ha ha he has climbed my leg a few times ! I have to laugh but it hurts like hell !

So reallt they are just like us then ? do all baby teethj fall out & they grow adult teeth ? I dont remember that with Marley ?

brilliant idea. Hope you and the yukka survive. All those years ago (nearly 16, sigh) Swampcat lost all his baby teeth in OH's arm. He liked doing wheelies, biting hard on his arm while being wheeled around - so wouldn't worry about the clothes horse hurting him badly. Climbing the yukka's better than climbing visitors' legs.....

edit: depends on the visitor

I got some of them large pebbles to cover the soil in the Yucca.. they look quite nice so am quite nice ! Leo has now resorted to climbing it !!!! He's so cheeky
He is biting everything plastic at the moment.. even the metal clothes airer (???) this freaked me out as his teeth are so little & I don't want him to hurt himself.. it must be horrible to bite somthing like that !

I knew that was gonna be next

If he is destroying your plant then i suggest moving it to another room/out of his way

re: the biting.....dont worry as he is only doing what is natural for him, sometimes you may notice some blood on the gums or teeth and this is normal too....if your lucky enough you may even find a little tooth sticking in somewhere (i found one in the bottom of a door) when the new teeth are coming through

I'm just grateful when it's not my hand that's being used for chewing!

Will he still be teething at 13 weeks ? his teeth are so little !

A kitten will have their adult teeth by approx 7 months old

Gizmo uses one of my large outside plants in a tub both as a toilet and scratching post - young Ellie was watching with interest so I don't think the plant will last too much longer !

lisa77 · « **Reply #13 on:** September 26, 2007, 16:58:08 PM »

ahh hence all the chewing then !

Dawn F · « **Reply #12 on:** September 26, 2007, 16:26:16 PM »

the big teeth on mine came through at about 5 months, at one stage Tilly had two canine teeth on each side which looked pretty scary!

Also a very good idea ! Thank you.. went to the garden centre & found some large pebbles so they will do the trick I think.. I do have some of the smaller glass ones but im scared as he is so young & chewing everything at mo (including shoes !) he may swallow one..

I went through a phase of using the glass nugget things they sell to cover the soil in my plant pots. Looked quite pretty.

ha ha they are funny little terrors arnt they !!

I tried small shingle type stuff to cover the soil in my plants a few years ago, until Max developed a new game of skooting it all over the floor .... I guess it looked too much like his old cat littler, which he also skoots all over the floor

lisa77 · « **Reply #7 on:** September 26, 2007, 13:32:24 PM »

mmm im going to go shopping in a mo to the garden centres..Like the big stone idea !

Going to see if they do cat grass ready grown for him at the garden centre too.

Thanks allot

Try covering the soil with either medium sized stones or old pot pourri (sp?)

Sabrina (Auferstehen) · « **Reply #5 on:** September 26, 2007, 12:57:05 PM »

Learned last year that house plants are nice but mud tracked over the carpet isn't

Is there another place you can put the plant? Out of Leo's way?

Or you might try some of that boundary stuff that you spray on things to keep cats away from? It only works though if Leo's nose works, Lirael's doesn't so she ignores the stuff.

JackSpratt · « **Reply #4 on:** September 26, 2007, 12:55:05 PM »

Have you tried covering the soil with something? Maybe he'll be less interested then.

lisa77 · « **Reply #3 on:** September 26, 2007, 12:28:08 PM »

Anyone else got any tips ? Shall I dump the plant ?

I Know Yuccas don't harm cats but Im worried the soil will make him ill ? He may eat it while im out ?

Thanks

Aw, the force is strong in this one

He's already learning that yes means yes, and that no, well, means yes as well

Leo has taken to jumping in my pot for the huge Yucca plant I have. He keeps trying to play with & munch the mud out of it.. will this harm him ? Ive tried the water spray, firmly say NO & bring him away.. It didnt deter him what so ever & jumps straight back in it ! (4 times) Do you think he thinks im a soft touch ? Everything I tell him not to do he does.. once I tell him off he does it all the more! Its like he is too clever for me ! Any tips ?

I woke up at 7 again this morning to his loud purr on my pillow..
