Annoying cat problems...

[Gazwag]

Isn't the simple solution just to superglue some drawing pins onto the fence poll, works round my way

My cat has recently started to sit and talk to the plug socket in the hallway. She's always been mildly retarded, but I am worried she is now starting to lose the plot entirely. She's still going to the loo in the right place, and still has a ridiculously healthy appetite, and is still very agile, so I'm not too concerned yet, but at 16 years old, if she is going senile, then she will just need that little bit more love and attention I guess. That said, she is currently sat glued to the cricket, she's always loved cricket, golf, snooker and darts!!! Think she may have been an old man's cat before she came to me!

I'm no expert on Cats, but is it possible that she can hear the electrical current? It isn't within a range that humans can hear, but electricity does, I believe, make a sound.

Haha, I love cats, mind of their own.

If it makes you feel any better our kitten spends an amazing amount of time staring at the wall for no apparent reason and he's as fit as they come.

As for the watching sport, I can't play fifa for long without the older one sitting directly in front of the TV (as in, on the unit) watching the players/ball (with a couple of half-arsed attempts at catching them thrown in) for at least 5 minutes.

We're new cat owners in Chez Bassic and currently the following things irritate the ever loving **** out of me:

- Waking me up at 4am for no reason, making sure I'm 100% awake and then going back to sleep herself.
- Incessant meowing despite being fed, rested and having full freedom of the kingdom.

I just don't get those two little things.

On the plus side she is ridiculously entertaining.

Is it true that female cats do actually talk (meow) more than males anyway? I had had both male and female moggies in my life and the females certainly did seem to chunter on far more. My male cat only used to meow as he entered the room to announce his presence.

I was tired and thats the only way I could describe what she sits on, at the time

here is a picture of her sitting on a "fence poll", you'll know what a fence poll is when you see it...

I would recommend purchasing a cat ornament and attaching it to the timber support (poll).



Then see if she gets the message, and if she does, remove the cat ornament but replace it if she starts again.

Let me know how you get on She may see the funny side.

Cats are users and abusers end of.

We have a 3 month old kitten who is a massive fan of sprinting all round the house and treating everything as one of his toys...normally, not a problem, but as we've now got a 16 day old baby in the house as well I spend half my time on edge that the fluffy cyclone will do something bad (though the chances are fairly slim really).

Mmm i have the same thing - Kitten - baby on the way.....

I have to say, we were a little concerned as to how the kitten would react (Little Gullflyinghigh turned up earlier than planned) but despite being an utter lunatic in every other way he's been golden around the young 'un, he gave him a sniff on the 2nd day and flumped down next to him...that was it.

I don't know how true it is but I have heard that because cats are attracted to warmth, they have a tendency to sit on babies and are drawn to their warm breath and can accidently smother them by making themselves comfy. Obviously I doubt this would happen during the summer, but you do have to keep an eye on them.

It may be hokum (sounds a bit like it) but we heard the same thing. In all honesty, we've got the caution of new first time parents going on as it is so there's no chance of us leaving them all alone in the same room!

Kerry Katona doesn't even own a cat.

A: She is Cat and thats how Cats communicate mainly MEOWING !!!
B: She is female so it will be inbred into her to wail and moan and nag, claw and scratch etc etc until she gets her own way.

I have to put up with this but i still love my Cat very much and wouldn't be without her but then im a big softy.
