My Trouble Making, Thing Breaking Cats

I have 3 great, loving and beautiful.
Misha- age 10
Tashy- age 1 1/2
Otis- age 1

i trully love them all to death... but... THEY ARE DESTROYING EVERYTHING.
ok i let it out...
so i exagerate... they're not that bad, but they just keep breaking my things.
there not bored cause they have a kitty cat toy store at home, but they jump and play all over the place... when i'm there they try to be good and careful, but everytime i get home something is broken, knocked down, spilled, out of place or just isn't there anymore.

the last thing they broke was my $500 digital cam (it was a gift so i'm not loosing much) the thing that really got me upset was that all my xmas and new years pics were erased by the almost 5 foot drop.

what does your cat do??
or am i surrounded by loonies???
it would make me feel better is someone says that their cat crashed the car... hehe kidding

 

You think that's bad, wait until you have three children running around the house!

 

i guess i'll have to hide everything, glue things to the table and nail things to the floor...
or maybe i can put them in one of those hamster ball thingis... that should be safe enough...

 

get yourself a safe and keep all those expensive things like digi cameras and what not in there......that way not only can the cats not get to any of it but if someone should ever break into your home while you are away, they wont get any of it either.

my cat is super laid back (he's just too cool) and he is 3 years old. even when he was under a year and i wouldnt allow him outdoors yet, he was pretty calm and not as playful as some of the other kittens ive known. it was like play was "beneath" him...and he is still this way. if i try to play with him with a toy mouse or something he just calmly gives me this long look like " i know thats a fake mouse, don't insult my intelligence."

 

Try a water bottle. Don't let them up on things unless your okay with letting them get up on the couch/bed kinda thing. My cat's aren't allowed on the table, the counters, the fridge, my stove or my desk. They stay off these things now. I trained them mostly by their name being said in a commanding tone. I look them dirrectly in the eye. If they do it a second time I squirt them while saying their name in that same tone. They associate the spray (which usually hiss' and they don't like hissing sounds) and the commanding tone. Eventually they will know they are doing something wrong with just their name and after a while, won't even go in those areas. You have to show your pet who owns who or they will own your place.

 

my cat's are respectful, and obey when i call their names out. they run away with their bodies close to the ground. and when i get home an find something broken i yell WHO DID THIS? and whoever runs away is the guilty one. we understand eachother well... but their like kids, tell them not to take a cookie but what happens when you turn you're back?

well... yesterday i found a broken glass candle holder on the floor... but i know who it was, because Otis was the only one missing in action at the time.

lucky that none of them got hurt, i checked them carfuly to make sure they didnt have glass in their paws.

i love my little "angels"
