Bummer that your Kitty had to suffer cancer. That sucks.
Since
you asked, here ya' go Goochie.
We have a talker & I can offer
you some 1st hand info. on living with a "vocal" cat.
That rat fucker pisses me off when he comes in at 3- in the morning like
a drunken sailor. MEOW HEY FUCKERS!!! MEEEEOOOOWWWW ANYBODY UP?? MEOW WHO
WANTS TO PET ME?!? MEOOOOOWWWW... Bastard.
What we've
done is ignore him during the evening when we're in bed. Like I said,
he used to come in & use his outside voice inside early in the A.M.
I started keeping a squirt bottle with water in it next to my bed.
When he would come in & yell I'd squirt him with it. I
wouldn't say anything, make any noise, I just squirted him.
He got smart after a while & found where to stand & yell so I
couldn't zap him.
Eventually, he has learned that when he
comes in night & starts raising hell he gets either squirted, a
"chancla&q
uot; tossed at him, or just ignored.
Here's a nice bit of info. on the subject. Good luck with your
kitty. Very cool that you rescued him & his buddy. Way to go Gooch!!
