24. so true

It can totally upend your world if they pull something like this.

You should give him the business over this; it might mean something. I've changed my cat's behavior a couple times. For whatever reason, Oliver is very obedient. If I tell him something is not ok, he listens and he changes his behavior.

Once I caught him going off the property and I chased him back home. I was yelling at him all the way down the road. Since then he has stayed on the property. My house is on a private road, so he has a large area he can roam around with no cars. When I got him home I scolded him and he knew I was upset.

Then he started bringing his "kills" into the house. I took away his door for 24 hours and he figured out he can't bring moles and the like into the house.

So hey, try it. It's probably too late now, though. You have to do it close to the time of their "error." I am sure you were so relieved to see him that you couldn't even think of teaching any lessons.
