Why a robotic vacuum cleaner might be better than a standard one for a cat owner

PoC avatarPosted on November 5, 2021 by Michael BroadNovember 5, 2021

This point has not been discussed as far as I am aware. The potential problem came to me this morning. We know that nearly all domestic cats are frightened of vacuum cleaners because of the noise they make. To a … Continue reading →

Should I rub my cat’s nose in his pee?

PoC avatarPosted on July 18, 2020 by Michael BroadJuly 18, 2020

You should not rob your cat’s nose in his pee no matter what he has done to urinate inappropriately. They won’t have a clue what is going on except that it is a bad and frightening experience. The same applies … Continue reading →

Do cats understand “No”?

PoC avatarPosted on June 27, 2020 by Michael BroadApril 25, 2021

Domestic cats don’t understand “No”. However, they will understand that you are making a certain sound in a stern voice. You’re using a stern voice because you want your cat to stop doing something which displeases you. You may even … Continue reading →

Cat punishment versus divine intervention

PoC avatarPosted on June 22, 2020 by Michael BroadJuly 5, 2021

Anyone with reasonable knowledge of cat guardianship knows that punishing a domestic cat is pointless. It’s worse than pointless. It achieves an objective which is unintended: it frightens a cat to the point where they might avoid their human companion … Continue reading →

Are spray bottles effective on cats?

PoC avatarPosted on May 9, 2020 by Michael BroadJune 5, 2021

This is a pretty old question and one that pops up frequently. I think it’s still relevant because when you search on the Internet and read about it in books it is apparent that it remains a popular way to … Continue reading →

I hit my cat very hard a couple times for biting my new kitten very badly. Now he walks away when I touch him. What should I do?

PoC avatarPosted on May 5, 2020 by Michael BroadMay 5, 2020

The question comes from Quora. It is a disturbing but fiercely honest question as the person who asked it has admitted to the world their error (but they remained anonymous in terms of their name). And it is a grave … Continue reading →

Should I use a spray bottle on my cat?

PoC avatarPosted on March 20, 2020 by Michael BroadMarch 20, 2020

There are different views on this and some websites actively recommend it as a cat trainig method. Apparently in a proportion of US homes there are spray bottles in every room! These are, in effect, water pistols used to squirt … Continue reading →

Man meows loudly at his sleeping cat to take revenge for being woken up

PoC avatarPosted on April 17, 2019 by Michael BroadApril 17, 2019

For me this is stupid, unhelpful and mindlessly commercial. It is actually cruel. It is actually bloody awful to look at to be perfectly honest. He is a mean looking man, isn’t he? He does not look very nice and … Continue reading →

If your cat’s behaviour is driving you nuts try timeout

PoC avatarPosted on March 6, 2019 by Michael BroadMarch 6, 2019

This is a snippet of advice from Jackson Galaxy. I’ve never tried it because I’ve never had cause to but I am sympathetic towards people who may on occasions become frustrated with their cat’s behaviour. Cat behaviour is never bad … Continue reading →

Jackson Galaxy on Feline Punishment

PoC avatarPosted on February 1, 2019 by Michael BroadMarch 1, 2020

I have always been passionately against punishment as a means of training a cat. I thought I’d look up what Jackson Galaxy thinks about cat punishment. He discusses it in his book Total Cat Mojo. Supporters of punishing a domestic … Continue reading →
