I'm just going to fill in the blanks here and assume that Monty needed some muscle. I mean, he's got Butters between him and the door and is this:


So what you have is Butters trading protection for (I assume) Monty's snacks, prison style.

Have you tried giving her a worn shirt or something that smells like you? I can't remember where I read this, but it can help by getting them familiar with your scent and develop a positive association.

I've wondered about that. Maybe it could help? I kept the towel from the shelter she was at and she doesn't seem interested in it. Maybe I'll throw one of my old t-shirts in her hiding spot; if nothing else, it's a soft thing to lay on.

Haha yeah I'm sure the shelter was tons of good memories to associate with the smell on the towel. I took Ginny to get her shots at the humane society that I got her from and just bringing her in the place freaked her out and she didn't calm down until we left.

How can I discourage him from those nips and bites without sending him right back into his shell? When he came to me for pets (and I was so excited) and tried to nibble my fingers, I told him no and stopped petting him. Waited a little while, went back to petting, and when he tried it again, repeated it. This is what the cat care book suggests.

I know I've read it here in PI before, but one technique is to act really hurt by their biting so they get the idea that what they are doing isn't playing or is too rough. Or is that when dealing with puppies?

We got a somewhat neurotic kitten (runt, abandoned, etc) that did a pretty good job of teaching me to calm the gently caress down and respect her space as a hyper seven year old so I could pat her.



She clearly murdered a flower, theres a feather of a bird she might have murdered, and shes giving you the death stare. Lucky you lived past seven.

Also making weird noises seeing that kitten.

That rat toy is great, my cats have the grey one and they love tossing that thing in the air, although it might be too big for yours to do that yet.

Cats handle stress in weird ways, such weirdos.
