| #2 by M-Post Sat, July 15, 2006 7:36 PM Are you taking that kitty? It's amazingly cute.. (though I do love the darker ones).. If you do best keep good tabs on him!! Cats can be some of the best pets!! Just gotta learn they have their own personalities! |
| #5 by Tova7 Sat, July 15, 2006 7:52 PM [Tova7] So you actually got the cat? If so GOOD. What perfect company...and you can smuggle a cat into a hotel room with no worries about barking! |

| #9 by Locamama Sat, July 15, 2006 9:00 PM [Locamama] How cute. My son is allergic to cats so we can't have one. They are sweet though. |
| Actually this is the funny part, I'm allergic too. I have read that exposure therapy works so what the hell, I'll try it. |

Well while you're home benedryl works but that won't work while you're driving. How allergic are you? Sneezing, hives? I hear that if you wash them often it keeps their dander down which is actually what the allergy is to. |
| Yeah, he's my new truck buddy. |

| #19 by feisty_in_ohio Sun, July 16, 2006 10:00 AM A large pet store should have a harness that will adjust small enough. He won't like it at first - try to leave it on him till he settles down with it. It may take several "sessions" for him to get the hang of it. Buddy didn't like it at first - but he figured out it was the only way he would be allowed outside on the rope (we keep a close eye on him when hes' out). Now he knocks the harness on the floor and meows when he wants to go out! |
| #20 by little-whip Sun, July 16, 2006 10:37 AM [little-whip] Perhaps he's just discrete as I can't imagine a kitten going this long without needing to urinate. You'll need to show him a few times, put him in there and take his front paws and make scratching motions in the litter with them. It may take a while, especially if he was in a cage without a box and had to just pee wherever. usually, their mothers teach them how to use the box. You might also consider some way of screening off your cab to keep him in the back, unless your berth has a door already, i know some trucks do but ours just had a curtain. You don't want him getting under your gas/brake/clutch pedals at the wrong moment! If this isnt possible, invest in a strong squirt gun, put a single drop of ammonia in the water, and spray him whenever he climbs down there. The ammonia will smell like pee to him...and it's an effective training tool. Just make sure the solution is very weak or you'll hurt his eyes. |

My daughter is mildly allergic to pet dander. She's fine with our pets now, but when we first got them she had a couple of days of itching and sniffling.
Exposure therapy DOES work. I think that you'll find you're ok with Socrates, but you'll react to other animals.
He's adorable, Mason. Truly a cutie!
