Yeah, my cats weren’t BAD. One is quite GOOD, the other is just NAUGHTY.
re: TP roll… raise the dispenser out of cat reach! Worked for me >^.^<
Ah! I have BAD CAT’s uncle!
UNCLE BAD was a sweetheart when I got him from the shelter. UNCLE BAD nuzzled and loved and snuggled and purred, purred, purred. UNCLE BAD has not stopped doing that. UNCLE BAD did, however, start running around like a lunatic when he wasn’t getting enough attention. Enough attention for UNCLE BAD is “all the cuddles all the time, and I will wake you up for more, and also you must never leave.” There is moaning and wailing and gnashing of teeth of UNCLE BAD whenever his precious Ninja must leave. It is especially bad when his precious Ninja leaves, comes back having forgotten something, and leaves again. UNCLE BAD gets very unhappy.
UNCLE BAD used to knock down cups, too. Precious Ninja had a bad habit of leaving half full cups of water next to the computer. UNCLE BAD destroyed three keyboards that way before Ninja finally lost her temper and poured the unspilled part of the water cup all over UNCLE BAD. It was the only thing that seemed to have an effect, so I did this three or so times. He has not done it for many years.
That may be partly due to LITTLE BAD. LITTLE BAD was born when a neighbor cat decided to make her kittens in our backyard. I picked LITTLE BAD from the litter when he was weaned so that I could get a companion for UNCLE BAD. LITTLE BAD was the most fearless of his siblings and fit in perfectly with UNCLE BAD. I was afraid UNCLE BAD would eat him, but UNCLE BAD loves him and raised him up to be a mighty hunter, a quiet fellow, and in most respects (LITTLE BAD’s only sin is inappropriate peeing and pooping, apart from that he is ANGEL CAT) not quite as bad as UNCLE BAD, who loathes anything on four legs that is not a boy cat and merely tolerates boy cats who are not LITTLE BAD.
So … it’s been a while. Whatever happened to Bad Cat?
(To all your Bad Cats.)
This is an old thread that was brought to my attention – dunno how I missed it at the time, probably because I was dealing with Bad Cats of my own – I’d like to resurrect it for a potential Threadspotting. But you tell me.

(Who has TWO Bad Cats – brother and sister. That were born in the ceiling of the DeKalb County Tax Office and were dropped down a wall and are alternately sweet and homicidally ferocious. They also hate each other and destroy stuff to get to/slap at one another all day long.)
What Ginsberg said in my sig should not apply to kittycats.
I think you are insane.
A Doper recommended this to me when my cat was all freaking out, and it was very effective. Noticed a difference almost immediately. He’s calmed down since, so we haven’t had to buy more yet, but I really do think this stuff works.
Is BAD CAT an outdoor cat? Maybe he’s stir-crazy.
ETA: Oh, sorry, didn’t realize this was Pet Semetary.
Sorry, I know this was posted a long time ago, but compressed air is very dangerous and you should never use it near or on any animal (or people)

Actually I would never have sprayed this directly at my cat. What I do is, when the cat jumps up on my desk, I reach for it. The cat leaves.
If the cat does not leave, then I find something that needs dusting. On my desk, there is always something that can use it. Printer, scanner, the little thingie that sits behind the computer and gets me on the internet. I do not spray the cat, I spray the thing that needs dusting. The cat leaves.
And next time, I’ll only have to reach for it again.
