Anyway, I have discovered a very effective way to train cats. It is called a squirt gun. When they do something that you don't like, such as climb the curtains, get up on the counter, claw the furniture, you say NO and fire away. They hate it and will stop whatever they are doing immediately. It also is great fun. After awhile the NO is sufficient because they associate it with the water. Happy hunting! karen alias larryg
