The Flavored Coffee Guy - 29 Nov 2005 06:27 GMT Have you ever seen a tom cat take on a german shepard and win? Have you ever seen a house cat take on a human being, and trash the entire house? Well, turn on the video camera, and give the kitty one drop of cinnamon oil, right on the end of it's tongue.
It's your kitty, prepare to die.

alt4 - 29 Nov 2005 19:02 GMT I don't think it was a tom, but yep. While cats still have claws they can easily take on humans, lol trash the house, come to mine. It can be immaculate in the morning, by evening you'd wonder which tornado went through. Well 6 cats, it really doesn't have much of a chance.

The Flavored Coffee Guy - 30 Nov 2005 18:44 GMT Do you have any kittens? I love to teach people how to teach their cats to absolutely love water. If I ever had an experiance that I would choose never too forget, that didn't have to do with a woman, that would be it. I never had more fun in my life than when I actually trained a kitten to love water by so much, it wasn't safe to bathe with it in the same room. Cats have a repetitive motion disorder that compels them to attack anything that is simply moving back and forth a short distance, and human hands are included in that disorder. Which means, they will attack your hands, at times. I couldn't laugh harder than the day the cat wound up with a mouthful of soap. We gave the cat to a family friend, and almost lost him. His wife was assulted in the shower.
Even the training process had me laughing because, cats hate water so much that it seems completely unnatural for them to actually start liking it. If you'd like to know how to train your cat to love water, just respond to this post and ask.

The Flavored Coffeee Guy - 30 Nov 2005 20:56 GMT Okay.
First dedicate 45 minutes to 1 hour a day to training. You will also need one of these cat wands. Preferably with the shorter feathers, or ribbons. You can find them at almost any pet shop. http://www.samyu.com.tw/ePETS/pages/P15-Cat%20Toys.htm
Playtime starts with kitten that's just been weaned by it's mother. Playtime always takes place in the bathtub. Always be very careful not to exceed the body temperature of your cat, so keep an aquarium thermometer in the tub.
Week 1, just keep the water dripping, never allow it to run, and keep the drain open. If the cat jumps out, don't put it back in the tub, lure it back in with the wand. Make sure it can get in and out by using an well anchored towel as a two way street at the opposite end of the tub from the drain and dripping water. The wand likes water, and if the kitty is gonna get close, it constantly has to head for the dripping faucet. Lead it into getting it's face wet as many times as possible, and never be mean, or forceful. Let the cat decide when or if it's going to attack or not, or get wet in the process. You will see it will be cautious of the water, immediatly react to it at first, even jump back, or run right out of the tub after one drop. By the end of the first week, the cat should be getting quite wet.
Week 2, keep the dripping faucet a dripping faucet, but now plug the drain, and when the puddle gets big enough for the cat to jump out of the tub, let the water out and start again until you've reached the end of an hour.
Week 3, continue the same process and see how deep the water can get. At that point ripples and wave will become toys. Keep allowing the tub to fill, and allow it to get used to slow trickling water. By the end of this week your cat should be swimming at one end of the tub, and jumping in and out to play.

-- we need to know this. That's something I can live without. Our kitten has no fear as it is, make him the kitten from hell?

When I got my six month old kitten, I quickly learned a few things about using a water spray bottle to control her. When it was adjusted to spray a stream of water (I figured I could reach her from a distance) after the first few times, she would just glare at me and then continue to do whatever she was doing. It wasn't until I adjusted the spray bottle to send out a spray of fine mist that she paid attention and then would scamper off. Go figure.
