kitty cuffs

 

buy a dog...

 

The cat was my WIFE’s idea not mine haha

 

Convert to outdoor cat (fixed, etc…)

 

I tie around my little devil cat all the time. I only remove the materials I need and keep the rest tucked away… a sacrificial bucktail usually keeps him busy, but he’s known to steal the odd rhea feather that I have to chase him down for..

definitely tuck it all away when not being used. I’ve busted him many times trying to steal a polar bear patch

 

So many cats, so few recipes.

 

Our Cat ,a stray , was taught very early not to jump on any table counter etc, by spraying with a water bottle . He's never jumped on my very untidy tying desk .
He just saunters in ,looks around and walks back out .

 

I’ve read that the water bottle trick just basically makes them hate you 😂 but it sounds like it worked for your cat. I’m also interested if the tin foil thing works too

 

I don't think the water bottle spray made him hate us .He was a wild very independent individual when we first got him ,but has become quite affectionate and friendly .

 

My dog smells the grouse and starts vibrating everytime I tie.

 

I have a Bengal cat and I had to work with her and let her now the boundaries. She was not allowed in the room for awhile and now she loves to hang out with me and stays off of my bench. One thing that worked for me is have an area to play feathers included and make sure it’s not the tying room. I built a perch that she jumps up on and watches me tying and she enjoys that.

 

I have a cat and she has only stolen some feathers…maybe once or twice. It seems like she doesn’t really care that I tie.

I do store all of my materials in rubber maid containers, so maybe the lack of smells is less tempting for the cat? Who knows though.

 

I just go into my tying room and close the door.

 

Same.
But then my cat just sits and paws at the door incessantly for about 20 minutes.

 

Best thing I did after the cat was get a roll top desk. I leave, I close it. Everything outside the desk is in lockable containers. The day that moron chewed on my dyed orange pheasant rump patch was the day he almost met his maker.
