Disciplining Cats
I know some people will give a cat a light tap on the nose, followed by a firm "No!". I personally don't tap my cats on the nose, as water or a just a very firm no! as you do a pointing gesture to them.
I believe if you can believe out of nothing an explosion (big bang) happened then how far fetched can god be?

Re: Disciplining Cats
when he is attacking muh taday we just put it out of paw's reach and with the window we usually say "come on" and he goes out my room, we got him like this from a cat who didnt listen and didnt bite, let them do what they want for a while then they'll get bored of it, thats how it works, dont try this with food though

Re: Disciplining Cats
I'm actually surprised at how well-behaved he is. I really wish there was some way I could discipline him to stop eating so fast, though. It makes him sick sometimes, and rationing his meals hasn't helped.

Re: Disciplining Cats
So the only solution I could come up with, that he would happy with. Was a light tap on the nose, followed by a No! Also, as long as he showed the cat the reason to why he is doing it. I think this is better than a random tap on the head.

Re: Disciplining Cats
I won't punish my cat after the fact. No sense on it.
But I do however use the BAD PET SPRAY BOTTLE!!! Both my dog and cat have come to fear this. They were also taught as wee ones. Soft nose popping is only meant for the most severe of crimes. Which have been extremely rare. Usually the spray bottle is the best. Other methods are a clean soda can with beans in it and sealed. Shake the can at them when they're performing the wrong. For some reason the noise scares them.
Also regardless of multiple times being reprimanded some cats just will not stop the behavior. So it's pointless to punish them if they're not "getting it".
Hope this helps.

Unless your cat just does not give a fuck or is too thick

Re: Disciplining Cats
She sometimes cries on the way because she knows what she's done but she still gets her time out. I let her out and give her a pat to let her know its ok now and shes generally happy. Once she even went there herself after i growled at her for climbing my net curtians!!
Also if its a very young cat apparently pooing on someones elses things is a way of trying to mix their smell with yours, eg its a weird cat sign of affection lol. Our kitten did it once when she was very young and also weed on the covers. She never did it again tho.

Re: Disciplining Cats
It can mean a health problem yes. However dominant cat personalities show it. Pooping under the bed may mean .. "I claim this space in the name of me" and "I really don't like you". When I was a vet tech I saw many a healthy cat, male and female, leaving calling cards like this. A bed has the most of that human's scent is why. Cats showing odd forms of affection is a possibility yes but rarely is something so vile used as such. I'm not saying your cat isn't odd enough to think outside the litter box but you never know. Cats are strange creatures but they're not that hard to figure out.
Keep kitty out of there if possible. Hopefully your roommate will get the picture to.

Re: Disciplining Cats
Picking them up and blowing in their face also works, but you have to be johnny on the spot after an incident or again, you will only confuse and upset your cat.
someday I'll find someplace to host a sig that isn't stupid money-grubbing photobucket

Re: Disciplining Cats
The OHS would recommend positive reinforcement and conditioning to eliminate undesirable behaviours and does not condone any physical punishment including nose tapping.
