I dont know if I can blame the wind, the clouds, the rain, or whether the others have told him that Santa will be visiting next week, but Henry is being a little sh1t at the moment. All that bad behaviour we had when he still had his bits has returned, at least during the day. He runs round the house at 90 miles an hour, we havent dared put a tree up this year, knocking things over, attacking poor little Tabitha and generally being a naughty boy. Has anyone else got a moggy playing up at the moment? I do believe that it is the weather, so I cant wait for it to get cold a d frosty again.

It's freezing , wet and windy out at the moment here, but our Frodo is still too young to go out at 7 months ( I'll wait until he is approx a year old and neutered ).I don't know if the weather really makes much difference.
I do know, however, that Frodo the hooligan kitten is heading towards an asbo with his attacks on the dogs and racing around steeling anything remotely small enough to choke him :rant: :rant:
I just keep telling myself he'll grow out of it ::) and telling OH it's his fault for wanting a male this time :innocent: but if he carries on like this when he does go, out there will be no other living creature for quite a distance, he tackles anything!

I don't know what weather it is you've got there at the mo, NormandyMary, but I had a cat behaved mostly oddly when there was snow in the offing. Turned out to be that I was dishing out electric shocks, and so were the carpets sometimes, when there was a lot of static in the air. I found that I had to not wear any static-y clothing (anything with nylon in, for a start), and sometimes I had to dampen the carpets with a plant mister spray!

Our Mog is being a real tinker. She doesn't want to go out in the day or is out for just a few minutes and then back home and back in her bed . Too wet/cold outside and she's not burning off any energy. As a consequence she is following everyone around, jumping on everything, hiding, running up and down stairs and generally making a pest of herself ::) ;D and she is a middle-aged lady who should know better.
Maybe it's the same for little Henry - least his a baby and has an excuse.

My 5 year old is being a pain, I'm putting it down to the weather, she doesn't like not being able to get out as much.

Ours have been the same when it's been too wet for them to want to go out. I made a play fort/tower for them out of cardboard boxes with holes cut in the walls which they worked some of their excess energy off on. Feliway spray can help calm them down too, but it's not cheap! Fingers crossed for better weather :fc:

It must be catching, my two had a full scale, spitting, claws out, fight yesterday ::)

Hi
Our 2 seem to have mad sessions chasing up and down the landing and play fighting on a regular basis (7 mnths old), they were very naughty on xmas eve chasing over the furniture and going mad for about an hour, i put it down to picking up on our stress, we are still in training though they havent yet taught us what there different forms of communication mean, we have been taught a stroke from head to tail is good but under the cheek/ear is better and food time is best every 4 hours and to be prompt or they will be naughty etc (soo funny).
