Anyone have a good cat de-whining method?
Nope. Keep 'em happy, less whining usually. Unless it’s due to pain or illness.
Make all the snow melt. That will be the only cure around here.
Ditto, senility often comes with whining but I am assuming this is a younger animal.

Lucky Isabella Danger is willing to forgo pets from boys for a while to initiate some cats into her running program. That’ll stop the whining for awhile or at least include a Doppler Effect.

We have a cat who whines/howls/yelps. It’s always attributable to the impending ejection of a hairball (like Kevin’s post) or to the presence of a pipe cleaner, in which case she’s begging for someone to play fetch with. Actually, she really doesn’t fetch any more, it’s more “throw the pipe cleaner, I’ll run after it and bat it once or twice, then whine till you come over here and pick it up and throw it again.”
He’s definitely a senior cat, but I don’t think senility has begun. What’s frustrating is that I have no idea what he wants - he can have fresh everything and still go on demanding. If I ignore him, he’ll go scratch the furniture right outside my office door.
have you tried playing tag with him?
Laser pointer is his sport, rather than tag, but this isn’t what he does when he wants that.
get him something to torture then…
We got our two cats a puppy
they love baiting the poor thing
Have you tried bathing him? I think you’ll find that might solve the problem.
an’ if it doesn’t fix 'im…it will at least distract 'im for a bit! ![]()
Yup, it’s good until they can lick themselves dry. Possibly a bit more if they need a nap after.
You may want to take a thorough look at your dedication to “total” ongoing servitude.
YOU… if there’s a lack of absolute worship… may be the problem.

See your Vet for actual conclusions.

Ah, the old ‘any town too small to support one lawyer is more than big enough for two’ gambit!

Shhhh! He hasn’t been owned by his cat very long . . . it’s best to slip this concept in gradually!
A boot out the front door should do the trick. ![]()

Adding a little something extra to the boot makes the job easier. ![]()
