When I got Bill, I also got his two cats (littermates, about a year old). I've never been a cat person, but we seemed to reach a place of co-existence. When they had problems, I did research to figure out how to fix them. I don't think of them as my cats, but they made Bill happy so I did what I could to keep them healthy and content.

Now I am actively disliking them, due to their puking/shitting/underfoot issues, and we are getting to the point where I don't think Bill is liking them very much, either.

( Whine whine whine. )

Any brilliant insights or words of wisdom from you all?

Any advice for teaching cats to avoid being underfoot? Cil is getting worse and worse. He gets stepped on and screeches ALL THE TIME (seriously, it's a daily thing). He slips between and under your feet as you walk, sits behind your feet when you're standing, darts between your legs when you're going down stairs, deftly lashes his tail under your foot when you walk by... he gets scooted and stepped on very very often but he still does it.

It's not just food... he does do it more when he's hungry, but he also does it other times. It's not just for attention... he does it right after getting scritches and pets.

He bit me in the Achilles tendon the other day, and now it's inflamed. One -- or both -- of us is going to get badly hurt soon.

Have you dealt with this with your kitties? Please help!
