I have bought many brooms over the years in an attempt to keep ONE of them in the kitchen. Charlie is always carrying the kitchen one off to sweep the hearth, the basement, the porch….
So this one day I said, in obvious exasperation, “Do you know where my broom is?”
To which he replied:
Why?–you going somewhere?
And yet he lives.

August 15, 2018 at 5:15pmHe SWEPT something? Don’t discourage that type of nesting behavior; and when, on rare occasions, he brings the broom back, give him a kiss and a treat and make a big fuss. Positive reinforcement is much more powerful than negative for modifying behavior.
