Hadn't thought of the spray bottle. He's still learning that night is for sleep. Last night wasn't bad, by now he's learned what the bed is for, so he spent most of the night curled up under my armpit. Don't know why he likes it there. However, the slightest sign of daylight and he was upi and running around, dropping things on me to wake me up. I got pretty angry, but I think I'll meet him halfway and go to bed a little earlier so he doesn't have to wai as long till I'm ready to get up in the morning. Just the same, though, he needs to learn that when I lay down, I'm staying down until I feel like getting up, not when he feels like it.
Apparently he has never had treats before either. It's taken a couple days for him to figure out that these little things in the jar I shake are yummy. He's starting to figure it out though, everytime I shake the jar he perks up and now is starting to understand soemthing good is coming. He also relally likes to be on my lap while on the computer. He just climbed up my leg and next thing I knew I was looking down at these little green eyes peering up at me from my crotch. When he learned there wasn't enough room to climb up from underneathh, he managed to climb up from behind the slide out keyboard.

I would caution If your seting at your computer and you dont see your pet, Look behind you before you scoot back.

I have run over My cats tail A couple of times because he came in when I would be busy on the computer layed down behind the chair, and I did not know it and only found out after I scooted back and ran over his tail. He made a noise then.

Well if you can withstand the silent stare or meow then you have become the owner of you cat, and not vice versa.

And Ill let you figure out what thoes are.

I am more concerned with the sharp sharp claws and teeth he has the he seems to take great pleasure in using when I don't pay enough attention to him.

I like the sharp claws and teeth as long as its only hands and ankles taking the beating. There is something magic about a kitten's total ephemeral focus on destroying a hand.

So I was at the farm, playing with my soon to be kitten, and I reach to pick him upand realize he is leaking coolant at a substantial rate,a nd there is already a little puddle where he was standing. This got me thinking: Do I need to potty train my kitten when I bring him home to use a litterbox, or will he naturally do it? And if I need to train him, how in the world do I do it?

You definitly need to house break him, though I have no idea about how to do it.

Khalee · « **Reply #112 on:** May 23, 2004, 09:58:51 pm »

Some take to it naurally, some you have to train. I was lucky with my cat and he took to it right off. If you have to train it, put the pan in one room and let him play in it stuff and all. And if you see him look like he has to go (Ie snifing around that sort of thing) put him in the pan each time they will get the idea after a bit. You might have to show them how to cover it up tho, simply take their paw and go thru the motions, it works.

Do what I did with Poo CK. He tried to hard to be something she's not, and Took after all my Bosties. But she has two things Going for her.

1.) She has Claws which cut to all hell.
2.) She Likes to fly when she does so.

Hehe, she was squating near one of my dogs the other day, and the dog Got up smelled It, and Decided to mark the Territory.

Poo sees this as a chance to attack, at just about the same time the Dog did the Bury the Poo routine, By kicking his back legs. Poo get's in the way.

Some cat's DO NOT land on there Feet. Esp. when kicked by the same dog That It just sunk two Feet into uhm, niether regions.

Funniest thing I've seen from my pet's in awhile.

Back to the pottty Training. One thing to Consider also, Is That Cat's will use House Plants For litter If you don't spend the time Kepping the box Clean, and Showing them where to go.

I've had 5 cats and never had to housebreak a single one. Now, I'm kinda cheating, cause I live in a trailer with all vinal floors and have no potted plants. The litterbox is the only place in the house a cat can cover it up, so they just naturally gravitate towards it.

That kind of thing just comes naturally to cats. No training required

Cats are whats called a latrening animal, So a desire to use a kitty litter box comes naturally to most of them.
One of the most important things when litter training them is to always have very clean litter on hand, And to always use the same type or brand, ( Cats are picky!) Every time you see him or her wake up place them in the litter box, ( When they are young thats when they usually go), Keep this up and in no time the little fellows will pretty much train them selves.
It important too not to take it away from its mom too soon because she will teach it allot of these things her self.
Good luck cats are just wonderful pets and allot of fun!!

I'm not sure how much his mom will teach him sicne he lives in a barn, with no litterbox available for him to use. they spend all their time in the room the llive and sleep in, the only way in or out is a barred window that the mom can get through, but not the kittens. mostly it's for safety, so they don't get stepped on by horses or mauled by dogs...

Well if that is the case then they might allready know what to do. Just show him the pan with the litter in it and see what happens. My cat was the same way caught him in a barn and he knew what to do after I got him home and showed him where to go.

Kahlee is exactly right.

The cat has natural instincts to bury stool and to urinate where it can be covered up.

What you need to do is carry the kitty over to the litterbox the next time any, er, 'leakage' occurs. And several times a day just to remind him where it is.

The kitty should pick this up in no time and start going there on it's own.

I've had three, since kittens, and each one picked it up in a day or so.

Funny story but true.

My family has always had cats. The first I remember (going back some years when I was probably all of 7 or 8 years) were a pair of kittens from the cats protection league. They were called Daisy and Bandit. I liked the Burt Reynolds movie and my sister liked the dukes of hazard. Anyway.

My father likes his baths in the evening. He just liked to soak in a nice warm bath for ages to relax. This one evening he came down in his dressing gown after his bath to watch a bit a TV. Kittens being kittens however liked to play and explore and found that the 2 inch gap between the sofa and the floor to be an intriging place to hide and play.

Daisy (a white cat with three little block spots) came out from under the sofa this one time to find my father sitting there in his dressing gown....or rather hanging over (if you get my drift) the edge of the sofa in his dressing gown. Wondering if these two dangly things were new cat toys daisy took to them with her claws. Needless to say that my father stood up and jumped around in some agony!

I think that was the first time (and only time) I ever saw a grown man in tears, with a kitten hanging on for dear life from his pride and joy!!!
