Nico looks at her. Then, slowly, deliberately, he sticks his claws in her bare lower leg. "Owww !!!!" Nico looks at her. Then, slowly, deliberately, he sticks his claws in her bare lower leg. "Owww !!!!" Nico looks at her. Then, slowly, deliberately, he sticks his claws in her bare lower leg. "Owww !!!!" Then she kicks out. Don't worry, she missed.

I don't know about him but, after the first time I would make some effort to
at least get away from the cat or shoo it away. A good thump on the nose might be in order if I didn't have a water bottle handy.

Sorry, that was in part my impatience over the whole "Lorelei" story finally
snapping. I don't know if anyone else's cats do this, but mine will gently put out a claw (or in Sammy's care a little bite or nip - not drawing blood) just to get me to pay attention to them. They don't do this in malice or evil or any other bad intent, just to get my attention. The fact that she sat through it twice and didn't move or react other than an "Ow" tells me it wasn't done hard. The absolute best way to discourage a cat who is getting a bit rambunctious is to let out a loud, high-pitched "MEW" - the noise a kitten will make when a sibling is getting too rough. All rough-housing stops immediately (a cat's equivalent to crying "uncle"). I think one of my cats would have to chew off my arm before I would even *CONSIDER* not having said cat. Again, sorry for blowing a gasket. -- Hugs, CatNipped See all our masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped See the RPCA FAQ site, by Mark Edwards, at: http://www.professional-geek.com/rpcablog/ "Granby" wrote in message ...

A lottle late responding to this but just wanted to say I understand where Catnipped was coming from. A while back after reading Gandalf always writing about how Lorelei was not being like like she thought she should be I made a remark about maybe Lorelei would be better off with someone else and I caught all hang for it!!

I see what you're saying, but I kind of interpret what David said a little differently, probably because of Cherokee. The key words were "slowly and deliberately." To me, that says Nico's just getting her attention without really hurting her. Instead of being mean, she's just being annoying. Sort of like the "love bites" we're all familiar with. Now, Kitten's thing is to grab my ankle, with claws out, and start bunny-kicking, with claws out. That HURTS, it's aggressive, and she gets the water gun for it. She never seems to learn anything, but I have hopes. Biskit is the only one who gets away with deliberate clawing. She loves to perch on my shoulder, and while she's there, she kneads. It hurts like the devil but she is purring and drooling and in such obvious nirvana while she's doing it I can't bear to make her stop. In fact, I can't bear to discipline Biskit for just about anything. :-) Sherry |

I don't think the cat was at fault, the human was though.

No Yowie, that's not what I meant at all, and I've already apologized for
losing my patience. What I *feel* is that Gandalf has, and has expressed here quite often, unreasonable expectations of what a cat should be, without allowing that all cats are different. His "violent" reaction to what was, to me, a non-incident is what I think tipped my scales. What I *fear* is, because of that, Gandalf will decide that Lorelei is not what he wants or expects a cat to be and may either "get rid of her" or be take away from her any signs of his affection. Again, I apologize for losing my patience and I would really like to leave it at that. -- Hugs, CatNipped See all our masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped See the RPCA FAQ site, by Mark Edwards, at: http://www.professional-geek.com/rpcablog/ "Yowie" wrote in message ...
