I got my cat, Jane, on August 24th, 2017 at 8 weeks old. She was feisty back then, and that's something that hasn't changed.
I moved away for college, and left her with my grandmother, who is now threatening to get rid of her because of her behavior. Had she been well-behaved, this wouldn't be an issue.
I'm wondering-- what are the best methods you have used to keep cats from
- Jumping onto flat surfaces (i.e. counters)
- Scratching furniture
- Biting / scratching hands (no aggression, just a bit overzealous when playing)
I've already got a poster made for her to send to every no-kill shelter I can contact, but I'd at least like to take the time to try first. I am desperate to keep her, but the home I live in has four cats already, and rejected the idea.
Thank you.
