My cat lay in the bathroon sink but never the kitchen sink, he is banned from that kitchen counter, sink, and table.

Yes my cat loves cardborad boxes too,
For Christmas I gave him a nice cat bed that was in a box. He seemed to like the box better. So I laid the cat bed in the box and he loved it.

He doesnt shred them though, how ever the rolls of TP that is another story! LOL

Ive got two cats. One is a sink-lover, too, but like PA's is only allowed in the bathroom. The other one's a nut who likes to chew apart cardboard boxes or anything made of foamy material (beach shoes and such). Neither will touch the TP, but the paper towel roll is a firm enemy that must be destroyed at all costs. They sneak up onto the top of the fridge in the middle of the night to knock it down and kill it sometimes!

how do you guys stop kitty from the kitchen sink? Ive tried everything, even lining up coke bottles all the way down the counter - thinking if he tries to jump,he ll knock em over and get spooked - ya, but no. not the case, its like he has just as much fun knocking them over and then relaxs in the sink - gawd hes sooo dirty!

[katono]

do your cats ever pull matrix moves??? When No's all hyped up he ll run around the house, knocking over whatever is in his path, run full speed towards the wall and run up it, turn he's head midair, smile like a little devil, and run back down! lol well, ok, maybe not smile, but you know - grin like a mad man! lol

When you are trying to teach a cat thats a NO NO,.... youhave to catch them at it right away and have a spray bottle with water ready. When they are naughty spray them in the face with water. They hate it and they do learn. (water wont hurt them).

And then you have to clean the little bugger, too! Mine are too evil to bathe anymore. Bite, claw, and the last time climbed right up over my face. Claw marks all over.

I used similar to PA, a squirt gun. (just a little one! No SuperSoaker needed!)

Also, you can put down double-sided tape. Used that to get mine to stop sharpening claws on things. They absolutely hate the feel of it. Put it down on the counter in front of the sink (or however they get to it). It'll be a pain for awhile, but they really do think it's the devil and it works surprisingly quickly.

My cat Simon wrote that movie. Zoe is too much of a tub to do much of anything, though. Sometimes he'll freak out and run and jump up a door jamb in an open door. He'll dig in and just hang there for awhile. Put the sticky tape up, and he figured out that he just had to jump higher! freak

Awwww..... How cute! Seriously, they are. How old are they? Do they make good pets or are they always on the wild side?

They're not my pets, just a picture that was emailed to me. I just thought they were really cute so I posted the pic. I wouldn't think they would make good pets but who knows. You see people with some crazy pets! My mother-in-law raised a baby squirrel in her house and it was pretty wild. It would steal the dog's treats and "bury" them in the couch or carpet.

Glad you liked the pic tho!
