  • Paws and Pause

    Katy is not allowed on the counter or the table. I'm not naive enough to think that she never gets up there. I've come home to find her on top of the cabinets above the refrigerator. This necessitates jumping to the counter first! The problem is that she has become incorrigible about it even when I am home. It is particularly a problem at the table when I am eating. Tonight I came home and fixed a light dinner. As I was eating, she hunkered down to pounce from the floor to the table. I put my arm out to block her and she lost her balance and took a tumble. (It's a myth that they always land on their feet! Sometimes the fall isn't far enough -- luckily -- to flip around.) I know she needs the discipline and that she wasn't seriously hurt, but I still felt awful! It gave me pause.

    She's getting some extra cuddles. If only she could keep those pretty paws where they belong! Sigh. Any thoughts?

    I am totally attached to my little one. She watches for me at the window. She greets me at the door. She snuggles with me at night and generally follows me about. I love her. In fact, that is her nickname at times, "Love." Isn't it amazing how attached we can become to our pets?

  • What you need is a water gun and aluminum foil.  :)

    I trained my cats to stay off of what I don't want them on with aluminum foil.  If I catch them in the act, a spritz from the water gun.  It doesn't hurt them, but it will startle them, and after a while, you won't have to do anything...
