Re: How do I keep cat from cheweing headphones and attaching my dad's feet

[(Anonymous)]

I don't agree with the spray bottle just because I have never seen it actually work. Some cats may be able to be convinced through that method but every cat I've owned and a good many I've seen just blink it off and keep doing the thing. Never mind that you have to actually catch them at the behavior, and how many of us have only found a chewed cord the morning after? They won't correlate the bottle to that thing they did hours ago.

With the feet, is your dad reacting in such a way that the cat finds prey behavior? Shrinking, fleeing, pulling away, etc. Or lashing out against the attack with more violence? The redirect method works best with this, make sure it's with a toy that they find better prey than the feet, but at the same time, dad needs to stop making himself a target. You can't know why kitty has decided his feet are prey and no one else's, but when you make them uninteresting - they don't move, they don't jump, they don't go hide - and replace it with a toy, that should help.

About your first point, I agree. I think the problem is, cats figure out it is YOU spraying them with the bottle, and might run away when they see you coming at them with the bottle, but when you're not there, may just keep doing the bad behavior. I don't think spray bottles are abusive or anything, I'm just not sure they are that effective. Maybe depends on the cat though, and how consistent the owner is.
