Can he train a cat to not barf in the hall? Can he train a cat not to play in the doggie water bowl and make a mess in the floor? Can he train the other cat not to knock on the door? And barf a second time. I’ve been awake since 4:30am.

Use the UD training method and load them up with franzia at bed time.

No it’s too late he would need them as Kittens, he’d change their DNA and have them sleeping at the foot of your bed all night long, only getting up to pee when you get up to pee.

Truth.

The plastic isn't shredded. I'm the Siegfried and Roy of housecats.

Alas, I was never successful at that. Because they slept in the bed that's where most of the hairballs wound up.

So, if one of your cats attack you does that make the cat guilty of hate crimes against gays?

Well KK, the barfer, is about 16 or so and TKL, door knocker, is around 11.
Do you have an address? FYI...I can make it through the night.

He’s actually a good cat but he does pick on the 22 yr old. Of course only when I’m in bed or in the basement watching tv.

Did you threaten to send them to Phred, into lockup with UD, or did you go with the Franzia method?

isnt it best to just give them a few rooms in the house and avoid those rooms except for feeding time and changing litter.

Well let me ask you this, how much square footage do you think three small cats need to be in a healthy environment for all their physical and emotional needs? 400 square feet 500 ft.² 1000 ft.²?

I would say 1209 sq ft is adequate. It's a complex formula combining feeding times, sleep habits, age, level of activity, muscle tone, length of coat, clawed or declawed, footprint of the home, number of rooms, number of bathrooms, climate, window count, window height from floor, wet or dry food preference, litter box style, and a few other critical items. Each is assigned a number, the total is squared and divided by the number of cats x average age + age and gender of owner (if gender has been decided at the time of the calculation).
