One time I was in bed, when suddenly the smelliest cat butthole a foot away from my face just straight up assaulted my nose.

Now I'm so thankful whenever I hear that slep slep slep in the middle of the night, and I can sleep peacefully without dreaming of any cat buttholes.

I've trained my cat to clean his backside off the bed. He'll wash himself until he gets to that bit and then jumps off the bed and continues.

I find a cat washing himself very relaxing somehow.

Urgh, i had a girlfriend with an old basset type dog who would neurotically lick his paw until it was red and raw on top. So at night, slurp... slurp... slurp... slurp... slurp...

I'm sure I'll get canceled for this, but I broke my dog of this habit by just smacking her whenever she started. Nothing that would hurt or cause a bruise, but if she's doing that (or humping a pillow, or any other stuff like that) I'd give her a light smack and she'd stop. She also has her own pillow that she's allowed to suckle when she gets overstimulated, so she has some outlet, just one I approve of. After a few months she mostly stopped with the neurotic licking.

Pretty sure you can do the same by just like, poking them or shoving them a bit. The point is just to interrupt the behaviour and eventually their habit should break.

Big of you to admit to abusing your dog

[-] Aesthesiaphilia@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Here we go

I mean ,you said it was coming, you recognized the behavior as neurotic, and still opted for the smacking solution. Did you talk to your vet about ways to reduce boredom before that happened? Or about redirection training?

I saw this without chastising, but all you're really reinforcing is to not do it when you're around, OR you've reinforced a negative set of hormones being released when they feel like licking their paw. The behavior you're trying to stop is the licking, but the behavior you probably need to stop is the underlying reason for the licking. Find more things to entertain the dog during the day, or reinforce a new behavior to replace the old one. That way, when they go to do the paw licking, a different behavior will be vying for the top braincell and whichever one feels better or floods the dog with the most positive emotion will win out. Let it be fun for the dog, not fearful.

"I was a dick and scared/bullied my animal into not doing something! Works like a charm!"

Same shit as spanking. Yeah I know the animal wasn't permanently physically harmed, but you have taught it to fear you with the threat of physical violence... sure it can be effective, but is that what you want to impart on the world? Meh. You know what else is effective? Training your dog properly.

I should also note that grooming is a self-soothing behavior that makes your dog feel better. Imagine being smacked every time you took some deep breaths etc. If having an animal annoys you, maybe you shouldn't have the animal you are not equipped to deal with.

I had great success with construction/shooting range ear muffs. Great for noisy hotels, also.

[-] youthinkyouknowme@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

I've got used to it, but my wife once got actually mad and couldn't sleep because of it hahahah

[-] AphoticDev@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

Listen, real talk. Doesn't matter how you identify, you're just jealous because you can't also lick your own genitals.

[-] squiblet@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

It's overrated.

Da hell? My cat licking itself while sitting on me while i try to fall asleep is the most soothing thing ever

[-] Dicska@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah, because your pet is a cat. I bet you never had a betta fish before.

[-] squiblet@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

A cat grooming is generally low key and reserved. A dog licking is slurpo, slurp, slurp, scklacky slurp, slurp...

[-] TechDiver@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

Ok, that makes sense

[-] I_Miss_Daniel@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Here in Australia I think it's known as glopping.
