Starving kittens (so they tell me)I'd quite forgotten just how hungry growing kittens appear to be and just how determined they can be. Two is just double trouble!  I'll get my mind round it again but I can't remember any tricks for keeping them off kitchen work surface - i'm doing something, one jumps up, I pssst him and swoop him off, by the time I've put him on the floor and turned back the other one is on the chopping board!  The other day Bentley swooped up made a grab, was down on the floor, growling, crouched over a relatively large white thing  .... what on earth was it? ... the stale-ish end off a loaf I had cut off ready for the ducks!  He was all set to eat it. He reminds me of Jerry mouse in an old Tom and Jerry cartoon, where a baby Jerry is left in a basket on Tom's doorstep, with a note' please look after this baby' . He is always hungry, and I remember a piece where he swallows a big red apple whole, and turns into a round apple shaped mouse with ears and whiskers. Ah, I ramble ....... ....again ...... Anyway, surface-surfing reduction tips welcome!

I remember the kitchen work surface episode well!! I thought I would never be able to stop Cassie.....but continual scolding in my best 'annoyed' voice paid off.............after a couple of years!!  Good luck with it DM, you have double trouble there!! |

Afraid my cats still haven't learned after five years,You just need eyes in the back of your head! I have become expert at fending them off whilst cutting sandwiches, carving meat etc, that my partner is suprised I don't take up some sort of martial art my reflexes are so honed. Meh, It's all good fun? Yvonne x |

actually just remembered an incident when I first met my partner and I only had the two kittens, Twiggy and dizzy, I was telling my partner how well behaved Dizzy was and how he never ever pestered for food etc. As my partner walked past him with a plate full of food, Dizzy's paw shot out and speared a sausage, don't know who was more embarrased, Me, The cat or him. |

My Siamese, who at 16 is old enough to know better, but is a Siamese , is still quick enough to sit beside you on the bench at the table outside, seemingly nonchalent, then, the minute you relax, that speedy paw comes out and the salmon, tuna or steak which was on its way to your mouth just vanishes! Conduct unbecoming, but she doesn't care! |

I have this problem with my two. Now Chloe has found out at last that she actually loves food she is on the tops constantly!! Keep on just sweeping her off with my arm - hope she will get the message soon! |

You do get adept at doing everything with your right had and keeping the left hand for swatting, sweeping. Cats! when I met my partner I had two new kittens as I had lost both my two girls in the previous year, both aged 16. He said he didn't much care for cats, ha ha ha ha ha, now we have 4 older ones, 1 foundling and the kittens and he is dafter than me. Yvonne x |
