I have cats that crawl everywhere while taking care of any business in the bathroom. If I can get there first, I get relative peace. Big 'if' to getting there first, though, lol.

From the vet last week we got all but the roundworm cleared. I also found that he had what looks like ear mites (ear boogies).
So we are attacking that on two fronts. He got some Revaluation for kittens and some ear stuff that I put in at night. He sure
does enjoy the ear rubs right now. Last night he sort just relaxed in my lap after the ear meds.
He is getting bigger and in better control of the paws. I am not getting scratched as much now as he tryes to grip my legs or arms.
I'll get some new photos up soon.

Thank You.
Tetsu was the same way about the underwear. If he happened to be in the bathroom when your were taking care pf things he would
climb right in. I think he started doing it less and less by the time he was 4 years of age.
I think to be on the safe side Bella will get some Revolution so that if we have stowaways she does not end up with ear boogies or fleas.
Xander sure likes his ears rubbed and only gave me a little fuss when it came time to do the ear meds.
I can also tell you that he is a jumper. He has started going from the bathroom counter to my shoulder in one clean leap. He then wraps
around the back of my neck to talk into one of my ears and/or nibble on it. I think it time to work on commands so that he knows when it
ok to make that leap. I have been working with the clicker and treat. I done things to get a cat or dog to do something but a command to
not do something I need a little help. Anyone have some ideas?
Thanks

Once they've learned that the clicker means treats/pets/praise then it works for just about anything. All of my cats have been finger-snap trained instead of clicker, because I'm lazy and don't want to bother carrying one, but it's the same principle. If you want to teach him to get down from things on command, for instance, you'd give him a treat and/or positive reinforcement for complying the same as you would with the wanted behavior.
He sounds like he's got that charming Siamese personality!
