Thread: using us as climbing frames ouch :(

Sounds familiar. When Larry and Monty were little, Larry used to climb up our legs with no warning, until he learned to jump. Monty's speciality was to take a running leap and land like a velcro toy at waist level or even up as far as my shoulders. He's quite the athlete.

Fortunately they have grown out of it. Monty only jumps onto my shoulders now when I'm chopping meat.

Weve had maxwell(welly) for a week now & I am covered in red scratch welts. Ive gone through half a tube of savlon already. The joys of owning a kittenLuckily they grow out of it.
Vey sad to read about your lab. We had the same news with Minst, our Mackerel tabby. We found out he had stomach tumours in April.
Its very hard to cope with, but try to give her as much love as you can & support her when its needed.

When they are adult their claws are horrible try to correct their behaviour.


a few seconds later




Last week he killed an adult crow after he sectioned his wing with ONE cut of his claws.

Seems like a common problem. My boy used to do exactly the same thing. At first we thought it was funny but as they get bigger it seriously hurts. A firm 'No' followed by picking him up (or detaching him from my clothes) and placing him back on the floor must have sunk in eventually. Repetition. He is now 7 months old and hasn't done it for months. Good luck!
