The KEY to a Better Relationship with Your Cat!

When it comes to living with a cat under our roof, we may be thinking that the cat should abide by OUR rules. Not so fast! Just like any relationship, compromise is key if you want to achieve harmony in the home. These are simple tools for solving some common cat issues (like the cat jumping on the table when you're eating!) and creating a better life for both YOU and your cat!

About the cats laying on your keyboard... One of my cats has learned how to press the spacebar on my laptop to pause videos or movies I'm watching because he wants my attention. "Stop watching machine, watch me!" He will waltz right up and press the spacebar and only the spacebar.

I think my cat understands me when I say “I’ll be right back.” He’s usually on my bed when I say that. He stays put till I return (usually w/in 3-5 mins).

I’m getting a cat in a few days and I feel like climbing the walls in excitement 😂 I’ve been bing watching your vids and trying to do everything you said. You’re soooo good at what you do! 🐈 😊 😁

So I am not the only one saying "boink" when I put my cat on the floor, sure makes me feel better LOL

Cats being on the or phone / computer - so cute. Mine learned not to literally lie on the computer, but she watches medical webinars with me, on my lap - and still tries to " program by paw" if she gets the chance. I have to watch her like a hawk. LOL

My cats love being on the kitchen island... I put on one end a blanket. Problem solved! I already wipe the countertops daily anyways. One of them also likes my keyboard...put a bed next to the keyboard. Now I have a fuzzy coworker

I’m a bit compulsive with keeping things separate between ‘clean’ and ‘dirty’. I change my clothes when I’ve left the house, wash my hands too much and would only have sat on certain items of furniture or the floor if I thought I was ‘dirty’. We’ve only had our boy for two weeks, but I’ve already ceded almost all territory. I have built a tiny tinfoil shield attempting to protect my plant shelf, and try to keep him off the kitchen counters (a battle I am losing). The positive? He is pushing my boundaries and acclimating me to relax about these distinctions. He goes everywhere, so what’s the point in dividing them in my mind? I’ve adopted a new baseline - assume everything has been walked on by the cat and has cat hair on it. :) It’s been a exposure therapy in an adorable furry package.

Step one, lower your expectations. Step two, continue to live with lower expectations. Lol

My first cat was amazing and a very hard act to follow. My current cat just doesn’t have an interest in developing a deeper relationship. He is who he is and that’s all there is to it. I let him do his thing and it sucks for me, but you can’t force them. 🤷🏻‍♀️

My Joanna says that her most confident place is as high as she can get. She may not know how she's going to get down after, but she will take on every possible thing to be climbed as a challenge. She'll climb counters, bookshelves, closets, even try to climb up windows and screens. She's the boss of the high places, and the higher the better.

we dont deserve Jackson, like melting my heart he is so pure <3

Our cat was a quiet little wallflower in the shelter. That didn't last long at home! She now jumps on our bed first thing in the morning and puts her face literally on my face and screams. If we don't play with her soon enough she jumps up on the piano and plays her latest composition because she knows we don't want her up there. She's such a butt, but an absolute cuddle bug too. The most affectionate cat I've had. I love her to bits.

All three of my cats can go anywhere. They're my cats and it's their house, too!

[erikgamesdaily]

With my boyz in my house, I let them on the counters, couches, and tables bcuz I believe that that is part of there nature (and I can/and do clean them every day (not that they are dirty). The one rule I have and they do it is not on the table during dinner time but I also have spots everywhere in the house and there favorite spots are the trees in the window. My boys also love to eat when I do.

My Siamese rescue always wanted to be on my kitchen table, in my small Brooklyn apartment. I couldn't keep him off of it. The compromise was that he was allowed on the table when it was empty, but not when there was food or meal prep items on the table. The table was washed well before each meal, and that was his signal that the table was to be off limits until the meal was over. It wasn't perfect, but it worked for us in our small space.

Our kitten is coming home soon!! I’ve been living and breathing these videos so we can give her the best life (and you encouraged us to feel like we could even be competent cat parents)! So thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise 🥺

Since my cats can't lay on my phone, they've learned to rub their heads against it.

Also, I didn't know dog booster seats were a thing and now they've melted my heart.

We want to know if this video will help us train our hooman better.

After all my years with cats I realized that having them indoors not only creates a better bond with you and them but also they are way better protected than the outside world.
Many cats either get in fights or ran over when they stay outside for too long N it's just very sad.
