OK to bury cat droppings?

... "Spider" wrote "Bob Hobden" wrote ((BIG SNIP)) Part of the problem is breeders that allow non-pedigree kittens to be sold/given away before they are 12 weeks old. The organisation in charge of Pedigree Cats insists they have to be. By that time the mother will have house trained them and taught them to use a tray and it will stay with them for life as it has all our pedigree cats. Perhaps you could start a petition for a new law on that topic. 12 weeks minimum before they leave their mother. Actually, Bob, 12 weeks is too long. It is a well known fact that kittens who are over 12 weeks old before being homed with a human family are less likely to bond with people and adapt to training. This would make them less controllable, not more. Eight weeks is quite good enough if they've been reared responsibly. The pedigree cats have to be 12 weeks old before they are sold and I can't say ours ever had problems getting us retrained to their preferences. -- Regards Bob Hobden W.of London. UK :~)) Oh, I'm sure they're very happy with the arrangement! However, RG doesn't like cats but tolerates them provided they're trained not to jump up on tables, in the kitchen, on the furniture, up the stairs *anywhere*. Training an 8wk old cat is infinitely easier than training an 12wk old cat; I know, I've tried it. I had real trouble with my 12wk older cat until I tried 'growl speak' with her. Oh boy, did she toe the line then! :~) Spider |
