I think my main problem with my female cat is that I have been spoiled with my male cat. He's always been soooo mild tempered and easy going. He has NEVER done anything bad. Then I go and adopt this female, and all she does is get into trouble. That and she's mean to my older cat. He's almost 15 yrs. and she's only 10 mo. I understand that kittens are alot of work, but oh my!!! This one is the extreme! I don't hate her or anything, although sometimes I'd love to wack her one, I just need to vent sometimes. Thanks for all the responses!

Cats are natural climbers........so give her something else to climb like a carpet covered tower with hiding places and put double sided sticky tape on top of the fridge, or tape baloons that have been blown up. One pop and they are out of there.
Mine are to old to climb now but when they were young I always wanted a "cat walk", all around the tops of the rooms so they could get up there and survey the rest of the world down below.

I really like the balloon idea, I think I'll give it a try. The cat walk is a good one too. Have to think about that one! Thanks!

I just got a book called "Cat vs. Cat" by a feline behaviorist, and her suggestions are working with our cats so far. Might be worth picking up from the bookstore or the library.....

I love watching my cats play and get into things. One would lay on a chair covered with a quilt and bat at everything that passed him by. The youngest used to jump on the fridge but he doesn't anymore. What he still does is sit on tables and experiement with the laws of gravity. He will push something to the edge and watch and fall and then find something else. I have banned him to the bathroom at night because he plays most of the night and he also needs special food and eats constantly but I can't let the other cats get at his food.

Thought I'd share some more recent pics of "the trouble maker" so you could get a taste of what I have to deal with every day!  I've referred to her before as "Bella"...it's short for Annabelle. i've been told that she fits her name perfectly!
Here she is getting into my bathroom garbage [image] [/image]
Here she is IN the garbage [image] [/image]
getting into my homemade kleenex box [image] [/image]
actually in the box [image] [/image]
Saved the best for last...here she is trying to get on the counter. Look at the determination in her eyes! [image] [/image] [image] [/image]

Calico....She's beautiful. I have a 5 month old kitty and she's grey, black and brown tiger striped. Trouble, trouble, trouble. I know what you mean. Mine loves to go up to the toilet paper holder and just unravel it. Then carries it in her mouth from room to room. I have these long strands of TP all over the house. Hey doesn't she know how needed toilet paper is in our house!

Hey Lisa! I'm very fortunate in that department. However, she's too smart for her own good, I think it's just a matter of time. (fingers crossed)
