Cat and kids issue

[toon_town_nutter]

Our cat has taken to not respecting food boundaries at all. If we're eating the cat is involved. Food gets swiped off our plates, food batted out of our hands, cups licked.

I've taken to sending the kids outside to eat it's got that bad. What can I do to stop it?

TTN if you are unable to display your alpha/boss qualities you should not have animals.

Get a water pistol, use it on the cat.

Toony I trained my cats to stay off the table and kitchen benches by keeping a spray bottle of water on hand and squirting them when they tried it. Didn't take too long before they stopped.

Agrees with monman.

My new kitten I feed her when I eat and dont have any trouble, cats can be trained,

She used to try and jump on my food new she eats hers and leaves mine alone.

We have always fed cats at dinner time

Do you really think that dominating a cat and squirting it with water will train it.:^O

Worked for hubby..

I don't own the cat, the cat owns me.

am*3 I will rehome the kids. Would you like them? They're worth 3 grand pa in government handouts.

[flashie*]

I don't own the cat, the cat owns me.

Totally.:^O

When the children were growing up we had six cats..............(not sure how that happened.)

We never managed to "train" them.............the best we got was.............they behaved when we were there..................and got up to mischief when we weren't.
