Hello epistoliere and welcome to PT.

Eight months is late to start "training" your cat. If you get them as babies you can do some things. Almost everytime that you see them sleeping on the floor, pick them up and lay them in somebodys lap or next to you on the couch.

You can still have a great influence. Be there and love that cat. Don't smother. I like to pick up my cats and walk with them. I carry them around and show them the stuff that is high up that the would never see otherwise. Cats like being high up. It is a defensive posture that comes from the wild.


Hey PayItForward, thanks for the calculator. According to that my boy is 77. No wonder that he is such and old f--- , er, puff of wind.

Old cats or kittens, we love them all so much.
