Train a cat not to be underfoot?
I was always just a dog person and felt that cats were out to kill me by sending me flying down a flight of stairs. Then I got a kitten and of course fell in love with feline attributes, but now that she is 7 months she is really underfoot much too much. I and my elderly father can't afford to fall, much less down steps. Has anyone ever trained a cat to stay clear? I trained her to not bite and scratch us when I first got her (lots of sharp nos), and later to ring some bells on the door to be let in (I rang them each time I let her in). Both took only about 2 days. I just don't think yelling no is clearly related to being underfoot.
