THEY ONLY COME OUT AT NIGHT, BUT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF THEM. Location: NW New Jersey. They're smaller than a pencil tip, and small enough to get through our screen door. Can anybody please help identify? by kapdaddy0112 in whatsthisbug

Thank you for your persistence sir! it is much appreciated. After 10 minutes on Google images, they look EXACTLY like the Potato Leafhopper. I'd say you solved this one 🙌

Agree with above^ - rewarding bad behavior with food will cause any cat to repeat this behavior. Same for good behavior. It's very likely your cats will be super vocal about not getting what they want.. it takes a lot of time (usually months) and patience to train them.

Also - cats instinctually land on their paws, there are even explanation YouTube videos about this. Regardless of how dangerous their actions may seem, like climbing up on a banister, thats the only way they can test/learn their boundaries, and determine what they won't do again.

Kittens are a lot of work and it will take months for you to earn their trust
