Title: Hello cat lovers
Post by: KrazyKatLover on September 12, 2008, 20:20:17 PM: Hi all,

just registered and thought I would introduce myself.

We just got a kitten 5/6 weeks ago, he was 9 weeks old when he arrived. We were told he was a she and called him Kayla until we took him to the vet after two weeks for his injections and were told different. He is now Rocky! Have always wanted a cat but hubby not a cat lover. My son (22) has wanted one since about 8 yrs old and hubby finally relented and found us one through a friend at work and now he loves him as much as us although he tries to act cool about it. 8)

Rocky is mad as a hatter, only problem is the tearing of the wallpaper in the hall ( which was fairly new ) and I can't beleive how easy it is to forgive him. He loves to sleep on his back and stretch out - I have never seen that with cats before but it has been a long time since my childhood when we had cats.

Rocky is :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:. I would suggest if you haven't already got him one ... get a scratch post for him and hopefully this will be preferable to the hall wallpaper ;)

I also read somewhere that if you spray the area he is scratching with a aerosal deodorant it should put him off doing it again (I can't vouch for how effective this method is though).

Sam (Fussy furball) - we've had a scratching post for him since day one - so not interested. Tried rubbing catnip into it and still no joy.

Christine (Blip) - got the training spray and not sure if it is successful as now somedays he's ok and others he's not. I think you have to keep spraying every day!!

Gill (sneakyfeline) - he is gorgeous but don't know if I agree about the big ears! Certainly won't mention it too Rocky as I don't want him getting a complex!

Have you tried some of the scratching toys that lie flat on the ground instead, some cats prefer to scratch on a vertical surface rather than a horizontal one.
