We had the same problem with Bella she is one year old now. We have two cats 18 and 19 years. They are two old to want to play with her. We use a water bottle and it works very well. Bella know when we hold up the water bottle and say leave the kitty alone shes pick up her toys and looks at you like I wasnt going to touch her anyway, it also works when she bark to much which is not often but we pick up the bottle and say quite . You only have to use the spray a few times and they get the message like You mean I cant bother the kitty why didnt you say so. lol Hope that helps |
