My two boys are so different in terms of their personality and docility. The natural mink is like a ragdoll, he is ready for anything: lets me clip his nails, lets me brush him, he wants to sleep in my lap, he rolls on the floor on his back under at my feet if I stand there for a second.

The blue point younger boy is a bandit. He does not like brushing, neil clipping is non-nogitable item for him. He like to cuddle from time to time and watch TV with me but his brother also needs to be arround for him to serve as a pillow .

Both of them follow me from one room to another. The blue point wants to get involved in everything I do - jumps up with a very competent face as if he was better at doing what i am doing and puts hsi furry paws everywhere. He is also more vocal one.

Wiping them with a damp cloth is not easy - non of them like it.

Now we are in a major training process - we need to learn to keep off the kitchen counter. One of them, I suspect the naughtier one, jumps on the counter but I never see it. I put sticky tape, vibration alarm, and waiting for results to occur.

Does anyoone have experience with a effective deterrent spray? I bought three different ones in Pet Smart but my kitties do not seem to care about that smell - they are still running like crazy on that sofa .
