I Am Being Tormented By Another BEAST!

I have been staying with my friends John Mark and Michelle the past couple of weeks. He left over a week ago to spend 3 weeks in Belgium with his family, and Michelle went to the Ozarks for the weekend, so I have been here by myself since Wednesday.
By myself, but not alone by any stretch of the word.
I am very allergic to cats, and Michelle has this big french gray cat named Tekno. He is a pretty cat, and very very affectionate. He will NOT leave me alone. He is constantly rubbing up on me, jumping into my lap... I even awoke one night to find him right next to my head in bed with me. I'll play with him and wash my hands afterwards, but that doesn't seem to be enough to keep him happy.
Michelle told me "Don't let him dominate you because once a cat dominates a person, they never let up." She also told me to feed him once a day. That, in theory is fine, except once his food dish is empty, he will come rubbbing against me, meowing nonstop, and at some points even sounds like he is crying. He won't leave me alone, not for one minute. He even tries to follow me into the bathroom. Finally, last night I gave in, and put a little extra food in his bowl, but that wasn't enough.
I woke up with an attack this morning, and heard him crying and trying to open the door by jumping up and rattling the handle. I gave in and fed him early.
All I can say is, this gives the term "P*u*s*s*y*whipped a whole new meaning. OY!
Feline frantic,
Carl D

Close BR door at night. My cats try to get more food out of me as well but I just talk back to them and after awhile they give up once they know mom isn't giving in. Get benadryl for the cat allergies. Cats tend to be attracted to those that are allergic or don't like them. The rubbing up on you isn't so much affection as it is marking you. By the way the cat is testing you just like a kid would. Seeing what they can get away with. Mastivious little things....Have two...Kim

Yep! That's how we cured one of our cats from yowling outside our bedroom door at 6 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. I'd open the door and spray him in the face everytime he did it. After only the third time, he quit doing it.
Get one of those big squirt bottles like people use for barbecuing. Fill it full of water and give kitty a zap with it, whenever she does something that you don't want her to do.
If she still won't behave, then you can introduce her to Mister Blender, Mister Clothes Dryer, Mister Garbage Disposal, Mister Trash Compactor, or Mister Toilet.
May the Force be with you.

Quite frankly you're a bit catty and cruel Frank. The other advise sounds better. May it be without Force!

Hey Frank,
What about that whole Cat Carrier contraption?
So I'm allowed to have a cat in the new apartment - my mom said today that it makes her nervous because some cats spray, and she didn't know what types do that...so she didn't know what kind of cat I should get.
Any advice? hehe I really don't want my apartment to smell for the end of time! Also.....it's not a big place - so if getting a cat is gonna make it stinky, I want to know now! LOL

Carrie its only male cats that are "intact" that spray.. the answer is to have them castrated or have a girl cat!
Either way neutered cats are better because you don't need the problems for a randy tom or a female in season with a 100 randy toms trying to get in follwed by a litter of kittens!

Helen--
Oh yes! I'll agree with that whole neutered thing. I know that some people have problems with it, but our lab is neutered, and our last lab was not. This lab is MUCH more behaved! Our last one ran away all the time!!
So....is any particular cat better than another? Do you get them declawed? I like the cute 'typical' housecat - but frankly I know absolutely nothing about cats!

Believe it or not FEMALE cats also spray......I used to raise siamse and exotic siamse for years.......my one female would spray in the bathroom on the curtain under the sink.....first time saw it I about fell over.....then I seen the ferile female calico outside cat spray so far it went thru the shrub......unbelievable. Answer of course is fixing the house pet male or female. I think males 'tend' to be more independant and females a bit more undependant. My males are great I have in the house (5) but females tended to be moody. (imagine that) I love em all.......oh and Carl.....since it is basically the cats house you will have to figure out a happy meduim. Cats don't like citrus......so maybe you can buy a spray for outside your door safe for cats.....(I hate the smell of NO spray tho).....my cats have big feeders full all the time and huge water'r. Mixed meows Pam
Also........lill tip: hissing or doing a LOUD psssssssst to a cat freaks them out and they usually RUN.
PS: Probly is a good idea to have one declaw'd and fixed at the same time depending on age....and depends on condition and if your vet agrees. Not all will do both at once. But it is one less tramatic visit to the vets. Cats need to scratch to shed there nail sheaths.....it's not to be distructive 'on purpose' but more or less something they need to do. There is a brand new nail inside the old one that falls off but needs to split underneath to fall off properly. People think cats do it to be bad.....and with some bad habits are hard to break. If you don't want to deal with that and torn furniture corners you mite want to declaw them. I'm not dead set on haveing it done myself only because it can make a cats feet so tender they will no longer scratch to use a cat box. I have seen it happen.....the last cat I had declawed was a big snowshoe siamese and her feet were very tender and she girl thingy footed all around the house so to speak. Depends on how the vet does it I am sure and age maybe or the cat skin type (she had pink pods).......there are always exceptions. I LOVE cats !!! >^..^<

Usually male ginger cats have a very strong musky odour. It is also hard to predict what your cats personality is going to be like when you get them very young.
So it is touch and go with getting a cat as they are very individual with definite strong personalities but a great household member to have around.
You never own a cat, you are usually owned by a cat.

LMAO, Helen!
I would get a female cat, Carrie. Never declaw cats -- It messes up their balance, and worse than that, it makes them even more neurotic than they normally are. You can keep their claws trimmed with a pair of cuticle scissors. A cat's claws are very very important to them, even if they are strictly indoor cats.
As for spaying or neutering: Get it done. Usually, the age of 4 months is when a vet will neuter a male, and I think females might be 6 months... But yes, please get it done. Cats' hormones really really mess them up, and spayed or neutered cats live longer. Also, you won't be able to stand being in the same apartment with a cat that's in heat. Trust me on this.
Good luck!

If you're smart, get the cat idea out of your head asap and don't look back. If you gotta have one, have it fixed and declawed. They stink and they will rip your stuff to shreads !!! I guess you can tell I hate cats. lol
Carl, sorry to hear ya gotta deal with such a pesky critter. Lock em' up.

My kitty is a dainty little princess and people who come to my house can't believe I have a cat. There is no smell. She is fixed and declawed. She shakes her paws still from time to time. Cna;t get over that one. Too funny. Sorry guys but I have good furniture and had to do it. She is the most affectionate people oriented cat I have ever seen.
Hey Frank Post a pic of your kitty. It was soooo cute.

Learn how to hiss and meowl like a cat about to attack. The cat will bolt away from you. If you do it right, just a little one is all that is needed to show some dominance.

Cats are funny little critters with personality - that's what's I like about em'. Our oldest cat was de-clawed eight years ago and she still holds her paws up when she's looking for a little sympathy. She's small but keeps our other cat an dog in line, she is the queen.
Our newest cat is another adopted stray. When we took him in he had a broken back leg, we call him Hoppy. He really believes he's a dog, walks on a leash, lays in the middle of everything, greets people at the door, etc.
His game is escape - not to run away, just escape. Once he's out he waits for you to pick him up and take him back in. One time he got out without anyone noticing. We found him plastered to our porch window a few hours later demanding re-entry.
Both cats like our dog more than they like each other. It's a howl to watch em' interact.
Good luck dealing with your situation - that cat seems to have your number.

Remove cat's whiskers and set aside.
Wash your hands then bring a very large, clean pot of water to the boil. Add two axe-heads and a little salt, then gently stir in cat. Simmer for two days.
Throw cat away and eat axe-heads garnished with the whiskers.
(Note: This soup makes you very smart because Leunig told me so.)

Also........keep you cat inside !! A healthy cat lives indoors........but of course there are exceptions. But ya don't want to have to go thru what I did the other day when one of my wild outside kittens got ran over. I noticed something in the road.....blech I hated to have to look or see it......so I got my big shovel and headed out front to the road. As I stood there two more cars went by being NOSEY stareing at me. Frump frump.......frump frump......that little kitty died as a big dead cat. I had to practially SQUEEDZIE it up and off the road I had a coal shovel and it didn't fit . About thru it at that last vehicle but I needed it. Ahhhhh.....the humanity Pam
