Dear Canadians,
There is a common tool readily at hand for dealing with recalcitrant kitties. Use it.

If she gives the cats that much power, she should just lie down and die and let them eat her.

Why not throw away the box, or a least put it in storage?

I had the same problem with my cat, Mr. Whiskers. After careful consideration I decided to let him have the box. It just wasn’t worth the risk of me getting cut.

(And no, I didn’t get rid of Mr. Whiskers. Last year he sliced up a burglar pretty good.)

These owners are as uncreative as Simon of Simon’s Cat fame (YouTube hand-drawn cartoons). You have three cats. They are indoors. You have rooms with closeable doors. Cats need to eat, sleep, and use the litter box. Put food and litter box in room with closeable door. When cats use either, close the door. Food will eventually win.

Why not throw away the box, or a least put it in storage?The blender is still inside.
I get this story. It is like having to get up and out of bed, but knowing it will disturb the boss, so toughing things way too long.
To: Dr. Sivana
You haven’t tried herding cats. They will use the sand box and eat in shifts, and when one goes in, one escapes. They know how to escape. They know it well.

My daughter brought two cats into the house. When I want them to go elsewhere, a spray bottle full of water will convince them to go.

My cats mind when I tell them to leave a room or to stop doing something. I hope these people are never responsible for children.

I have been around cats all my life, and have two right now. You have to deal with them one at a time, but it can be done.

Cat and boxes is a strange thing.
I've seen big cats (lions, tigers) in zoos playing with refrigerator boxes like house cats in shoe boxes. It's the darndest thing.

Go feed the cats in another room. Take the box.

Guys, when women tell you about a problem they dont want an answer. They want you to affirm and support their emotion with attention.
When people on social media tell you about a problem they dont want an answer. They want you to support their fame and finances.
