Hal called me again today. Before I explain, let me say that I have tried EVERYTHING with this guy. Two sided tape, stuff to prevent Buddy from scratching his beloved carpeting, another scratching post (all out of my own money which was not reimbursed). All this guy does is complain and compare Buddy to his deceased cat. He asked me if Buddy would ever calm down. He's a high strung cat! He likes to climb to high places. I just don't know if he'll calm down or if that is just his personality.

Hal told me he hates to yell at the little fella and has been squirting him with water to prevent him from misbehaving. Buddy LOVES high places, so he climbs up on the refrigerator, on the mantle, on top of the tv.

To be honest, I'm tired of the whole situation. I want what's best for Buddy and I know Hal wants to make it work. He really does care about him and I know he'll miss him. He asked me about Soft Paws and is thinking about trying them. But everytime I try something new, it's always outta my pocket.

I told him I'd be over on Monday to treat Buddy's kitty acne and we'd talk then.
