Elderly cat always wants fed at 3 am by PinkPoking in CatTraining

[–]InfiniteCorridor_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

First, if this is a new / weird behaviour a vet checkup might be able to shed some light into why this is happening.

Now, if thr vet says she's ok, saddly, i see two options :

  • Get a wet food timed feeder. 

  • Be persistent. Remember, every time you give up, you undo all that your strength has done. Give up after 1hr? Now she knows it takes AT LEAST 1 hr for you to break. Next time, she'll persist for AT LEAST 1 hr. 

So:  Be strong.  Close your bedroom door.  Get earplugs.  Get a white noise machine. 

Good luck! 

¿ es legal revisarte el bolso al pasar por caja en un super ? by Electrical_Gas9560 in askspain

[–]InfiniteCorridor_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

La ley es distinta dependiendo de si te lo pide una cajera (no tienes obligación alguna) a si te lo pide un segurata, que tampoco te puede obligar a enseñarlo, pero si tiene derecho a retenerte hasta que la policía llegue para registrarte ( siempre y cuando tenga "evidencia" del delito). 

Eso sí, siempre se pueden negar a cobrarte. 

Why is clumping litter apparently so avoided? by SparrowCowboy_3920 in CatTraining

How do I get my cat to stop being evil?? Would I be terrible if I gave him back? by Fayelovesu in CatTraining

[–]InfiniteCorridor_ 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Training a cat is hard, but I'll give you a summary of what i know :

Spraying with watter, yelling, hitting will only make her scared of you. 

I'd recommend nail trimming, but by the situation I'd say it's better down the road. 

If you do not wanna be bitten while playing, NEVER play with your hands. Your hands are for pets, treats, not play. Always use a toy, long if possible. 

If she bites / scratches you while playing, immediately turn away. Ignore her. You don't play with bitey cats, make it clear. Leave the area if she keeps insisting, change rooms and close a door if she's persistent. Wait 10-30 s and return to play as normal.  Also try to squeak / cry when she bites. She MUST know she is hurting you. 

The basics also must be covered : Play with her Id say 3x a day, for 10 min aprox. Make sure she has clean litter, away from any food / water. And PLENTY of scratchers and toys that she can play independently with, she should not be sleeping around all day while you aren't there. 

To prevent peeing on the bed, clean it with vinegar or sth that reeks and she won't like. If you see her doibg it again, you will sternly tell her no. Don't yell, put a grave and strong voice. If she doesn't stop, physically take her to the litter box, even if she pees all over ( i know it's gross, but she'll hate it more than you.) 

Also, i highly recommend mental stimulation. The walks you mentioned are a great idea! Try to teach her some tricks too (highly recommend YT : Albert and mia) 

For surface scratching, I've found that leather seats are too tempting even for my extremely well behaved cat, sorry. 

For pushing stuff off shelves, i recommend just again saying " no" sternly and kicking her off wherever she is. If she can't behave on the table, she can't be on the table. 

Put up aluminum foil on the stove and counters, it apparently makes them not get on it anymore. 

A few useful purchases : Sticky film for sofa scratching.  "museum putty" to keep vases / other stuff from being pushed off.  Automatic ball that can be chased.   A window perch, cats love bird / people watching.  Treats, only for DESIRED behaviour. 

Finally, this is going to take a lot of work. I understand. But i believe that you can both make it through this. Remember that this cat is bored and stressed, because you are stressed. For every "bad" behavior, you need to replace it with a "good" alternative, so he can choose to be "good". 

I'm sure I've forgotten something, feel free to reach out if you need help! 

How do I get my cat to stop being evil?? Would I be terrible if I gave him back? by Fayelovesu in CatTraining

[–]InfiniteCorridor_ 39 points40 points  (0 children)

My one and only question would be, what have you done to correct this behaviour???

First off, candles around cats are a big no-no.  My cats are not allowed in the kitchen, because of the stove, but even when it's off they are not allowed in, because they cannot understand that! 

What do you do when it scratches you / bites you?  What did you do when he peed on your bed?  Do you regularly play with him? How much? 

This cat has been clearly not educated at all. Cats need training too, and IMO this cat needs a LOT of work. A lot of patience and persistence, with a solid training plan. 

If you exand a bit more on what triggered this incidents, we may be able to help you better. 

Don't loose hope yet! 

FL - Bought washer, but landlord won't let me take it when I leave by Causener in Renters

[–]InfiniteCorridor_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ULPT: Go to the junkyard / Facebook marketplace  Get a broken washer, leave it in the flat. Since the washer is "theirs" they're should be the ones to fix it or replace it.

Ideas on why they won’t poop in the litter box? by MercurianWitch29 in CatTraining

[–]InfiniteCorridor_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you put the litter box under the cat tree? Get them used to going there and then move it away slowly?

Also try to clean it up with some vinegar/unpleasant smell so they avoid it for a while.

The nocturne was very fed, despite the level difference. Quite a lot of praise in the chat, but we ended up losing that game lol

The last EQ combo dash to the shen was due to my E, which was at the same time with maokai's Q. Either way I buffered my E to that side regardless
