The sofas cost a lot of money and were almost new when she arrived, but she showed them no mercy. <br /><br />Kizzie's problem is that her meiow is very quiet, so we don't know when she wants something. She has however become noisier since going to the cattery, while we were on holiday, so if you have a quiet meiow too, perhaps this might help you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09651143537071368013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003571695102022783.post-26433414511236314422012-08-20T12:59:25.173-07:002012-08-20T12:59:25.173-07:00Abba and Wolfie here:

Mama has had to tape all the cabinets closed to keep her from climbing in and knocking everything out to make a place to hang out.<br /><br />Mama is working on the toe biting with a SQUIRT bottle :D<br /><br />I, Wolfie, am a glommer and like to wake my mama up by sticking my face, which is full of ticklish whiskers, into her face at the crack of dawn along with loud squeaky meows and marching all over her sensitive parts. I weigh about 11 lbs and have huge feet with really sharp claws.<br />After using the blowing in the face maneuver long enough to see that it did not work, Mama has resorted to the SQUIRT bottle which ended that behavior post haste!! Proving that I am not as dumb as she thought I might be <br />;)<br /><br />A small cosmetic Squirter from CVS or WalMart comes in quite handy!<br /><br />Good luck with Quill. <br />Man is he a little cutie!

Most kittens love it for both reasons.<br /><br />As for the people not liking the chewing, they need to speak to you in your own language to tell you that. I tell kittens "ow" in a high pitched meow like tone that they are biting too hard. Works wonders when you get the tone right, they start to lick instead of bite.<br /><br />As to biting her when you are hungry.. well hopefully she'll learn that is why you are biting her and maybe she can work with you to "train" you to do something else. I had a kitty growing up who used to bang the kitchen cabinets when he was hungry (it was where we stored the food and he could open it enough with his paw that it made a nice bang when he let go) I taught him to sit on the chair by the hallway (more visible if he sat there) by placing him on the chair and only dishing out the food when he sat in it. If he jumped down I would stop and put him back on the chair. Quicker then I really had hoped he learned to sit on the chair when he was hungry.. it was so neat.. (and of course I was 10 or 11 at the time so I thought it was super cool)Connie - Tails from the Foster Kittenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01127077337743262149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003571695102022783.post-64494608110942351642012-08-20T10:29:44.954-07:002012-08-20T10:29:44.954-07:00We're senior cats who have forgotten about the...We're senior cats who have forgotten about the kitten chew phase.
