It’s questionable whether you should try this at home on that little rat that might be living in your house… today at lunch I got a new trick to play on the favorite kittie of your choice, firstly the tricks that I already knew.
1.) Put a sock on its head. It’s completely predictable. They back up. And then they back up some more. When they hit something they reel up, turn, and keep backing up. Then they back up until they hit something else, etc, etc, ad nauseum.
2.) Put some scotch tape on the pad of its foot. It’ll kick and kick with every step. If you put tape on more than one foot it just kinda lies there convulsing.
3.) Hold your beloved kitty close and start spinning until you’re dizzy. If the kitty throws up that might be gross so wear old clothing. When you’re good and dizzy, put kitty down and watch it spread all 4 legs as far as possible trying to maintain balance. When it starts walking it’ll most likely run into a chair or a wall and then it will hate you until you feed it next.
and the new one I got from my co-worker Angelique today over Malaysian food but haven’t gotten to try…
4.) Tie a sock around its waist at the base of the belly where it meets the hind legs. Apparently kitty just flops around somehow unable to feel its legs or control them or whatever. I’ll give it a shot one of these days when a kitty acts up. (Note: Upon reading this Angelique says to gently/lightly tie the sock. It doesn’t have to restrict, only touch.)
Of course remember to feed your kitty after all of this so they’ll be your best friend again as long as you have food.
