How QuietWhiskers is making a difference for Cats
QuietWhiskers.com was created with one goal in mind: Help cats. I have heard so many people make the claim that cats are "difficult", "jerks", or are otherwise "too hard to understand". There's the problem though: You're not understanding.
How do you feel when you're desperately trying to communicate something to someone you live with, but they don't seem to see things from YOUR point of view? It is SO frustrating to have to explain it over and over again. So why keep at it? Your cat does this, but you don't realize it.
QuietWhiskers is trying to help people to understand their cats so that they can find a solution for their cat's problem behavior--whatever it may be. I want to teach you to speak cat, so YOU can be a cat expert, too.
You don't have to live like this. I worked in tech support a couple of times in my life, and believe me when I say I have repeated myself until I have been blue in the face saying it "I understand your frustration". We as tech support agents DO understand your frustration. We've been there. As the crazy cat lady, I have also been there.
I didn't become the crazy cat lady overnight. I learned to deal with my cats through several years of trial and error with many different cats. Cats are SO much like children: They have accidents, they eat things they shouldn't, they break things, they talk back... They are cats. They, like humans, have needs that we need to learn to understand so we can communicate better with them.
In customer service you are taught to Listen, Acknowledge, Apologize, Correct it, Thank, and Repeat. You need to listen to what your cat is telling you. YES, he IS telling you something when he shreds the couch or pisses the carpet. You need to speak cat so you can EFFECTIVELY resolve the conflict with your COMMUNICATION skills. Communication is a HUGE part in ALL relationships, and if you aren't LISTENING and you aren't COMMUNICATING, you WONT see any change. You simply wont.
With that all being said, I am working day and night to teach you what your cat needs, how to speak cat, and how to PEACEFULLY and HUMANELY coexist with your cat. It IS possible to live with your cat without declawing him, throwing him onto the streets, or into the shelter. Your cat is your family, and he deserves just as much loyalty as any other family member.
My goal? Fix "PEOPLE" problems with cats until every cat is in a loving home where they are safe and understood. If I can fix just one problem that guarantees ONE LESS CAT will be thrown into a shelter and abandoned, then I have MORE than accomplished my goal. Until all the cats have a home <3
How can you help me in my mission? Share helpful posts of mine. Like my posts. Comment on my posts. Donate to causes. EDUCATE your friends and family. Raise awareness. LOVE your own cats. Be good to them, and each other.
As always, thank you for reading.

I will send you a picture of them, will actually take a picture of them, the latest for you. My cat is called It'sme, he adopted us 2 years ago on New Years Eve, it was a cold snowy night, he was tapping on the patio door. That is why we called him this name. He is a Perthshire Fold. The dogs, the eldest is 4, her name is Lindyloo, she is a cross Lab/retriever, the youngest is 2, he is a cross lab/englishsetter he is mad, but I roar laughing at him. His name is Ord. Sherrie
Aww that's cute. Felix picked me, too. He followed me home one one of my walks and when I tried to leave him, he was RIGHT there on my AC looking in the windows, getting rained on... I felt terrible and let him in. He's mine now. My little talker :3
You are so welcome, I love my pets, I have 2 dogs and a cat, and the 3 of them get on well together, they plat, and cuddle up to each other. Sherrie
Took a look at your site and also left a comment.
I love cats and would never ever think of something like declawing them. It should be illegal, period.
if someone is to concerned about their furniture or children, than just don't get a cat, simple.
Never will understand those people who are doing such barbaric thing to a living creature.
Sylvia
Thanks, Sylvia! I still cannot wrap my head around how a person can declaw a cat, but let a dog keep his teeth when they chew up shoes! That would make a lot of women mad, to include me--I've had plenty of dogs! That's why I prefer cats ;]
Hi nice meeting you, your blog is great, I just have 1 cat, yes he is like a child and you need to listen and understand. Success to you. Sherrie
Hi, Sherrie! I have five fur kids, and they are more like children than anything I have ever known. I know first hand the childish antics they participate in... It usually wakes me up! Oh well. They are enjoying themselves and are happy and healthy, so what more could I ask? Thanks for reading! It means so much to me :]

My approach with all animals not just cats is this (and I have never been attacked by an animal) here goes the advice/approach
JUST BE NICE!
They sense it if you are a nice person. Be gentle with them, with cats, and dogs, just give them a stroke where they like it, usually down the side of the chin for cats and maybe a little bit behind the ear for dogs.
Never approach a strange dog and raise your hand to stroke the top of its head, dogs (if they see u as a stranger) will think you are attacking them - they snap at you in self defence.
I always see it as a challenge to myself to get a "vicious" dog such as that by crouching down, back slightly towards the dog, friendly voice saying hello there and avoid too much eye contact, smile! I think it helps. Within a minutes, maybe longer depending on how nervous the dog is - I beckon the dog continuing with the friendly voice (and peaceful thoughts - they might read my mind - lol - their instinct might kick in to attack before they are attacked - again it's self defence.
I want the dog to come to me, not the other way around - that is attack mode. Then I open my hand as if to offer some food. 99% of the time after about 10 seconds the dog is being patted and stroked and is wagging his tail in appreciation of finding a friendly human friend.
The other 1% of the time? Oh I can explain that, that only happens when I have to dash off, I can't stop too long I am on my way to somewhere - Why I wanna spend 15 minutes of my precious time on a moody dog just to get a stroke and a tail wag? If he's a decent enough dog he will see (sense) that I am a decent human. Which brings me back to my first point...
JUST BE NICE!
Couldn't have said it better myself!
