    Ahhh yes! The dreaded spray bottle...Good idea! I works wonders on Miss J. In fact...I have it sitting right next to me because Miss J. thought it would be a good idea to try and pull the carpeting off the floor next to the sliding door. Two good squirts and she said 'to heck with that....for now '

    I hope squirting does the trick!

    And as for your bed...is that not the most infuriating thing? Buddy has been known to do that...GRRRRRR And of course...it only happens when I am dead tired and can't wait to fall into the bed, but can't because I have to change the sheets and clean the mattress. Man, if I didn't love that mutt..........

    I have been known to use the dreaded squirt bottle on my guys on occasion. Before I squirt them I will shake the botle so they here the sound of the water in the container and then I squirt them. After a few squirts I just have to shake the bottle and they will stop what ever they are doing (bad) at that moment.

    I have been following the story of Mr. Magoo and I am sorry that you are having such a difficult time with him. But maybe it is time for a little "tough love", i.e. the squirt bottle...

    Good luck!

    fake hand

    the fake hand is good for cats in cages that simply need to get used to the idea and feel of being touched by humans. We used them at the AU shelter (jan, maybe you loaned yours?). Anyway, it helped somewhat I remember- I can imagine it would help magoo because he'd be petted by it (in the cage- door open obviously) get irritated and bite it. When nothing happens, he lets go and simmers down- his ability to tolerate increases with time- I would imagine a very short period of time with him! Anyway- do what you have to do! I used to have some "bed wetters". I remember changing all the bedding only to go to bed a few minutes later with it peed on AGAIN- VERY territorial issues I guess! One cat used to pee directly down the bathtub drain (conveniently enought!- and a male no less!- he'd squat perfectly on top of it and leave no mess!)

    I am so glad that you are trying to work with Mr. Magoo and didn't just take him back. If you sucessed with him, the rewards will be so wonderful! However it comes out, you have done more than most of us could have done!
