Godfrey said that they didn't know about the pointer or the pointing. I only disagreed with the first part. They know what the pointer is, the same as they know what a squirt gun is, after the first time of course.

Mine know what the squirt gun is, but one of them has built up virtual immunity to it over long exposure.
I don't even use it on her that often. She only gets it if she gets on the kitchen counter, and I hate to spray her, so I typically shoot it into the sink first to scare her off, and that works maybe 90% of the time, but if she decides she really wants to be up there, she hunkers down when the first spray hits the sink, and then no amount* of actually spraying her will make her move, so I have to physically pick her up and dump her on the floor.
* - OK, I haven't actually verified that there is literally no amount of spraying that will make her move. I've never hit her more than three or four times before resorting to abusing my size advantage to settle the question of who gets to sit on what. I'm not going to torture soak the poor cat.

The one I was using was an electric .45 squirt pistol (Colt M1945 Longslide) and my roommate's cat quickly learned the sound of its motor. I didn't even need to keep it loaded - the sound was enough.

We had a cat who was part Maine Coon Cat. He liked water. The biggest problem with him was that if you weren't paying attention to where the cat was when you turned on the kitchen tap, you might suddenly find a big furry mass standing under the faucet, in the water stream.

guys, I have been gone a while, so some of the schei&e I might post could already have made the rounds... humor me, if you would be so kind... I don't have the chops to go back dozens of pages to be sure... even the smilies are a challenge right now... I just really missed how it feels to be here

iruk, you can post whatever your little heart desires -- random smiles, cats for days, skulls we've seen a hundred times -- and it will be nothing but the greatest pleasure for us.
Having said that, blue-eyed paint ponies are always welcome.
