I've been watching a girlfriend's family pretty closely - I have a 6 month old baby and three cats so I've got some changes coming. She has a three year old, one on the way and currently 4 cats; two elderly, two kittens.

Her daycare taught the kids "walk away" when in a confrontation. They hold up a hand, say "not nice" and ask the playmate to walk away. My friend in turn taught her daughter that when the kitties wag their tails that's how they say "not nice" and its time for her to walk away. Seems to work pretty well except when mom is on the phone. Then its a great way to get mom's attention by ignoring the cat's tail signals!

Another girlfriend has a cat that pretty much lives in the bedroom. It's the cat's way of staying out of all day to day traffic, but it did require her moving a litter box upstairs. It took a while for the cat to pick out it's territory in the house though.

40 treats is a great snack for sheer size! I hope Briscoe (as in Lenny? He got all the good one-liners!) continues to improve.

Purrs,
Elizabeth
