Dr. PepperSauce - Real Cat Counselor

Meowy September to You/// Welcome to my Web Page,

I am Dr. PepperSauce, an absolutely Wonderful Persian Cat. I am soooo smart! I have learned to use the computer. Late at night after everyone is sound asleep, I turn on the computer and write my web page. It helps me to get the magic animal message out that most all animals are really brilliant and have lots of knowledge we can teach the humans who are our friends.

I help my Mommy do her Web Pages. I sit at the computer and point to places I think need attention. I paw the screen when I see a mistake. Mommy Kay enjoys my comments when she is writing her Pet Counselor Advice Column. She asked me if I was interested in having my own Advice Column. She speaks Cat and several other languages you know. So I said (with a twinkle in my eye) "I think it is a meowvulus idea." Boy was she surprised when I showed her my already "Up and Running" Web Site!

I am black with golden eyes and meowveoulous white whiskers! I'm male, a feline with long fluffy hair. I'm a shiney-eyed Taurus. That oughtta give you a pretty clear picture of who I am! Now, cuddle down in a soft cushion and pay attention, here we go!

Dear PepperSauce,
Hello, my name is JC. I am a black male, short hair, domestic cat. I am 3 years old and my humans saved me from the RSPCA. Before that I was a street cat.

My current situation with my companion is:
A) She has moved twice in the past 18 months and I am marking all around the house and unfortunately upsetting her.

By the way, did I mention, I have been neutered!

The kitty litter is always clean and I'm explore outside, but I still like to find a mat or even clothes lying around to do my business on.

B) My human companion has some great furniture. Her partner even made me a wonderful, large scratching post, but I find human furniture much more fun to destroy///

What can I do to control them completely and become the Grand Controller of Humans and Home! Am I doin it right?
JC

PepperSauce Says: Dear JC,
Wow are you on a dangerous power trip. Didn't you learn anything from your times on the street and in the slammer? Are you nuts? You have a beautiful home with a family that wants to keep you and even makes scratching posts for you! Try to find that on the streets Kiddo!
And did I detect a bit of spite about being neutered? Hey, unless you use it, you don't need it! It only makes you cranky and loud. You need someone to teach you how to behave JC.

Print this out and take it to your wonderful human or you are likely to be mighty unpopular with the human types.

Hi Human Companion! You need to get that scary stuff, I think Mom calls it "Boundary" and when JC misbehaves, go get him, show him what he did and spray Boundary on the spot. Then go nuts! Yell at the mat or the clothes and hit them. This will make for an uncomfortable experience for old JC. You know, he isn't dumb, he just wants to control you and your home. He won't stop there either. If he gets away with it, he will want to control the world. He's a wild cat! Get him under control.
And as for the furniture! A spray bottle with water in it, right in his face every time he scratches the furniture.

Now I feel like Judas - But it was to save his hide, so I had to do it!
Hope you work things out JC. Good homes are at a premium sometimes and you have one. PepperSauce///

Dear Dr. PepperSauce,
I am insane! Yup I must be. I'm a rat and I'm asking a cat for advice! Oh Boy I've lost my mind.

Oh well, Think of me as a cat, OK? I live with a family who thought they would like a rat because some aunt said we were smart and fun. So, here I am. Only they are afraid of me. I can't even get out to exercise because they are scared I might bite or poop on them or my tail might touch them. It is soooo boring in this tiny glass cage. I want to be held and play and do things. It's so bad I'm even talking to a cat! HELP! I'm Trapped in a glass house.
RAT

Dr. PepperSauce Says:Dear RAT,
Yummm I mean Hmmmm!/// Just Kidding! You need teach this family how really nice rats are. We had a rat friend for years until he got old and died, but I actually made friends with him and we even slept together sometimes. Purrrrhaps you could interest your family into going to the zoo on a day when there was a program concerning the care and handling of rats. Also many class rooms have rats as pets. If your family could get to handle a rat and see that they are purrrfectly wonderful pets, clean, intelligent and very much fun, then they might be ready to socialize you. Be gentle with them and don't bite because if you do you will scare them. Maybe they could take you to someone who handles rats and have them get you ready to be out to play with your family.
Good Luck, PepperSauce///
