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!)
