Cat Tips

  For dog people who really, really, really want cats to like them, there is one unfair opportunity open to you.

Buy a can of salmon. Open the can before visiting the cats and rub, yes just do it, some of the fluid in the can on the backs of your hands and on your ankles. Pack the salmon in a lidded container. Go visit the cats. Sit quietly while they swish around you sniffing your delightful perfume. Finally, feed the salmon to the cats. Go home and wash up before trying your powers of attraction on human subjects. Next visit, the cats will be well disposed towards you.

    …but please make sure the cat(s) are allowed to eat salmon first – one of mine is allergicto seafood,

    Penny, that’s a very good point! All my 20 charges can eat salmon, but I know their habits well, being a family freind. For cats one does not know, as Penny says, we cat sitters should always check for allergies.

    Little Doll, If Raja and I came to your house I would bring you premium sardines and take the bones out with a tiny fish knife just for you!
