But how reach can, cat on lap?

You dont even really need the water or spraying tho either, its often enough to use the firm tonality of "Nooooooo" and physically impose a bit on their space and pick them up to gently place them in a more acceptable spot without making it too comfortable for them so its not like a ride or attention or something.

They need to hear and see that you are upset with them so they can learn and know the rules and its not imposed with violence or anything gratuitous

I think almost everyone vastly underestimates cats' capacity to be trained and reinforced to do or not do certain things that can be problematic if left solely up to their instinctive out of the box behaviors

Whatever helps you

They must believe you will persist with this until they cease and desist in order for them to learn that behavior is unhelpful to them. Be gentle, no need to bang and make a fuss, just follow them similar to how someone goes to sit where their cat took over and where they understand if they dont move you're going to "smother" or continue to impunge on their space

Seriously! Its effective and fun! Do baby shark, that should be plenty irritating for them. Actually play and sing along to it for boosted effect and let the song play you in so they learn it as a trigger for i need to quit the bullshit

Just play a chasing off song and slowly impinge on their personal space every time they beg or try to solicit unauthorized feedings

You must not reward or validate that which you seek to discourage

One of mine likes to tug my bathrobe rope tie thing (hell even the whole robe lol) as I walk by her perch so now I'll lay at one end of the couch and tug of war the bathrobe rope by itself with her on the opposite side of the couch to mutual delight

 

What can be done about it, she's a sweetheart but this is honestly fucked. Pepetuay clean and maintained litter box, I am exasperated as I just caught her leaving some moistness where I sit

She is spayed

 

Try like 3-5 HZ with them at a low comfortable volume. Mine like them and become less vigilant when I have them playing

 

Honestly my fave part of having cats

 

My cat has asthma and I'm getting incredibly frustrated with everything. I want her to be ok and the constant asthma attackes despite treatment and vet "supervision" are also incredibly trying and I literally can't think or have any peace for any extended amount of time in the midst of this never ending storm

I tried inhaled corticosterioids (fluticasone) with rescue (ventolin) for over 2 months using the special brand name cat inhaler AeroKat without any effect on the constant asthma attacks.

She's currently on prednisolone mixed with liquid cat treat which seemed to work for a bit but its been like 2 months and she's basically at square one again :(

Running out of ideas and I'm curious about those who have found success i managing this and what that looks like day to day. I swear to god, I'm losing my mind over this and the like 1000-1500 ive spent not to mention untold hours thinking about this

Thinking of demanding or switching vets to get:

  • daily prednisolone
  • 3-4 month supply of prednisolone PER REFILL not every fucking month for half the month
 

As opposed to needing to dip their toes in "illegal" conduct and making their income streams unsound or too risky in terms of legal liabillity by doing ransom demands

 

Really wanna go all Austin Powers on it molé molé molé style with a stick

Can I at least exfoliate it daily until it has worn away?
