Cat Forum / General Topics / July 2006Kittens pulling their owner's hair.
Hello all, I have a question. I have long hair, and I am not planning on cutting it short (This will not help with my question). I have a kitten that thinks that human hair is a plaything. She starts viciously grabbing it with her claws and teeth. How do I stop her from doing that?  SignatureChristina Szeman http://magickalpoetry.blogspot.com >I have a question.

Your posts are difficult to read as the lines go past the right edge of the screen.

First you don't know who the number belongs too, who posted the number, and whether that was authorized. There have been numerous cases where someone posted someone elses phone number on the net. I don't understand Forte. I just use what came with the computer. That is MS Outlook Express. So it is not my fault. It is the fault of the person who sent me the message about Forte. They don't understand that not everybody has the same program. >>>"Abe" <noone@nowhere.com> wrote in message >>>> No answer for you, but please set you news reader to wrap lines at 76 [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > BULLSHIT! >I don't understand Forte.

BTW, Outlook Express is probably the worst usenet newsgroup reader on the planet. And just because it is on your computer when you buy it doesn't mean you're stuck using it for life. There are many usenet newsgroup programs, a number of which are very good programs, far superior to Outlook Express. Outlook Express is the worst program on the planet for Usenet. Netscape is the second worst on the planet. >I don't understand Forte. I just use what came with the computer. That is MS >Outlook Express. So it is not my fault.

What is so difficult >about that? What about the millions of non-Windows users and other non-Agent users whose clients adhere to the long standing usenet standards and expect incoming messages to do so as well? BTW, since Microsoft's recent use of their security updating service to force installation of spyware and backdoor software on Windows systems, it is no longer acceptable to deny that Microsoft is evil. By extension, it is no longer acceptable to insist that their use of non-standard formats and procedures to force purchase of their software is a good thing. SignatureT.E.D. (tdavis@gearbox.maem.umr.edu) >What about the millions of non-Windows users and other non-Agent users >whose clients adhere to the long standing usenet standards and expect >incoming messages to do so as well? I gave up long ago expecting other usenet messages to come in already word wrapped, formatted, etc. For that matter if it were up to me it would be formatted to the small screen on my pocket pc. So I learned a long time ago how to use the settings that are in the Usenet Newsgrou Reader. >BTW, since Microsoft's recent use of their security updating service >to force installation of spyware and backdoor software on Windows >systems, it is no longer acceptable to deny that Microsoft is evil. >By extension, it is no longer acceptable to insist that their use of >non-standard formats and procedures to force purchase of their >software is a good thing.

Those fall into two sets: Microsoft defaults, and everything else, including Microsoft's somewhat hidden standard settings. SignatureT.E.D.

She'll sit above my head and bite at my hair at the roots. She doesn't get skin, but the gag sound she makes afterwards tells me she doesn't like the taste of my styling products :) She rarely does this...maybe once every couple of months. I don't know if you use products, but my problem was solved on it's own because she doesn't like the way it tastes so she leaves it alone :) Hello, I don't have hair products in my hair except after I take a shower (I have one of those organic hair shiners). I don't know if that would work. Christina >> >I have a question. I have long hair, and I am not planning on cutting it >> >short (This will not help with my question).

Any suggestions. I hope that under 76 characters. Christina > >I have a question. I have long hair, and I am not planning on cutting it > >short (This will not help with my question). [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > characters. Your posts are difficult to read as the lines go past the > right edge of the screen. You have to be strong when she does it take her set her down and say no. When she grabs your hair yell ouch and keep yelling until she stops. Try make a loud noise if that does not work. Kittens are like small children they don't understand tell they are shown. You can't not play; sorry about the pun, with this bad behavior she will continue it if you allow it On NO circumstance do you physical punish her My kitten Ka' Shay is in the biting phase and when she does it I do the ouch ouch ouch loudly and she stops and lets go. > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >> characters. Your posts are difficult to read as the lines go past the >> right edge of the screen. >Hello, > >My question is how do I stop a cat from playing and pulling my hair? Any >suggestions. If you are lucky, she will outgrow it. I have three kittens (pictures link at <http://users.wildblue.net/daviste/>) that started doing that at about 10 weeks and are still doing it two weeks later, but not as often. They have also mostly outgrown attacking my toes when I'm trying to sleep. SignatureT.E.D.

Here is a news flash for you: set your news reader to wrap lines. on my newsreader it wraps fine. (But then I have word wrap set on my newsreader.) >> I have a question.

Below is a line with exactly 76 visible characters and then a return. |---------|---------|---------|---------|---------|---------|---------|----- I'm curious how this will display in my browser, Hogwasher, and in others. SignatureJames Leo Ryan ..... Austin, Texas ..... taliesinsoft@mac.com You have to teach the kitten that playing with your hair is not acceptable. Just as you would train to do other things. The best training mimics the training a mother cat or a sibling would do. If it is painful, say OW in a meow type way. The kitten should stop. If not, then you need to take the kitten and put it where it can not attack your hair. If that doesn't work, if she rushes right back, then take her and put her somewhere and ignore her for a few minutes. to a kitten any attention is a good thing. the mother cats' last resort is to pin the kitten to the ground so she can't do anything. Don't yell, don't be mean. the removal of all stimulation and shunning should teach her what is acceptable. and you have to do it when she is displaying the behaviour. Cats don't get delayed punishement, and kittens have an even shorter attention span. Hello all, I have a question. I have long hair, and I am not planning on cutting it short (This will not help with my question). I have a kitten that thinks that human hair is a plaything. She starts viciously grabbing it with her claws and teeth. How do I stop her from doing that? SignatureChristina Szeman http://magickalpoetry.blogspot.com Well, I do have a crate that I usually put her in, just to leave me alone (I didn't say that just to be cruel). Maybe I should do that when she pulls again. Besides, I've tried the Ow and that doesn't work. Christina > You have to teach the kitten that playing with your hair is not > acceptable.

It's it amazing how dumb people can be to come to this NG with such an obvious question? >> You have to teach the kitten that playing with your hair is not >> acceptable.

There was a time when I had my first cat and had no clue what to do. Now many cats later, many years later there are still things that they do that baffle me. well come now... if your kid was pinching you, you'd stop them from doing it.... if your kitten is pulling your hair, you would stop them from doing it >Hello all, > >I have a question.

She starts viciously grabbing it with her claws and teeth. How do I stop her from doing that? Stop her from doing it from day one. Get a water bottle to spray when the kitten does something wrong. But then I have long waist lenght hair and my kitten learned long ago to leave it alone. Along with other stuff attached like toes, fingers, knees, etc. Licking is fine, but no biting. |
