chocchick Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Hey you lot: Don't mess with the Tigger cat: He's my hero. He's a superhero of the cat world-that's why I thought he's be able to beat up the 3-legged cat.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chocchick Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 OH suggests your cats just try running in a circle to thwart the 3-legged cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 All of this nonsense is making me late for work as well Fortunately everyone understands I think it will take a few more goes before this particular moggy gets the message I sound like I am enjoying this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 This reminds me of one of Phil's neighbours, who hates cats (well any animals really) and gets so uptight if she sees a cat i her garden - she comes racing out and roars at the poor moggie . It's a sight for sore eyes; perhaps I should get Phil to take a video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popcorn Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I hope Louise won't mind me stealing her limelight for a second to hopefully get some advice about my cat problem. She's scratching the carpet on the bottom step of our stairs. I've tried spraying her with water everytime she does it, but I just can't bring myself to race out of bed at 4am when I hear her, and I really don't want to lock her out of the house when we're not in. Does anybody have any good idea's - other than removing the carpet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I've just gone and skimmed the first page of your thread Louise. We had exactly the same problem. Our Molly was being bullied too. The only thing that worked with us was water. But we also used a whistle too. We threw the water, then blew the whistle. Eventually, we just used to blow the whistle and the cat would think a bucket of water was coming. Now, we don't see the bully cat at all. I remember Darren running up with garden waving a bright yellow a spirit level at the cat too. It didn't do a thing, but it looked really funny! Keep persevering. It will get the message.

The Dogmother Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Gina, try spraying neat lemon juice on it - they can't stand it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 Thanks for the tip about the whistle Gina I might try it if the water only doesn't work but not too loud so I don't wake the neighbours I have an elderly cat that is a scratcher I have tried everything and she still does it I really want some new furniture but not until Charley goes as it would get ruined Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 We've got a bitter apple spray from the pet store which I think you can use for cats as well. Our problem is - Jazz like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Biscuit was a bit of a scratcher and still tries it sometimes if he thinks I am busy and won't notice A good telling off, stamping of feet and the occasional light tap have more or less cured him. Now I only have to fix him with my 'hard stare' (which also works well on the blokes at work) and he stops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Now I only have to fix him with my 'hard stare' (which also works well on the blokes at work) and he stops. I knew we should have had a boy dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 Hmmmmmm you may have a point as the hard stare works on my two boys but not Charley the scratcher - a girl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
