I'm At My Wits End Here

I'd assumed it had something to do with his manhood... I'm really getting on HJ's butt about getting that certificate! Our friend offered to take him with him the next time he went to AR (he reguarly visits family in AR) so I don't understand what the wait is, lol.

Sometimes men are a bit funny about neutering male cats....they think it's THEM that are losing some bits!

Keep at him...can you not phone the friend YOURSELF and remind him? At least the friend might remember!

Well its his buddy from work

We hang out occasionally but we're friends by association, I suppose hehe

I definitely had a talk with him last night and said we are NOT procrastinating any more!! Especially since, apparently, he was at walmart last night and talked to a lady who was buying ten bags of cat food

and she said to get him fixed. So.. he listens to a random lady at walmart, but not his own fiance! lol

Hey, when family does it, it's nagging. When it's a stranger, it's a GOOD IDEA!!!

As long as poor Double-Oh gets fixed up and shutting up.

It can take 10 days for the hormone levels to go down...so if he still yells for a while, he's just going through the "change"....lol

hugs

I do think a big part of the problem is that he isn't fixed, but I also think part of the problem is that he's a little boy! Corkscrew was a terror when I first got him at 8 months old, he didn't start to mellow out until he was maybe 2-3 years old. He still spends some nights locked in the bathroom because he like to jump on shelves, cabinets, bookshelves or anything he can find just to knock stuff off. He likes to push things and watch them fall. However he no longer attacks me like he used to when he was a kitten. I couldn't sleep with him in the room because he would jump onto the bookshelf then dive onto my face!

Tuna wasn't any better as a kitten, his favorite hobby was to break things. He also loves to watch things fall. Kittens are naughty and I think little boy kittens are even naughtier! Plus nighttime is the best time to cause trouble because that's when mommy is asleep!

How about getting some low wattage night lights??? Although I really think everyone is right, he needs to be neutered.

My Munchkin, Shortie Girl, walks around the apartment meowing her head off after I go to bed. She's actually looking for MooShoo (personally, I think they're having a little "kitty love"). She hops up on my bed. Once I show her that he's right next to me under the covers with his head on the pillow, she settles down, curls up next to him and goes to sleep.

Hmmmmm, sounds like LOVE to me!!!
