Anthony said: <(I smacked the heck out of the cats whenever I caught them and they still did it.)> Do you actually think a cat would care WHAT you thought? Corporal punishment is lost on them, they approach the world from the viewpoint that you, and your posessions, are there for THEIR use. Smacking is viewed with resentful puzzlement, much like the king would feel if the peasants were to begin a revolt (What's the problem? They get the scraps from the scullery, what are they complaining about?) Sorry, don't mean to start a cat thread. David |
