"My Cat From Hell"

[ScreamingMeemie]

Has anyone watched this on Animal Planet? I think it's my new favorite show. Kind of like the Dog Whisperer with cats. I loved the first episode that I watched. It was an engaged couple who were on the verge of calling it off because their cats did not get along.

Good stuff.

1. Some cats are just naughtier

Than others. Bob was my son's cat. He was pretty bad, part feral, or something wild. His sister Ralph is my kitty, now. She never does things like he did.

He would jump on the counters if I was not in the room. He loved butter. I'd hear him thump to the floor as I approached the kitchen. He knew better.

He hunted and killed creatures. He would not be kept in doors. He fought other cats on a regular basis. Even though he was fixed. He dominated, Ralphie. He fought with her for sport occasionally.

He loved to drink from the toilet. He liked the water to move so he stirred it with his paw He also made sure to leave the seat wet and the floor footprinted up. He did the same to his water dish. Pawed it, put water all over the floor around the feeding area.

3. I have an orange tabby that thinks the water dish is a toy.

She's constantly knocking it around.

4. Louie, our 20lb'er does that too,

but sometimes he puts his weight on the rim of the bowl (it holds about a gallon and a half of water), and tips the entire bowl over.

14. My 18 lb'er JUMPS on me in the morning

Max freakin' hurts me when he wakes me up to feed him in the morning. He sits on me, digging his entire body weight into me, and if merely sitting on me doesn't work, that's when he goes into jump mode. OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!

5. Bob was orangish

Champagne colored with white paws and belly. Weighed about 15 lbs. He left a mess where ever he ate. He took his food out of the dish and smeared it on the floor. I could use his spilled water to wipe up his crusty food mess.

12. our 3 cat girls... annie taffy and inky occassionally play in the water

13. My old orange tabby liked coasters.

But, only if there was a full glass on it. He reach up from under the table, hook a claw into it and yank.

6. Did you find out what made Larry so violent? I don't have a TV so now I'm

wondering how it all got resolved. Also did they say whether is Larry a RussIan Blue?

[ScreamingMeemie]

7. They did not say but she sure looks like it, eh?

They got her spayed, which was contributing to her bad behavior. She was much better at the end.

8. I hope you are talking about the cat, and not one of the owners.

[LisaL]

9. LOL.

They had an unspayed cat and were wondering why it behaved the way it did? LOL again.

10. The owners, at least the guy,

"discipline" Larry with a stick. WTF do he and his fiance expect from Larry in return?

Abusers should not be able to have pets. Or children.

I wonder if the guy also "disciplines" his fiance with a stick.

11. It is one of my favorite new shows

Jackson seems to really understand cats.

Not only do they talk about breed specific needs, but he also resolves relationship issues involving multiple cats, additional pets in the household or multiple people trying to get along with one or more cats.
