It can be really irritating to have a cat who insists on jumping up on your kitchen counters and trying to get at the food you’re cooking.
If he does it when you’re in the kitchen preparing food, you may be able to discourage him by saying “no” very sharply and loudly while clapping your hands together to drive him off. Make sure you are not feeding him little snacks while you’re cooking, because that simply teaches him to jump and beg.

You’re not crazy. Your cat actually is using different purr sounds to communicate with you. A recent study from Behavioral Ecology at the University of Sussex shows that cats use a manipulative purr sound known as “solicitation purr” that has evolved in part, to get people to respond to them. Fifty human participants listened to recordings of cat purrs and determined that the solicitation purr sounds were indeed more urgent than regular purring. So what’s this mean? Your cat’s working her purr to get your attention.
But don’t tell your friends. They’ll think you’re crazy. Read the full article at <a href=”http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2009/07/13/cats-purring-humans-print.html”Discovery News.
