Karin C asked in PetsCats · 1 decade ago

My cats all disappear when I get the Advantage tubes out...?

...How on earth do they know I'm going to be putting it on them? I swear they must be able to read minds, because no matter how careful I am to try to conceal what I'm going to do, when I get the tubes of Advantage out they run and hide.

Does anyone else have cats that seem to be able to mind-read and know when you're going to put flea stuff on them? Any ideas how to keep them from running and hiding all over the house?

    While I don't need to medicate my cats, I know they can even hear my thought processes. I only have to think of going into the kitchen the next thing most of them are already there.

    I can make vet appointments on-line. I swear then can understand the clicks of the typing to know it is on a vet site.

    As far as corralling them, it all has to do with closing off hiding areas. When my oldest cat has to go to the vet for her check up, I close off the kitchen. Then, if I am able to find her downstairs, the upstairs gets closed off. She has no where to hide. Sure, it becomes a chase, but she seems to understand she is 'doomed'!
