That li'l turkey woke me up again this morning! This time at 4 AM!! He has food in his dish, so I think he just wants me to get up!!! He knows I'll throw something at him, so he goes under the bed and then meows!!!! Threats to send him off for medical research are ignored!!!!!

Making threats in order to modify behavior has no meaning unless you actually carry out the threat from time to time. In this case, once should suffice.

Mr. Hyde is a senior cit, and as such should be treated with the compassion and respect due someone as noble and distiguished as he is.

my advice is to you BM, is to respect your elders and just deal with it.

I think Bowlder needs a copy of that book, "101 Uses for a Dead Cat."

Thought of that already, princess - not a bad idea....

I didn't think you could say that, vi....

Won't work lizs - he's deaf as a doorknob....




BTW, yes, he was asleep when we left the house....

If he's meowing and then running under the bed could need to go to the vet. One of my cats does that.

No, he's OK - been to the vet often in the past year to make sure. He runs under the bed because I throw stuff at him when he meows!

The spitzer for the plants works.

Just putting it in eye-sight of our semi-blind dog makes here quiet and run to the spouse. :-)

I like the air horn idea.... If he's waking you up, there's no reason the rest of the house or neighbours should get to sleep soundly.... share the misery

Hey BM, I'm watching Red, my version of Mr. Hyde, dangling his tail in the koi pond. The koi were tugging on his fur, and he looked at me like "Who would dare mess with my fur?" If he scares the koi the big one (Nemo)splashes him.

my neighbor says her senior cat has started doing that very same thing....she has been an indoor cat all her life and now meows incessantly around three a.m. until she is let outside where she goes to the garden and lays around til breakfast.
wonder if it is the cat version of alzheimers?

Its not just a senior cat thing, my now 6-year old cat has done the same thing since the day I got him, almost 6 years ago! Imagine how much nicer I could be if I got a full night's sleep! LOL!


Bowlderman, you need the AirZooka. http://www.airzooka.com/shop/

Won't matter if Mr. Hyde is deaf, the blast of air will be enough to scare him off. And if nothing else, it'll teach BowlderSon a bit about physics.

Om, he's already taking meds for "cat alzheimers." The vet thought that might be why he was not peeing in his litter box, since he was otherwise healthy. Sure enough, he hasn't missed the box once since he started on it.
BowlderMan

The AirZooka sounds perfect, smiley, but they're out of stock....



Even though, as you know, I'm an engineer, I'm the last person that should be teaching physics to BowlderSon! Just ask my professors....
BowlderMan
5:26:57 PM
10/27/05

That's OK, Bowlder, I'll be teaching basic physic concepts to middle school kids....how scary is that! Bring on the chemistry instead!!


Search airzooka in google, there were a bunch of sites that were selling it. My fiance picked it up at a Spencer's Gifts shop.


BTW, my "cryer" cat runs immediatly at the sight of the AirZooka. Maybe if you left it near your bed, Mr. Hyde wouldn't bother you. I feel your pain at being woken up by an annoying cat who seems to need nothing but a bit of attention. Ya just want to strangle them, don't ya?

I'd strangle that one the same way I'd strangle these two:

awwwwwww, Mr. Hyde is soooooooooo cute!! Yes, I'm racist. Always preferred the silly orange cats, as well as the penguin/tuxedo ones, all black with the white feet and white marks on face. :-)

Last night, just after I drifted off to much-needed sleep, he puked up all his food right by the door of the bedroom! I think he did it on purpose! So I cleaned it all up - YUK! - and went back to bed. ZZZzzzz. 5 minutes later he was at it again - bleah!

Not too much noise this morning, though....

Ugh! Just got out of the shower and found that that little turd puked again!! That's it - no food for the rest of the day!

Why not close the bedroom door?

Poor Mr. Hyde.

The best cat is no cat at all.

Well, thats better then getting up first thing in the morning, stepping into the hall and right into a warm pile of puppy turd.....barefoot.....

I'll take the puppy turd over a pool of warm cat puke any day!

Cat puke is better than puppy turd any day. Pinky tried to cough up a hairball last night but choked on it and had part of it go down the wrong pipe. Instant asthma for him, so periodically through the night we'd awaken to a horrendous COUGH! and then silence. He should be over it by tonight. I hope.

Yeah have you ever tried to scrub puppy turd out of the carpet after you've stepped in it? BLECH!

Yes I have and it doesn't stain nearly as bad nor remove finishes like acidic cat vomit.
