Helping humans recognise subtle cat bullying. 1.


Dumb humans often don't notice when one of us is bullying another cat. They don't recognise what is going on. 

So to help them, I am posting this this video showing a ginger cat bullying a tortoiseshell. What he is doing is pushing the tortoiseshell away from the owner who has the video.

There's no feline violence involved. Just a movement between the tortoiseshell and her human.

This is subtle bullying. The tortoiseshell needs her human to recognise this and see if she can help the cats avoid each other.

Seperate feeding bowls, three litter trays in three different locations, two cat flaps, lots of cat beds - so that the tortoiseshell can always get to what she wants.

And the owner should think of time spent with the tortoiseshell, when the ginger is not in the room and cannot interrupt.

Help for cats whose humans show behaviour problems.

This blog is devoted to the study of human behaviour. We cats, who live with this sometimes unpredictable and always feeble minded species, can benefit from seeing their behaviour in its proper scientific context. The study of feline dilemmas, training problems, and difficulties with humans, can only benefit all of us. All of us train our humans - to buy the right food, for instance, but many of us do not have knowledge of how to improve our training methods. The human species is obviously not as intelligent as the cat, but nevertheless can learn quite a lot - if properly managed. Topics of interest include the use of claw and order, purring as a human reward, rubbing your human up the right way, when to bite, spraying as a method of making our wishes known, ignoring the human, human harassment, human inattention and sheer human stupidity. I welcome your questions. Photos can be sent via my secretary's website, www.celiahaddon.com This blog has been chosen as one of the top 50 feline blogs by Online VetTechprogramms.org
