Beware of bully cats
They can destroy your other cats' lives.
My best method so far for coping... Make a small closed belt perhaps 4 inches in diameter. Very easy to do with belt/strapping material and hot melt glue. It must be just the right size. You slip it over their head and pull one of their legs, paw first, through it. If the size is just right, they can walk and use the litter box, but they are somewhat disabled which discourages them from picking on your other cats. That should be introduced gradually to avoid any muscle strains. But it is a viable workaround because you can easily dawn and doff it (put it on and take it off) using two hands. It stays on. No apparent risk of hanging. In my opinion, if you must cope with a bully cat, it helps a lot. Could not be easier to use. Especially good for when you are gone. |

Beware of bully cats
It is not "hogtied" you piece of ****.
So easy to act holier-than-thou over the Internet. If there were some better way to cope that doesn't suffer the pretense of holiness and self-sacrifice on the part of the advice giver, let's hear it. Certainly letting my other cats suffer is not the solution. This troll can go **** itself, and its mother too... -- reilloc reilloc gmail.com wrote: Path: eternal-september.org!news.eternal-september.org!.POSTED!not-for-mail From: reilloc reilloc gmail.com Newsgroups: rec.pets.cats.health+behav Subject: Beware of bully cats Date: Wed, 10 May 2017 00:03:46 -0500 Organization: A noiseless patient Spider Lines: 27 Message-ID: oeu6pm$j3i$1 dont-email.me References: oemakk$169$1 dont-email.me Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Injection-Date: Wed, 10 May 2017 05:00:38 -0000 (UTC) Injection-Info: mx02.eternal-september.org; posting-host="a77287cae9da3453d727302141bbe95c"; logging-data="19570"; mail-complaints-to="abuse eternal-september.org"; posting-account="U2FsdGVkX1+yymjg010qJ+svdiIarxU7" User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/52.1.0 In-Reply-To: oemakk$169$1 dont-email.me X-Antivirus-Status: Clean Content-Language: en-US X-Antivirus: AVG (VPS 170509-4, 05/09/2017), Outbound message Cancel-Lock: sha1:Q6le4wbQ5t+tCcM02TLF3GJGjF4= Xref: news.eternal-september.org rec.pets.cats.health+behav:12442 On 5/7/2017 12:17 AM, John Doe wrote: They can destroy your other cats' lives.

Beware of bully cats
This is my original post...

To any normal person, that should look like an excellent solution to a horrible problem. It is. Of course not all people rescue cats, some buy cats from pet stores and might not consider the possibility of having to cope with serious behavioral problems. And when they do, they end up dumping them on the street and people like me end up taking care of them. Maybe this troll is envious/jealous of my cat's Skyway. Or maybe it is addicted to opioids.

Yer the Jeffrey Dahmer of cat rescuing, saving them from a lonely life on the street so you can bind them with leather and hobble them until they submit. What next? Your calico casserole recipes? Of course, I love it that you repeated your original, airheaded post that included the memorable line, "...easily *dawn* and doff it." Is that like Dawn Diego or Dawn King? Now, get back to yer feline torture chamber and wait for that knock on the door. LNC --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com |

No apparent risk of hanging. In my opinion, if you must cope with a bully cat, it helps a lot. Could not be easier to use. Especially good for when you are gone. Now, think this through: The cat is, essentially, on three legs. Nor can it jump reasonably. Nor can they avoid problems, threats or other dangers reasonably. Your dwelling must not contain stairs, or had better not contain stairs. That is problem A. Now, we can agree that you have a 'bully' cat. Where we disagree is whether keeping it in the 'general population' is more desirable than separation and gentling over time. If your dwelling is so small as to prevent reasonable separation of problem cats, then you have too many cats. And even if noble motives are the cause of such crowding, you are past the point where 'doing good' outweighs the obvious 'bad'. That is problem B. Cats may be incredibly flexible and have a lot of cartilage where we have hard bones - but that is not to suggest that a sudden exertion due to panic or some other cause is out of the question. And should such an event take place "while you are gone", anything up to dislocation could occur. That is problem C. There are others - but they are less blatant. Now, as the "Cannibal Left" was mentioned, the rest is fair game: On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron. H.L. Mencken “Republicans approve of the American farmer, but they are willing to help him go broke. They stand four-square for the American home--but not for housing. They are strong for labor--but they are stronger for restricting labor's rights. They favor minimum wage--the smaller the minimum wage the better. They endorse educational opportunity for all--but they won't spend money for teachers or for schools. They think modern medical care and hospitals are fine--for people who can afford them. They consider electrical power a great blessing--but only when the private power companies get their rake-off. They think American standard of living is a fine thing--so long as it doesn't spread to all the people. And they admire of Government of the United States so much that they would like to buy it.” Harry Truman |

Beware of bully cats
There is a difference between a cat that is adapting to a permanent injury, and a cat that has been deliberately hobbled. That a cat may look entirely recovered after a number of months or years does not equate to a hobbled cat in a panic situation.
Our big Maine Coon (21 pounds) likes to walk up (and down) the stairway handrails (center-hall colonial). And he will jump onto the level section or the newel posts at any point. Imagine him trying that, hobbled. I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat. Will Rogers |

The cat came home 2 days after amputating a rear leg and it's first act was to jump on the bed. Next he walked on the window sill. Except for walking funny there was no difference in the cat's behavior. And this was at 16 years old. Cats don't feel sorry for themselves which seems a large part of recovery for humans. They just do with what they have. |
