but by the end of the week, she was no better, and was
just such a miserable wench, the whole household was cringing in fear
of
her wrath.

So I chased/caught/boxed her up again for the 4th trip to the vet
(Oct.24), and this time he agreed that I may be right and she may just
be neurotic.  So he prescribed liquid PROZAC (fluoxetine) - I'm not
kidding, I had to get it from my own pharmacy - and he told me I have
to
give her .75 ml once a day for SIXTY DAYS!  I only bought a 10-day dose

though, because I just can't see traumatizing her for 60 days...

The first time I gave her the Prozac, it was even worse than the other
meds - she FREAKED OUT, and was foaming at the mouth, moaning, and it
was just horrible.  I cried.  However, the next morning, for the first
time in *weeks*, she crawled into bed with me.  I thought, as long as
she was getting a little more sociable, I'm not going to continue
traumatizing her by chasing her and giving her this stuff, so I stopped

the Prozac and observed.

Although she was no longer hiding under the bed and was coming out of
her basket to visit us every once in a while, she was still a growling
nasty snaggle-puss - so after 4 days off, I gave her the Prozac 2 more
days in a row...  She hasn't had any since Oct.31st, so has had 4 days
off it.

Right now, as I'm typing this, for the first time in WEEKS, she's on
the
bed with the kitten playing with him, although she's being VERY loud
and
b**chy, she's actually playing, and allowing him to grab her tail.
This
warms the cockles of my heart, it really does, but the thing is, she's
still pulling out her fur, and still unpleasant to listen to.  She's
also still 'sneezing' but it's a weird sneezing/snorting/schnuffling
noise, and she mostly does it when she's mad and is growling and
complaining about the kitten or dog getting too close.

So after this very long story (thanks to all of those
who are still with me :-) I'd like to know:

(a) if anyone has ever had a similar problem, and
if so, how you handled it, and

(b) if you think I should take her back to the vet
a 5th time (risk traumatizing her further and going
back to square one) to see what he says about the
fur-pulling and weird sneezing.

THANK YOU so much for taking the time to read all of
this, I know it's long, but I do love my fur-babies,
and I'm hoping there's someone out there who can help us!!!

That was one heck of a post.
I'm not convinced this has anything to do with abuse.

Kitty likes to wrestle.  The blankets have stopped him from biting skin
too!  In the morning he paws at the bedroom blankets until something
wrestles him.  After about five minutes of wrestling, it's a few
minutes of fetch, and then a nap on my pillow.

He's not terrorized like the kitty in the post you've copied though.
I've seen how kitties that pull their hair out are seriously stressed.

Very impressive amount of time you wasted copying my other post though!

Any grown cat that draws blood from me (on purpose)
had better have a damn good reason (that *I* agree
with) or gets a smack in the head.

As far as rough play is concerned... attack first.
Give kitty the "I'm Going To Eat You!!! routine"
which gives him plenty of time to figure out which
way to run when you lunge.  When he looks to be in
an uninvited "attack mode" snap your hand out and
give him a noogie.

No, she didn't GET SICK she ATE Gorilly Glue and
puked and sh.t her bloody guts out on the kitchen

PUNISHING and SCOLDING her dog for STEALIN STUFF.

It's possible to teach a dog not to eat out
of a cat bowl without too much difficulty.

My dogs don't touch the food in the cat bowls
although Roz licks up any bits that have been
dropped around the bowls :-)

I used a can with stones in it to create a
distraction anytime the dogs tried to eat
the cats food, followed with immediate praise.

It worked a treat.

The cats bowls are down all the time, usually
there is food left over but the dogs don't eat it,
even if we go out and leave the dogs with
access inside through a dog door.

the hands of supposedly adult dog lovers.

The other naive child (LSW) has to put up with
the nagging idea that if people like them had
been posting earlier, maybe we would not have
had to hold the head of a really magnificent
animal in our arms while he was given the
needle and having to hug him and wait until
he gasped his last gasp.

To my mind, "naive" is believing you can
terrorize a dog into good behavior.  Naive is
believing that people that hide behind fake
names are more honest than people that use
their real names.

Naive is thinking that dilettante dog breeders
and amateur "trainers" like Joey
(lyingdogDUMMY, j.h.) are the equal or better
than those that have studied and lived by their
craft for decades.

"Stupid" is believing that people do not see
kindergarten level insults for what they are.

Really stupid is believing that people like
Jerry Howe and Marilyn Rammell are going
to just go away because you people act like
fools.  Why do you act like fools?  I really
have no idea, and I don't really care.

Subject: Ferocious, Biting, Ravage, Pain-Inflicting Cat

Okay, so perhaps he is not quite that bad, but he does bite.  He's a
year old, indoor, neutered American Shorthair and I love him so, but he

bites.  I'm okay with him biting if I invade his space; I understand
that if he doesn't want to be petted that I should just stay away.  He
terrorizes my fiancee though.  We were living together when we got him
so it is not like he is responding to a new element in his territory.

The problem is that we can both be ignoring him and he will do this: he

will sit a few feet from her and then just attack and dig in with his
teeth.  Sometime she will be pull her hands away and cower away from
him, but he still does it.  It's unprovoked and I'm wondering if anyone

has advice on what we might do to calm this cat (he is neutered).

Thanks,

David.

Hmmm... I just tried to wrestle him... He got a pretty good chunk of
skin out of my hand...  Getting blood all over the keyboard now.  He
does look satisfied though.  Really... I have two ways to stop the
teeth from getting my hands when we're playing:

1.  Put my hand around his neck (from the front) and keep it close
enough so that my fingers are under his chin.  Problem is that this
feels a bit too tight and I am scared that if he squirms too much I'll
end up squeezing his neck, causing him to squirm more, making the
squeeze seriously injure him... He used to have to undergo a similar
procedure when his front claws were getting clipped (we've since worked

out a two-person method of clipping his claws that keeps him relatively

free- distraction).

2.  Put my hand through a thick blanket and let him dig into that.
I've tried grabbing the back of his head but he puts up too much of a
fight and I don't feel comfortable holding his head with that much
tossing and pulling... I'd hate for his neck to get hurt.

Thanks for all the suggestions though everyone.  He has been looking
more like he is walking on thin ice when he goes in for an attack now
than he did a week ago.  Now he doesn't send out 30 seconds of "I'm
about to try to eat you" before sinking his teeth in; it's more of a
suprise attack lately.

Thank you for the replies everyone!  I have heard the "love nibbles"
remark before and I do think Buddy (my cat) does love nibble from time
to time and sometimes his bites are for play, but I believe these
attacks he does to Jen are a bit different.  If she tries to play with
him with a toy, stick, string, or anything else, he still focuses on
biting her, ears back and tail wagging like a happy puppy (not good
signs of course)

It seems like a dominance issue and no amount of sound seems to affect
it (crying or yelling).  He often opens wide and tries to grab a hand
with both paws before sinking his teeth in when one approaches to flick

his nose (the nose flicking was attempted in the past) so it has been
difficult to find a solution here.

We've been scared to wack him on the head or the butt (he had an FHO on

a hind leg about 6 months ago) in the past but have tried finding the
degree of head wack that gets his attention over the last couple of
days.  He has still been going in for at least one or two good bites
each day, but I think he is getting the point.  Please let me know if
this sounds like something that is dangerous to him... We're not
hitting him with all out force by any means; the reason I think it is
probably safe is because I'm sure he hits his head much harder himself
when running into things or miscalculating a daring jump.

I hope this is something that comes to a conclusion soon; him nibbling
my toes, although painful, does not bother me all that much, but when
he's drawing blood things are going too far.  For the most part he is a

playful, cuddly, head-rubbing (sebumming), adorable furball.  If anyone

is home he is usually within feet and I guess my biggest fear is making

him so scared of us that he won't come around like this in the future.

I'll update the thread next week!

Thanks again,

David

Subject: Pulling out fur: neurotic, or what?!

I need some help and advice *desperately*!

My 2 1/2 yr. old Seal-point Siamese, Minx, is absolutely miserable, and

after 4 visits, the vet still hasn't figured out what's wrong with
her...  I'm hoping someone here will recognize these symptoms...

Short story, there are 3 problems:
(1) she's pulling out all her fur, although her skin is in perfect
condition - no marks or anything, so we don't think it's an allergy or
fungus or anything.

(2) she's a miserable b***h (if you know what I mean), and even though
she *had* settled in very nicely with the new kitten, playing, chasing
and bathing him, she's now just nasty to him and the dog.  Growling and

screaming at them if they come anywhere near her, doing this weird
sneezing/snorting/schnuffling thing, and just generally a severe
grumpy-puss - no fun to be around at all.  (she's usually a very sweet
little cat :-(

(3) this weird sneezing/snorting thing - the vet doesn't think it's
anything to worry about, but it's bothering me.  She seems to do it
mostly when the kitten or dog gets close and p's her off, but I've
heard her suddenly go into a sneezing fit for seemingly no reason, when
she's
all alone sleeping - and occasionally after a sneezing fit I notice her

nose is wet..

Personally, I think she's become neurotic,
so for those who are still with me, here's
the long story:

Sept. 25 - I took her to the vet (oh, the trauma!)
to get her yearly booster, but because she had a bit
of an eye infection, and was sneezing some, the vet
said to clear that up first, then bring her back for
her shot.

I spent  a week chasing and catching her twice a day to give her
eye-gel and liquid anti-biotics, which is the most traumatic thing
she's ever been through (I'm not kidding, I've had many cats in my
time, but
NO ONE has been as upset and purely terrorized as she has when I have
to give her her meds - it's like I'm murdering her).  In this time, she

became *very* unsociable and grumpy, hiding under the bed, and afraid
to come out lest I catch her to give her meds.

Oct.10 - I took her back to the vet (trip #2) after her eye cleared up
(the sneezing never really did), and believe me, the 20 min car ride
each way did not help with her trauma.  So she got her booster shot,
and he told me the sneezing was nothing to worry about, she had no
upper-respiratory problems and her lungs were clear.  I was horrified
to find, a couple of hours after we got home, that she had chewed a
bare
patch of fur from her right 'forearm'.  She had NOT been outside, and
there was nothing she could have gotten into, so I figured she was just

so traumatized that she chewed it off...

Oct.15 - It was a much bigger bare patch (maybe 3" up her 'arm'), and
she'd become such a nasty and unsociable beast,  so I boxed  her up
(more trauma), and took her back to the vet (trip #3).  I told him I
really thought she was being neurotic, and if he could just give her a
shot of valium or something, and let her have some time off with no
chasing and no meds, that she'd get back to normal.  He disagreed,
believed she somehow got something on her arm, went overboard licking
it clean, and licked all the fur off.  He gave her a shot of
anti-allergy
something-or-other, and gave me more antibiotics to torment her with
twice a day for TEN MORE DAYS!!!  (although 15 ml only lasted 7 1/2
days, not enough for 10)

So of course, the next week was absolute hell for us both, and in that
time, she started pulling the fur out of her back and sides.  I was
determined to give her every drop of her medicine, regardless of how
upset she got, but by the end of the week, she was no better, and was
just such a miserable wench, the whole household was cringing in fear
of her wrath.

So I chased/caught/boxed her up again for the 4th trip to the vet
(Oct.24), and this time he agreed that I may be right and she may just
be neurotic.  So he prescribed liquid PROZAC (fluoxetine) - I'm not
kidding, I had to get it from my own pharmacy - and he told me I have
to give her .75 ml once a day for SIXTY DAYS!  I only bought a 10-day
dose
though, because I just can't see traumatizing her for 60 days...

The first time I gave her the Prozac, it was even worse than the other
meds - she FREAKED OUT, and was foaming at the mouth, moaning, and it
was just horrible.  I cried.  However, the next morning, for the first
time in *weeks*, she crawled into bed with me.  I thought, as long as
she was getting a little more sociable, I'm not going to continue
traumatizing her by chasing her and giving her this stuff, so I stopped

the Prozac and observed.

Although she was no longer hiding under the bed and was coming out of
her basket to visit us every once in a while, she was still a growling
nasty snaggle-puss - so after 4 days off, I gave her the Prozac 2 more
days in a row...  She hasn't had any since Oct.31st, so has had 4 days
off it.

Right now, as I'm typing this, for the first time in WEEKS, she's on
the bed with the kitten playing with him, although she's being VERY
loud
and b**chy, she's actually playing, and allowing him to grab her tail.
This warms the cockles of my heart, it really does, but the thing is,
she's
still pulling out her fur, and still unpleasant to listen to.  She's
also still 'sneezing' but it's a weird sneezing/snorting/schnuffling
noise, and she mostly does it when she's mad and is growling and
complaining about the kitten or dog getting too close.

So after this very long story (thanks to all of those
who are still with me :-) I'd like to know:

(a) if anyone has ever had a similar problem, and
if so, how you handled it, and

(b) if you think I should take her back to the vet
a 5th time (risk traumatizing her further and going
back to square one) to see what he says about the
fur-pulling and weird sneezing.

THANK YOU so much for taking the time to read all of
this, I know it's long, but I do love my fur-babies,
and I'm hoping there's someone out there who can help us!!!

Abuse doesn't have to mean you're TORTURING him
or intentionally being MEAN, but you were advised
to slap your kitty around to TEACH HIM MANNERS.

> I've seen how kitties that pull their hair out

You've ADMITTED your own kat has "bipolar" problems.

ALL OCD'S are CAUSED BY MISHANDLING.

> Very impressive amount of time you wasted copying

WON look at the HISTORY of the critter. When the

Dear Jerry,  I paged through some of the "dog business"

from professors of behavior analysis.

I had the very great privilege of meeting Sam Corson
(Pavlov's last Ph.D. student) and his dogs at Ohio
University.  I even got to spend a night at Sam's house.

There is no question but that you are a spiritual brother
to Corson and to Pavlov, both of whom knew that the dog's
great capacity for love was the key to shaping doggie behavior.

Paradoxical reward and paradoxical fixing of attention are
both well documented Pavlovian techniques.  Even so humorless

"The Misbehavior of Organisms" demonstrate the utility of your
methods and their deep roots in scientific (as opposed to

Scott, Jerry Howe forwarded me the letter below.
I'm glad that you referred negatively to Jerry's
habit of CAPITALIZING and HOWEING everything.

I personally hate this habit of his. I think it is his
way of diluting his authority - IME he is a very modest
fellow. However, contrary to your sneer, he is very
competent at living with dogs.

I thought I'd list a series of actions which I found
on the list, folk asking advice on what to do about
dogs doing this and that, for example:

whining,
humping, hunching,
pacing,
self mutilation - paw licking, side sucking,
spinning,
prolonged barking, barking at shadows,
overstimulated barking,
fighting, bullying other dogs,
compulsive digging,
compulsive scratching,
compulsive chewing,
frantic behavior,
chasing light, chasing shadow,
stealing food,
digging in garbage can,
loosing house (toilet) training.
inappropriate fearfulness
aggression.

The thing that is fascinating to me, as an ethologist who
graduated from college 50 years ago and has spent all of
the intervening time working with animals (including the
human animal), is that you never see any of these behaviors
in wild dingoes, jackals, coyotes or wolves, you don't even
see these behaviors in hyenas (who aren't dog related).

You see these behaviors in human managed animals, especially
animals who live with neurotic hysterical humans.

As Sam Corson (Pavlov's last student) demonstrated for
nearly 50 years at Ohio University (Oxford, O.) there
is no treatment more useful for dogs than tender loving
care.

I bred show cats for 14 years and assure you that the quickest way to
teach a kitty to attack you is to play attack "games" with your hands.

Make or buy appropriate toys for attack play (there are HUNDREDS on the
market, and a stuffed, rolled up sock works very well) and use your
hands ONLY for gentle handling, petting and treats.

Your kitty cannot tell the difference between acceptable and
unacceptable demonstrations of aggression toward people, and guaranteed,
as kitty gets older, you can expect a ripped ankle or torn/bitten wrist
 from an overexcited attack cat.  What will you do then?

You are in the process of creating a problem that need NEVER exist!

Is that because you're EMBARRASSED to be IDENTIFIED
EXXXPOSED and DISCREDITED as an animal abuser liar
and coward, rpl?

That so? Let's see you change the context of THIS:

Any grown cat that draws blood from me (on purpose)
had better have a damn good reason (that *I* agree
with) or gets a smack in the head.

<snip>

As far as rough play is concerned... attack first.
Give kitty the "I'm Going To Eat You!!! routine"
which gives him plenty of time to figure out which
way to run when you lunge.  When he looks to be in
an uninvited "attack mode" snap your hand out and
give him a noogie.

               ================

AnyWON who'd hit a kitty kat to teach it MANNERS
is a coward or a mental case. Take your pick.

You're a proven lying animal abusing coward, rpl.

That's fine, rpl. You can't post here nomore.

Well yes they do, rpl. Same same for the parenting
goups. Only PROBLEM is, they want to learn HOWE to
HURT and INTIMIDATE their dogs and children like
HOWE you teach us to, rpl.

You're a very sick individual, rpl.

Thank you, rpl. The Amazing Puppy Wizard COULDN'T
IDENTIFY EXXXPOSE and DISCREDIT you as a lying
animal abusing mental case without your own POSTED
CASE HISTORY.

Well, yes: sometimes the cat will come over rub it's head on me, suck up
and want to get petted and sometimes the cat will come over with the
intention of ripping me into a million pieces and flushing the evidence
down the sink.

I can tell the difference.

The cat can, too.

I'm sure you mean tug-o-war but for some reason all I can imagine is the
cat accidentally tagging you instead of the sock

Wonder whose cat it is.  My cats know or learn the difference very early on.

Though I imagine having Lord Rampant Mousebreath bite a judge for
getting too friendly would be inconvenient.
