Our cats seriously need to get together! The one morning Jonas wouldn't shut the f-up from about 4-6 am (when I got up and fed him) :fp:

Dirty Frank Black likes to carry the most random stuff around. One time he carried an entire roll of duct tape upstairs, then set it down. Within in a few seconds, Jonas pushed it back down the stairs... I also have to make sure I keep my razor on the far side of the shower...once Frank was making his "I'm carrying something" sounds (yes he has a specific "meow" for this) and i said "Oh, what do you have buddy?" It was my razor :fp: Luckily he was carrying it by the handle.. :fp: :?

Batman has his Batman ways..but not really any bad habits...

Danger on the other hand...well let's just say he's our special child... :fp: but he's very sweet and adorable so it's hard to get too mad at him

I tried that with Annie (put her in the bathroom with food, water, kitty litter box) but that just turned on her shred-o-matic routine with the TP!

i just tossed him in there with nothing....solitary confinment. i can't take the 5am meow anymore...

he was only in there for maybe 30 minutes, when the woman got up and ready for work.

but he will be trained...oh...he will learn.

Sometimes if the meowing doesn't work, Jonas will resort to licking us.... :? :shock:
Face, back, ears...any part of the body that's exposed and not under the covers is at risk... :?

Lucky You! Jonas doesn't bite. I'm having a bad cat day.

I get the 'whenever he damn well feels like it' bathtub howls. Grumpy figured out a long time ago that if he meows in the bathtub, it echos and makes him L-O-U-D-E-R.

"MMMmmMMMRRrrrOOOOWWWWWWRRRrrr?" "RRRRoooOOOOOOOWWWWWer?" "me-OW" <

---

imagine that one done several times in fast succession with and angry screeching 'ow' at the end.

So you go into the bathroom and he's hugging the bathtub faucet rubbing his face all over it...he will sit there for hours drinking water from the faucet. I've tried to 'teach him a lesson' by turning on said faucet full blast...yeah, he just finds 'his spot' and drinks from the gushing water.

Yeah..he's just a licker, not a biter...and it's not as bad as it use to be...when i lived in my apartment, he did it almost every morning and wouldn't stop. I'm sure there were plenty of mornings that my neighbors could hear me yelling "Stop licking me!" through the paper thin walls. :shock:

I'm about to shoot my kitty with a water gun. I have never done this to him.. He is being very bad today, and he is 14 yrs old, so he knows better.

I either squirt him with water, or give him a Valium. He needs to calm down.

I know the 5am wailing all too well. Mine will meow at that time so it sounds like she's dying. I ignore her, she jumps on the bed and meows more. I still ignore her she tries climbing on top of me. I still ignore her she starts biting my toes. I've let this go on for as long as 2 hours sometimes, in an effort to not positively reinforce this behavior by giving her what she wants (which is of course, food.) It didn't help thing is she doesn't do it ever night. Sometimes she'll do it every night for a week, sometimes one night in many weeks. It's totally sporadic. If it were every night I'd buy one of those spray bottle things.

cat wakes me up in the middle of the night by walking around on the bed and on me and on my bladder.

so during the day, when I find her curled up under the bedspread sleeping, I wake her up

everytime I see her sleeping, I just give her a nudge or two to waker her up. she sleeps 23.9 hours a day, rest of the time she is waking me up in the middle of the night.
