meowmie up for fun. I know it's hurt, but it'll pass when he gets a bit older. Give him toys or sumthin and don't forget not to flicker your eyelashes, they tend to play attack someone who flickers their eye lashes. They have a sharp hearing more than we do. Good luck on Max. exactly why not to scream, more than the point will get across to them.CynthiaR (Whitewolf) wrote:I would scream at him, "NOOOOOO!" They spooked and got puzzled and crept back in embarrassment, you coulda seen their faces.

Oh, well. But they did tumbled backward with their tails up in a funny way, ears spooked pointed up and eyes widened in puzzlement, they got the message loud and clear. I shoulda take pics of 'em. Since I would never think of spanking 'em or do what sum wackos do. They're lovable and huggable creatures. its all in "how its done and the tempermant of your kitty"....as in all things, moderation is key.Squrrrl wrote:Does pushing him away when he is biting have the same effect as hitting.

this is how i primarily discipline my tough boy rocky. he goes in the office for "time out", usually about 20-30 minutes (litter and water is available). point is to take him there as quickly as possible when an offense is made otherwise he wont "get it". the majority of his bad behaviors are now rare and it take little more than a look from me and he pretty much runs to the office on his own now.Squrrrl wrote:I also put him in his bathroom for a time out when he bites sometimes. Not everytime cuz then he'd spend a lot of time in there.
heh, they have that tendancy dont they?Squrrrl wrote:(he is being SOO cute right now... passed out on my desk)
