Have you ever had trouble with cats minding? I have. My dog Air says this is the subject I should write about today.
I should first talk about my three cats, Trixie, Milo, and Truffles. They are always in trouble when no one watches them, scratching furniture, climbing on the table, hissing at the dogs or their people when they feel bad, etc.
This is what I do to make them mind.
To make cats stop scratching furniture or everything else, there are a few options.
Put fly paper on the places you don't want them to touch or scratch. It will getstuck on their claws every time they scratch or touch a spot the fly paper is, and they won't try again. Of course, before that, you have to pull the fly paper off their paws.
If this doesn't work (some cats are gluttons for punishment) drop the fly paper idea and use aluminum foil instead. When cats step on it, they don't like the texture or sound and probably that will deter them.
If these things don't work, spray the naughty cats in the face. If they are Egyptian breeds, like Absynnians, that like water, it probably won't work.
Spray cats in the face when they hiss, or hiss back at them to make them stop. That makes them run. Just make sure when you hiss that people aren't around, else they'll think you quite mad.
A simple thing cats don't like to have their owners say is "no". Say it with a firm voice when you want the cat that is not minding to behave. If this is new to it, you will have to remove it from the furniture, carry it somewhere else, etc. for a time before the cat learns the word "no".
What are you waiting for? Now go make sure your cats mind.
