My cat comes to the loo with me too CLKD. She sits next to me on the floor or cat loafs. I feel like she’s guarding me or something!

[Penguin]

Wish we could share pics on here, I'd love to see all your cats! Unfortunately our puppy has discovered cats are fun to be chased, so the neighbour's cat who used to happily sleep on our decking, no longer can as the dog goes mental barking 🙈

[CLKD]

Cats usually stand their ground    .  Cats love tails ............ funny when they discover their own 

[Penguin]

The cat on the street which sees our pup when she's on a lead, arches her back and points her tail straight up on the air. All her fur seems to stand up too. She defo stands her ground and I have to drag pup past her. Cat in the garden very timid though and freezes, then scarpers. Funny when garden door is closed though and cats stroll past, nose in the air. Pup goes mental bilut can't do anything 🤣

[CLKD]

I wouldn't drag the pup .......... does she bark?  And cat does nowt except fluff up?  A learning curve: treats when pup stops barking and then when she stops being interested.  Our dogs weren't allowed to chase our own in the garden, a wanderer across the plot though was a different issue

That's a good idea, yes growls and barks and pulls really really hard towards the cat.

What do U walk the pup in, a Haltie and lead with a collar?  Lots of treats; when she stops barking, then walk away and back to the cat.  She'll get the idea that treats may be better than barking

I would happily send a photo of my beloved cats, or any other passing cat tbh. But I would withdraw my self from this forum if it involves selfies!!

My girl cat scared the bejesus out of me last night. I wandered into the bathroom half asleep and almost screamed when she crawled out suddenly from under the bath! My best bet is she's hunting the wolf spiders that come in now all the field crops are well and truly up.🕷

[CLKD]

From under the bath  - we have a wooden surround so that nowt can go underneath.  What's a 'wolf' spider ? Is that what we call 'autumn spiders' with the big webs in which they sit, plonk in the middle?

No we need to get a halti, I read about them this week. She has been recovering since being spayed though so it's all been on hold.

That's 1 issue out of the way, well done.

So practice with treats, some find a clicker useful too.  I'd love to watch the cat when Pup arrives 

I may have said already: I knew a dog that would chase a cat which would sit with his tail hanging down the brick wall: he knew exactly when to lift the tail so that the dog couldn't reach  .  The dog never did learn  .  Cat knew exactly what it was doing ..........

I think this cat down the road is similar, sees the pup coming and then taunts her.

Will buy Halti tomorrow. Need one with safety clip too as she may wriggle out of it. Making liver cake to use as high quality treats, I've heard they go nuts for it. Will blend in hubby's nutri bullet and stay out of the house while it's cooking 🤢

And apologies everyone, I know this thread is about cats not dogs , I'll stop now 🙈.

Although do need to pop over to the Christmas thread for my weekly bulletin about how many Fridays until Christmas 🤣

[Katherine]

My cat really really wants to go out at night at the moment but it’s just not sensible where I live, so I leave the window at her favourite window ledge open upstairs and she lies there looking out of the gap, bless her. I have to lock her in the living room overnight because if I let her roam she ‘hunts’ all night round the house and I get no sleep. Does anyone else have to do this? I would love for her to sleep on my bed

Penguin feel free to post about dogs, it can be an animal thread instead!
