I have a one-and-a half year old cat. She has the run of a fairly large 2 story house. I work at home and do not live alone, so she does not go many periods of being alone.
To train her some I have used a water pistol, and made noise with a rolled up newspaper.This is to keep her off kitchen counters and from food. I have never struck her. Today is particularly sad. Last night as she sometimes does, she came up by my pillow and slept right with me. Sometimes she sleeps on my legs, rear area. This morning I was petting her and loving her, not overdoing it. Then just started to nip me, finally breaking skin, and biting fairly hard. I have several bloody places, athough there are not deep. When she was doing this I hollered, "No!", "No,!" (the usual reasonable command for discipline).
She will nip my father, who comes over fairly often; he has to be careful. Suggestions about what to do concerning my cat, Cleo, would be greatly appreciated.
