How much force does it take for one to dent his drywall when jumping too high on his bed? I am about 175 or 180 kg., plan to be traveling at the usual bed-jumping-off speeds, have the typical drywayll installed as far as I am aware of, and have a very springy bed which I can get great height on whenever I jump on it.
I have hit my head several times on the ceiling which is approximately 2.5 m high whenever I jump on my bed, and I am just worried about denting the ceiling...
Ooops...I converted kg. to lbs. so that most people here would understand what I mean...out of habit, I put "kg." at the end of my weight!
I mean 175 to 180 POUNDS...sorry! :) v807 replied: "wow...........there's this place called Pump it up with lots of trampolines and jumpy things u should go.... o wait i think its for 10 and under.........lol"
oldmoose2 replied: "Less than it takes to dent your head. Of course if you weigh that much and like to jump on your bed, I'd be worried more about those on the floor below you than the ceiling above. 180KG = about 400 pounds."
Joshua P replied: "I wouldn't worry about it. You'll likely injure your head and neck before you you dent the drywall."
Au$ replied: "So are you done with placing your underpants on a flag pole?"
Josh M replied: "to other answerers of this question:
to joshuaP, no, drywall is only half an inch thick and easily broken being made of 2 layers of paper and a easy to crumble gypsm substance, it is the supporting studs behind it that prevent it from taking damage when you lightly bump it.
my answer:
depending on how tall you are, and the height of the bed, this is only a lucky guess. if i were you, i would stick with the flag pole, furby killing, and bedsheet hang gliding, but it's your choice. i think it is very possible to do so with little damage to yourself, but you will have to be very percise on where you hit the ceiling to ensure you do not hit any of the joists in the ceiling (boards going across to support floor/ceiling above you) plus you would want to monitor how high you jump so your head doesn't hit the floor/roof above and you dont get a mouth full of fiberglass insulation when you go through the drywall." Is this a good descriptive paragraph about jumping o_o? Adrenaline rushes through my ears as the beat of my heart pound loudly in my brain. My legs kinetically bend and potentially straighten out as I jump up and down my bed. Jumping is just so much fun and rids of my worries.. ♱AnnA♱ replied: "Well, you have a bit of a typo in the first sentence. Should be pounds, with an s. When you say "My legs kinetically bend and potentially straighten out," kinetically and potentially probably aren't the best words to use here. They're not going to create a picture, or invoke emotions in your reader. It sounds like you're "telling" opposed to "showing." Your first sentence does a good job of that, of showing. It creates more of a mental image. You can place yourself in the narrator's position. You can feel it. The only thing I would change is the very end. I might add something like " the beat of my heart pounds loudly, crashing its way through my skull into the fragile soul housed within." But that's just my style, and if you had my exact style, I wouldn't be able to criticize your work now would I? ;) All in all, you're on the right track. Just keep working with it." What can I do with a dumbo rat that attacks outside his cage? He has been a problem ever since he was purchased from Pets At Home. He would never accept any cage mates, even though he was introduced gradually to them. He is 18 months old and we have tried every thing to calm him down.He always snaps at any hand put into his cage. He is allowed some freedom and will return to his cage at night.
Last night he was out in my room on my bed, he ran across the bed, jumped up and bit my cheek. He ran away to his cage, ate and went to sleep. The bite drew blood and hurt quite a bit.
What can I do to stop this behavior?
Would castration be of any benefit?
Is euthanasia the only answer for a rat that attacks without provocation?
Serious answers only please.
Pets at Home is a large chain of pet stores in the UK and we have had him from six weeks old. takoyaki replied: "what is pets at home? is it a shelter or a pet shop? the reason might be that the rat might have been mishandled before. if it is from a shelter, there is a definite possibility that is used to be mishandled. the same can also go to the pet shop.
new animals should be slowly introduced to the household as patiently as possible. since its still new, dont ever put your hand in the cage... it might have been regarding the cage as its own territory and will try to eliminate any third parties.
of course, it has to warm up to its owners first before introducing any other rats. your rat will think that the other companions are merely trespassing on its territory and will do the same to your hands.
castration is unnecessary, unless recommended by a vet. to stop this problem, physical contact is not quite useful.
it must recognise that you are its owner and master. your rat is trying to be dominant over the whole household. sorry but im not to sure about taming its dominance... ask a pets trainer, maybe they know something.
sorry if im not that helpful... ^-^;;"
kutoja1987 replied: "Neutering might help - probably will. It worked with my girls - Fudge (the dominant) picked on Smokey for quite a while, but stopped almost immediately after they were both spayed. If it worked on females, it will most likely work on males. A few weeks after the neuter, you could try slowly introducing him to another fixed rat - slowly is the keyword here.
Edited to add: It might also be a mental disorder of some kind - if he was bred only for his ears, the breeder he came from (quite likely a "backyard breeder") probably didn't care if his parents were biters, aggressive, or mentally ill."
power_ranger replied: "That certainly isn't "normal" rat behaviour. Has he been checked by a vet? I'm not positive, but I think there may be illnesses rats get that affect their behaviour.
If he's actually attacking you, you better let him live on his own for a while, to relieve added stress. Occasionally rats don't feel the need to accept other rats, but in these instances, a solitary rat is usually very affectionate with people, so I don't know why he bites you like that.
It's great that you allow him to roam around, but I would keep him caged or handled under your supervisoin until he adapts a bit more to you. When letting him out, only allow him to leave if you pick him up very quickly, and then right down. Don't grab him, make sure this is as pleasent for him as possible. And wear gloves if you have to. Through this, he will learn that you are a part of his freedom (which I assume he enjoys) and to explore, he only has to tolerate a little handling. I suspect change will come very slowly, but do increase the amount of time you spend handling him gradually.
Food is a huge help. Even with nippy rats, I always give out food from the palm of my hand. Some people suggest this encourages the rat to bite, but this will be rare if he doesn't smell food right away, and will never be hard. I feel doing this by hand increases the interaction between you and the rat. And with a solitary rat, you really want to keep it as socialized as possible. They are highly social instinctively, and allowing one to go without anyone at all will have psychological affects.
Also try entering his cage while minding the environment. Be sure that the lighting, background noise, even temperature is comfortable for him. Talk softly, and offer a treat. Do this once or twice a day. Eventually he WILL get used to you doing that. Give treats everytime he improves.
Castration would only help if his behaviour is caused by hormones. Talk to a vet first, and ask about alternative causes.
I deffinately would not go into euthanasia just yet.
Good luck!"
elmy replied: "im not shure but i think you should buy him his own cage and by him his own baby rat friend"
Kinder/1st grade teacher replied: "Neuter him if at all possible. He might be a total victim of his hormones. It could make a world of difference to his temperament. If he gets neutered and still acts vicious then you may just have a bad one. They are rare, but they do exist. If you do decide to humanely euthanize, make sure that your vet knows how to do it kindly (forget the injection into the heart without making them unconscious first. It's just mean!) Good luck to you and the unhappy/aggressive little guy!" What is the first thing that your cat does when he enters your room? mine either meows for me to pick him up and pet him
AND
as soon as he enters, he runs to my bed, jumps and jumps again to my window =)
*When HE/SHE enters Circuits replied: "Meows, then he will flop to his side and then just lie on his back until I pet him. If I don't pet him, he'll just come closer to me until I notice him. :)"
Area Woman replied: "Both my cats sidle in, tails aloft, and rub their cheeks and entire flanks on the doorway. "My room. My room." Then, they stroll in about two or three feet, sit down and blink at me. "You worship me, don't you? Yes. I thought so." Sometimes, if I am sitting and I pat my lap, one of them launches into my lap."
Alicia B replied: "well i have seven cats,, one just recently had 5 babies so now thier are exactly 12 cats living in my house hold,,,( o and i cant forget,, i have 2 guinea pigs) ,,,,,,, the first thing that my cats usually do is stop and lick themselfs run to me or sniff sumething"
sepharina_gaia replied: "She meows and then jumps on the bed or couch or gets right undermy feet."
Kim K replied: "My cat, Tika, sleeps with me. And if I'm sitting in my room reading, she jumps up next to me to be scratched between her shoulders."
djwmcginty replied: "my cat will meow and roll over so that i can rub his belly!"
HANNAH DURAN replied: "My old cat (Chelsea), would meow and then purr and run between my legs. I miss her. When I was crying, she'd know and she would run towards me and run around me.. in circles, as if.. trying to comfort me. She would leap in my bed and sleep with me. My grandma, seems to miss her.. too, as she would always sleep on the bed (she sometimes stops over), with her and keep her feet warm. She was a little persian, with bright orange eyes. My friends, would laugh at her, because.. she had a flat face, like persian cats do. LOL! But.. yeah, she was one in a million.
I now have a new cat, Charlie. He is a little monkey! He will meow and then maybe.. scratch one of the surfaces, to get my attention. When I'm trying to get to sleep.. at night, he will watch my feet move and try and pounce on them and some nights, he will come up to me.. for a few minutes, before leaping off, to explore my room. At the minute, he likes picking up my tiger teddy.. in his mouth and running out of the door.. with it. I could not stop laughing, as the teddy, was about as big.. as he is. He is half persian, so.. probably has more energy, then my old cat. He turns one.. SOON!
He doesn't seem to like family, that don't live in the house, he tends to shy away. I've also trained him, to do the paw trick, to show my stepdad, that cats are not dumb. He loves chicken, to a point.. where, if you gave him some, he will go pining to the fridge, so.. you have to be careful! He will sometimes, allow me to cuddle him, for a while. He seems to purr.. a lot. Whenever, I come near him or if he knows, I'm there, he will purr and you can hear it.. from a mile away! It is SO cute. He also, likes to look out the window or watch the raindrops fall, on the glass and sometimes, he likes to watch my rabbit, running about outside. He likes to follow me, all the time. Sorry.. for the long answer. I love cats! :D"
2bzy replied: "The first thing our Dulci would do (she died last summer) when she came in my room was hold her tail up high and make it sort of wiggle all the way up. She would look up at me, blink, and make a little questioning "chirp?" sound. Of course, then I would tell her how adorable she was, and she would rub all over my legs and throw herself down with a rather feminine sounding grunt to have her side scratched. I miss her." Why has my older dog started acting out? My dog's 8 years old and recently every time we go out she's started peeing on the carpet, scratching at door frames, and chewing on furniture. Also everynight after all the lights are off in the house, she starts panting and getting skiddish and won't go to sleep (she sleeps on my bed). She'll jump on and off the bed, jump on me, and refuses to go to sleep. She's been doing this for two weeks now and the vet doesn't have an explanation. Anyone have any ideas why she's doing this, and how to stop it? Jean B replied: "Take your dog to a really good veternarian; it sounds like a medical problem more than anything else. The dog has an anxiousness that isprobably caused by an internal problem causing a lot of pain.
it may be cancer so please take this dog to a doctor immediately."
shorty replied: "Well i would try and bring in another dog. Thats what my dog did and so we got another dog and now they sleep like rocks,literly -_-. But if that doesn't work then let me know and i will help u as much as possible!! (And what i mean about get another dog is ask someone in your family if there dog can stay at your house 4 awhile and see what happeneds)"
iluvtorofl replied: "Use a crate.
It sounds like she is anxious." whats the best way to calm a hyper min pin at night time? she jumps into my bed, jumps and chew on my pillows and blankets and even my fingers! jobeyblj replied: "Just use a crate then the dog will grow to love it and will be happy you gave it to him/she i did it to my jackrusselle and she is no longer hyper at night"
thejanith replied: "Talk to your vet about chamomile drops to help a hyper pet relax. I don't know the dosage for a min-pin; they're pretty tiny, so you really need to get the dosage from a vet.
Plan a walk for the evening so you and your poochlet come back tuckered out about half an hour before bed. For a big dog 30-40 min is good, but for such a little one, I'd say 10-15 minutes of trying to keep up with you should suffice. It's best if you can try the exercise route before you put your dog on meds, though, even herbal ones."
Arizona Chick replied: "its not just your kind of dog that does this. Most dogs that are hyper active are that way cause they want more of your attention and they need to be walked more as well. Try taking your dog for a long walk before dinner or even after. It will be good for the both of you at night. If this don't work try looking at what you feed her. Maybe you can adjust what she eats to give her less energy at night time. Like her treats they can make her way to hyper cause of what is in it. So cut down on the treats if need be. You have to look at all that you do with her. Like do you hold her more then let her walk, to many treats from you and others, lack of walking the energy out of her so you can sleep at night when she wants to play. You can also do this on the weekends if you see her sleeping wake her up and play with her a it so she will get tired later when you want her to. I hope this helps a bit"
vixen_with_velocity replied: "Crate training. My parents also have two min pins, and let me tell you, they are hellions to clip nails, clean ears, and express anal glands!!! ahahahha... Any who, I would get a small kennel or airline crate and slowly introduce it to it. Show it to them, let them sniff it etc. If they dont get attatched to it quickly, you want to reward them everytime they go in or half way in it. Continue this unitll they will sit or lay in it without a lot of anxiety. This will evenually become their little haven if you will. They will sleep in here because they will feel safe. Also, before you put them to bed, excersize them!!! Tons!!! walk them or play catch or take them to a dog park around dusk. You want to tire them out. That is also a good time to start the crate trainging becaues they will link it to being worn out and tired and will get used to sleeping in it. Just keep up the same rutine and they your min pin should be sleeping in no time!!"
Yogi replied: "The Miniature Pinscher is NOT a hyper dog but is in fact an very energetic breed. It requires a great deal of exercise and if it does not get it the consequences are what you see. Crate training is not difficult. Place a piece of your clothing in it. This helps the dog believe you are still near. Feed the dog it's meals in the crate. This gives the dog a belief that the crate is a good place. Give a treat when putting to bed. Pins are treat oriented. Keeping in mind that based on what you are stating this is most likely a puppy which also explains the behavior. A walk is not sufficient to wear off pent up energy in a Min Pin. They require a securely fenced yard to run and need this daily. If it is not provided they can be destructive to your home and furnishings.
Hyper Active implies a medical condition and far too many people cannot seem to grasp the difference between and highly energetic breed of dog from one that suffers from hyper activity. The Pin was created to ferret out and kill mice and rats and are will generally act on this regularly. They need to be given the space to wear off energy that is part of this breeds makeup." HELP!!! my teacup yorkie ran off my bed!? My teacup yorkie literally RAN OFF my bed, jumped, & then kept running. He realized what he did and then he cried for a second & kept running as if nothing happened..i was CRYING hysterically & i'm really scared that he might've hurt himself bc I KNOW he could've possibly broken a bone or something. he seems to run and walk fine but i'm paranoid since i always hear teacups are very fragile. Am i being paranoid? its my 1st puppy, i've had him for 3weeks and he's only 2months old. Please help =( lilkrausie replied: "He is probably fine when they say that the dog is fragile they are just saying that it isnt a dog to go rock climbing with!!!"
Xavier M replied: "if he's not showing signs of damage, don't worry.
just keep an eye on him and how he walks"

My Golden Jewel <3 replied: "There is No such thing as a Teacup Dog. You fell into a scam, from a shameful Back Yard Breeder. Be prepared for many health problems in the future!
He could have hurt himself. Be more careful."
Emmalyz replied: ""Teacups" ARE fragile because they are poorly bred dogs! They aren't healthily sized, so their bones are too weak.
You must be careful. Extreme "teacup" dogs will run up the vet bills in no time."
tjordal37 replied: "Nice to see someone who cares so much about there pet! Just keep close eye on him to see if he gets limp, stiff, or swelling anywhere. He probably scared himself as much as he did you! Take care and calm down...your a good mommy."

vet. vet. vet."
caninelover replied: "He probably heard you call him a teacup and ran...there is no such thing as a teacup Yorkie. Yes, you have every right to be concerned at this point. He could have very easily broken something or injurred his knee--Yorkies are very prone to that. You should have him examined by a vet ASAP to make sure that he is OK. Also, if he's so small that he could hurt himself by jumping off the bed (or couch or chair or whatever) then you shouldn't have had him up there in the first place." A queston for all you cat lovers? is it right that my kitten shoild be allowed to sleep in my bed jump all over my couch and jump all over my bath as my partner lets her do.
or am i being to selfish.
thanks P*Kitty replied: "yes you should let it"

msnite1969 replied: "LOVE ME, LOVE MY CAT!"
GlassFaerie replied: "That is completely a personal preference. Just remember, cats are very VERY difficult to train, so whatever you let her do now she will do for the rest of her life. It will be easier to deter her from this behavior while she is a kitten. Good luck!"
pharfly1 replied: "Yes She's just being social! Be thankful for that! As she gets older she may become more independnet and not want to spend anytime with you! You have to remeber that she's just left her mom and siblings and they use to play, cuddle and sleep together. Now she has people cats to do all that with!"
stevewbcanada replied: "You can attempt to train a kitten, but it's usually futile. Cats tend to do what they want, when they want. Remember, dogs have owners but cats have staff."
terrieann43 replied: "You may have to work out a compromise with your partner about the bed. You'll probably just have to keep the door closed. I don't know what you're going to do about the couch, but you should be able to shut the door to the bathroom and not have the kitten in there while you bathe. I am a serious cat lover, but not everyone is and that's all right. You should have some say in where the cat goes. You should also realize that your partner has some say in it too and the cat can't be locked in a cage all day. It's going to be around the house. The two of you need to work out an acceptable compromise."
sexy shell replied: "it will be fine! try spraying water on it when its climbing tings"
Red Mary replied: "If you are not comfortable with your kitten jumping on the couch or bath, it is quite easy to stop them, just keep shouting NO in a loud voice every time they try it, they will soon get the message."
Lola replied: "There is nothing wrong with letting her sleep in your bed or jump on the couch. I would keep her off the table and counter tops though. Kittens need lots of love and attention so they will grow up to be well adjusted cats. So stop being selfish and learn to love her. After all, it is your kitten, right? She should be getting her love from you, too."

Stinkymouse replied: "You could suggest to the kitten that it may wish to do things differently but remember You never own a cat .. it just lets you share it's space and feed it for the privilege.!!!!"
Kym replied: "Yes this is fine, and even if you try to stop this from happening you will not succeed as a cat does what a cat wants to do.
All my cats sleep in my bed, jump all over the couch and get in the bath tub. There is nothing I can do to stop them, so I let them be and we are all very happy.
I have 3 cats so they rule the roost here.
Good Luck."
dot replied: "your being over controlling of your cat, remember its now your kittens house too but the only exceptions are no kitty on the counter and if ur kitty starts peeing on stuff dont allow them on that spot untill seen by a vet."

purpletia2000 replied: "If your not happy with it then stop it now!! It gets a lot harder to stop these things as they get older.

c.j.davies replied: "You are jealous because you sleep in the same bed as your partner and jumps in the bath with your partner. Yes your partner should allow it, stop being selfish. I wouldn't like to know what you will be like when you have kids - and the partner pays attentiion to the child - will you be jealous then?"
beverley boogles replied: "yes there is no harm in it you should treat your animals as part of the family as that is what they are for to be loved"
Mine of information replied: "I let my cat in the bed, but he's not allowed on the couch/worktops etc. Its not being selfish if you dont want the kitten jumping everywhere, when it jumps up, put it down and it will soon learn its not allowed. Alternatively, use a pet repellant furniture spray to stop it jumping up."
