KiNgBrAdLeY7: I don't know if this is the trick for me, but i have my cat(s) be indoors mostly for sleep and company, yet the rest of the day prowl outside free. They do their needs outside and whenever inside, they are very timid, quiet, shy, etc. Little furballs though can be devils, sometimes. But they are so cute and adorable...
I would've had him outside, if I wasn't living in a flat on the third floor.
Maighstir: Taking a couple of the larger pieces and some hobby glue, and he's good as new again. A few bits had broken off, but he was mostly intact, save for a new haircut.
If they don't like your delivery, they may punch you, so that could be a punch line.
Tauto: Then,I'm up for a few punches in the head because none here comprehend/understand Aussie humor.
Cats don't understand any human humour as far as I know, they react on how you act, your delivery. :-P
Of course, if you deliver cat snacks, you get a new friend... at least until said snack is gone.
On that note, my cat is currently deathly afraid of me because I'm carrying around a spray bottle filled with water. He's gotten showers from it before.
