Cats, we can all pretty much agree that they are on the unhinged side of things. You never quite know what they are thinking, you never quite know what they are going to do next, all you do know is that whatever they do, it will be unexpected. Which ironically makes this story somewhat expected, but only in the sense that we are prepawed for the unexpected. For this story is the tail of a cute cat child who developed quite the aggressive expression of love, purrhaps from watching countless hours of WWE on television with her pawrents.

But instead of her pawrents trying to correct her expression of love, or worse still, give her away for being unmanageable, they banded together and came up with an idea. Because sometimes you cannot do anything about the onslaught of a storm, you simply have to put on a raincoat and see it out.

    My husband and I adopted a cat back in the beginning of January. She is the first cat either of us have owned, but I did enough research to be comfortable in my knowledge of cat care/needs. The shelter

    She is very playful and sweet. She loves to cuddle before bed with purring and biscuits. She likes to wake me up in the same way. When I get

  • Now, this is what you would call an insanely wholesome and happy feline relationship. What wonderful dedication and participation, unfortunately not all cat pawrents are like this. On the other hand all that attention and spoiling might lead to some behavioral problems…you know, like the one mentioned in the title…

    She gets at least 30- 45mins of worm toy (wand toy with a fuzzy worm attachment) and is often panting like a dog at the end of a play session. This is when I end

    Saying "No!" or shaking her off doesn't work as she will attack the other foot instead. This behaviour happens randomly throughout the day when she is playful and will be purring while she is doing this. I need

  • Goodness gracious, this sounds like a very stressful way to ‘wind down at the end of a day’. Like how are you meant to go to sleep knowing that there is a feline demon zooming around your house with a particular penchant for the delicious odor that your feet give off. We would be wearing big steel toe capped boots to bed.

    Update A month ago, I made a post about my small entity attacking our feet. I now have an update after my husband tried out an... interesting solution: Oven mitts.

    My husband joked that he was going to bring home some welding gloves so we can wear them on our feet when we go into the bedroom, which was the only room she would attack in. Randomly, that

    put them on and got on the floor. She instantly charged him and latched onto the oven mitt, bunny kicking his mitted hand into submission, purring up a storm the whole time while her ears were ready for liftoff.

    Turns out her favourite game is WWE and the oven mitts have helped reduce her desire to attack our feet. When we see her getting playful, we put them on and she can go to town. For

    I have always had dogs and wrestling with a giant rottweiler is quite fun. I never expected to be able to do it with my cat but I am so happy that I can since it's a ton of fun to play with her and she loves it.

    We only wrestle with the oven mitts and not actual hands so she doesn't seem to associate them with toys, only the mitts.

    She also doesn't seem to have interest in other oven mitts so she seems to have realized that these ones are for playing and others are not. It has also reduced the undesirable behaviour, which I am very happy about.
