What a little stunner he is gorgeous

Thanks for all the compliments! Unfortunately he knows how adorable he is, so he's basically got us wrapped around all four of his paws.

Yes gskinner123, I put it up not long after I came home with them and it seems great, I've not trimmed the velcro yet and not trialled it with the door open (too cold!! brr!) but it seems to withstand me pressing against it. The guy that makes them, Dominic, showed me some of his window Flat Cats that have been scaled by his cats when they were younger so it should be able to handle your kittens! I'm really chuffed with them to be honest, it's taken a huge weight off my mind for the summer and Dom is still honouring his 50% off for users of the pet forums if you ask.

I've got indoor cats and would never dare to leave a door open with them around. Luckily on both the front and back we have a porch, so we can shut ourselves in there before opening the door to the outside.

I'd never heard of flat cats, so I just googled them. They look great, but unfortunately I live in a Victorian house with sash windows and can't see how they'd work on them.

Hiya, when I got my boy Kerry he was the same. He would growl at Gratch and bully her away from her food and at OH if he got too close. I was very suprised as I hadn't seen this before and was indignant on Gratch's behalf (OH can fend for himself) and started lifting his food when he was being bad and putting it back down when he settled. He quickly learned some manners.

Jansheff, it might be worth contacting Dom, he may have some advice for you with the sash windows, my windows are a bit old fashioned and he was able to advise me on how to modify them slightly so I could fit the flat cats.

Thanks for the advise Gratch, he actually tends to growl more if we're preparing it on the top (i.e. cutting up large lumps) than when he's eating it but I've been petting and talking to him while he eats and he doesn't seem as fussed, although it's only really over certain yummy foods!

hi i have a male kitten which is 7 months old i also have his sister, but he is scared of every thing, the only time he comes over to me is when i show him food or a piece of meat, but his sister is fine she all ways comes up to me and she all ways loves to play, but even when i go to pick him up or walk over to him he throws him self to the floor and plays dead, im just worried that he wont get use to human interaction, the thing about both of them is that they were both Feral cats.

I know this probably won't be much help but I just thought I'd post this as it might put your mind at ease a bit. I have a kitten who is around 8 months now and he displayed the same behaviour. I do have other cats, but he would growl and hiss at things when there was no one near him e.g. he is fed apart from the rest as he is on kitten food. As soon as I made a noise checking on him he would growl, or he would growl at random things - toys, shadows etc.

This is changing slowly but surely and he only seems to growl now when I feed him a treat when we have had our dinner.

I was worried about it at first as I thought he was going to become an aggressive cat but he is growing out of it!

I'm going to be ordering mine tonight!! I have been searching for a solution to stop Reggie from trying to jump from our bedroom window onto our conservatory roof when the weather gets nicer and I want the windows open. He has a habit of doing exactly what I don't want him to!

Thanks for the recommendation Furrball, they look brilliant!

You're very welcome! I'm trying out the patio cover today as the weather is so lovely, my kitty initially was rather confused and kept trying to jump through it and scaled it once but quickly settled down to watch the birds in the garden! Very happy with my flat cat things!
