I know there are some pretty intractable animal behavior problems (if they pee on your bed, that is not as easily fixed), but you can't take a pet into your home and expect them not to affect your lifestyle at all. Most of the time these things can be worked out. I often look back to when our cat was a kitten (we were just married and 22 and 23 years old) and feel really bad--we tended to get frustrated with her and yell at her when she would bite or otherwise misbehave. We have since gotten a lot more patient and learned that not only is this type of behavior mean and frightening to the cat, but it doesn't do any good. Now if she bites or scratches we just make her get off our laps immediately, or if we are trimming claws and she tries it we say "no" but remain calm. It works a lot better for all of us. :) I love your “questions for those with opposable thumbs.” I know there are some pretty intractable animal behavior problems (if they pee on your bed, that is not as easily fixed), but you can’t take a pet into your home and expect them not to affect your lifestyle at all.
