Well, the reason I am asking is because when we first got Rocky back in November, he was only 5 months old, well he was frisky as most kittens are...we gave him a few nights to get comfortable with us before we actually started on the discipline area,.after a little over a week, he loved to come and lay in bed with us at night, but he of course never stayed asleep..eventually he would pounce on our feet, heads, whatver moved, it got pounced on
anyway, he would get to playing very rough and bit hard too....well, when he did this, we would pick him by the neck like the momma carries her babies and hiss at him...I read this is very effective because this is what the momma cat does with her babies when they are acting up...I read this in an article, but it had alot of effect...after a few nights of him doing this he stopped...
My plot to my story is I am having a hard time discipling Fluffy and she is by far worse than he was...I guess it is because she is a girl, and I feel like it would scare her.....let me tell you, this never scared Rocky at all..he would turn around and just walk the other way like he knew he was in trouble.....what ways do you discipline your cats/kittens? have you all used this method? I just want her behave when she is acting up..I know a little blow in the face is effective, a squirt with water is too, but I never have that on hand all the time..
What methods to you use?. or do you discipline them at all? Thanks for any info..I am feeling guilty because she is getting away with stuff that Rocky never got away with, but the guilt also comes from by me not giving her the discipline she needs....thanks for any advice or info....
