So, I was wondering... there are all these pet shows out there that show home owners how to dish out punishment on your furry friends so they know who to respect and how to train them. I don't watch T.V., so I was wondering if any of you know any shows or literature that inform you on how to live with your cats so I can maybe grab the DVD's off Netflix or something. I'm not so fond of retiring any type of dominance and relinquishing to statements like, "my cats own me"/"I'm the pet, my cat is actually the master"/"I just pay the rent, my cats own this apartment"...I'M THE BOSS, DARNIT!!! Anyway, I hear negative reinforcement is a bad thing and I don't want my cats to only stop doing things cause they're afraid I'll kick them in the abdomen. Any good stuff out there to teach an owner how to "talk" to a cat?
