Acclimating SV in a loft

[Chris Elliott]

Abbas dont like the walk harnet, he try to bit me.

He dont like the candy i buy for him, so it will be hard to learn "clicker".

All cats hate the walking harness/jacket at first. If you can get it in him, give him some time to get used to it, maybe only 15 minutes the first day. Try playing with him to distract him. He will get used to it.

You'll find a treat he likes. Freeze-dried chicken works with most cats.

Glad the cats like each other--that will make it much easier. Expect some yelps and hissing as they get used to each other and learn how rough to play.

Best wishes. Remember that your time there is short!

Beautiful cat!

This night, i put him in transport cage again, asap i will buy à small dog cage, Abbas like to jump on us in night, on us i meas our face. I think he want play and dont know yet it not the moment. So with the cage, he can be with us, smell and see without this comportement?

This morning they fight or they play.

Will i see the difference with sound ? My other have no claw.

Well the cage may solve your problem for tonight, but are you going to crate him every night for the rest of his life? Better to teach him was is acceptable behavior now.

 

[Xenaph]

How you teach his behivior?

 

[Patti]

I would say 'no' and put him off the bed. If he insists on pouncing on you I would put him in the transport carrier. Hopefully it would only take a few time outs in the carrier for him to get that it is not acceptable to pounce on the humans when they are trying to sleep...

 

[Xenaph]

Ok si everytime he do something wrong, i say no and if he repeat, i put him the cage for 10-15 min?

When it will be bigger, the restroom is the same thing ?

I bought feline greenies, he dont like. What savannah like for positive renforment?

I also bought catnip spray, put on tree but doest not work, is it normal ?

Thank à lot for all answer, i dont do something wrong. He is gorgious and curious.

 

[Patti]

No, not at all. The best way to correct 'misbehavior' is to redirect - most behavior is innocent on his part, so if he chews on something inappropriate or starts sharpening his nails on something inappropriate it's best to try to redirect him to a toy or scratching post. When you're in bed trying to sleep it's hard to redirect other than show him that you don't want to be disturbed. However, I would try to minimize negative reinforcement as much as possible.

 

[Brigitte Cowell]

Agreed with Patti, when you are trying to sleep you cannot redirect behavior so her advice is good... but if you give timeouts for EVERYTHING then the meaning of that timeout then is diluted and less effective.

Not all cats react to catnip, and sometimes it takes until they are 6 months old or more before they do too.

None of my cats like traditional cat treats. The only treat I find they like almost consistently is freeze-dried chicken treats... like these: http://www.chewy.com/cat/whole-life...aign=f&utm_source=shopping.com&utm_medium=cse
