Sometimes this is nice, like when they are scratching or doing something bad. But others not so nice like when the cats get backed into a corner and Joli doesn't understand why they aren't going to their room. lol. And she is teaching Somi this bad behavior. I need to figure out how to only let the good behaviors rub off. LOL.  ... |
Same with Brody...
if he hears...
or sees...whatever he wishes to 'enforce'...and then Mia starts barking, too. Mia will also start the barking, but usually it's not cat related...she kissy-faces them until I rescue them from drowning...but maybe a blade of grass swaying in a breeze, maybe a shadow...maybe a neighbor 1/2 mile away closing a car door...
Soooo...when you do figure out how to only let [get ?] the good behaviors to rub off, please post the information...or at least, PM me!!!
