Thread: Getting the chop!

I don't know if it's the hormones but Dudley is incredibly boisterous at the moment and he's discovered that climbing the curtains is pretty fun too. Very funny to watch but pretty destructive!! Sylvester just watches on in disbelief.

I think it is known as "Being a baby",they suddenly realise there is a big world to take on...
I seemed to have had various results with my babes at that age,Bruce was good & just liked normal games at floor level,Merlyn was so busy humping everything stationary or moving that he stayed pretty grounded,Welly was a whirlwind & nothing or nowhere sacred & his brother Shimba tried to go with him but by the time he had launched upwards Welly was down & going on his next circuit so in the end Shims would just sit in the middle of the floor & try to go with bruv the next time round.Have to say Welly is the only one who has also left the curtains looking a bit sorry for themselves.I think it is very strange how much they can differ,don't think it is all down to hormones though because they soon seem to come out the other side & Welly had his bits on until he was over a year old.....
I have known neutered cats to be brought into work because they have started spraying & normally it is because they feel threatened by something & sometimes if a cat is spraying before being neutered they still carry on,taking the bits away is not the answer to everything & the hormone influence is still there for a while afterwards it isn't an instant cut off,but still something that has to be done....bless !

Ours were fine until 8 months when Larry decided his b***s were the biggest and started weeing on the floor and duffing up his brother good and proper. Fortunately after the op they were back to normal and the super boisterous and dirty behaviour stopped...phew!!! Just normal kitten wrestling and thundering around now, wouldn't have it any other way.

Well there's plenty of wrestling going on but I think it's pretty friendly at the moment. Yip poor Dudley- little does he know what's going to happen after Christmas......

Just booked Dudley in for tomorrow morning :(. Feeling a bit stressed about it! It's going to be hard denying him breakfast tomorrow!!

Yep, that's what I found hard as well... makes you feel such a mean mum doesn't it?
But no worries, he'll be right as rain this time tomorrow.

Good luck for tomorrow, Catlover. i've just booked Wicca in for next week. No idea how you starve one cat but not the other - can't wait to solve that little problem...

Let us know how Dudley gets on.

The easiest thing is to give neither girl any breakfast. Then, as soon as you have Wicca safely in her travel cage in the car, dash back into the house and give Freya her brekkies. That’s how we did it.
Good luck!

A good tip - thanks, that'll come in handy next Thursday!
