Everyone needs discipline. Even cats - and kittens most of all. So for this very purpose I acquired a little water gun, so that they get a little spray of water when they do something bad (mainly jump on top of the dinner table). The problem is that most of the time I spend in the small room studying for my exam, and the cats (being the sly little creatures that they are) have the dining room all to themselves. So every once in a while I walk out of the small room, trying to be extra quiet, carrying my water gun close to my hip (very much The Good, The Bad and The Ugly style) and then spring up on them if they're indeed on top of the table. I feel like a cowboy in my own home, it's kind of almost exciting.
Here's another video of them playing with each other... which mainly involves Banjo on his back with paws in the air meowing and Unix (possibly playfully and lovingly) biting him :)
very cute
ReplyDeleteI've found that after a short while they know the difference when you're "armed" or not. So you either are always "packing" or you must conceal your weapons (small water pistol perhaps?). Even worse, they subsequently learn the range of your weapon of choice... A cunning foe, the cat.
ReplyDeletetrue, but in those situations when I've misplaced my gun, I employ the triple 'yell, stomp and clap' method... so that usually works, too :)
ReplyDeletebut yeah - cats are evil! I want one of these:http://store.theonion.com/kitten-thinks-of-nothing-but-murder-all-day-p-86.html
