I do use the Corporate cuddling method of punishment however my baby does not yet yodel. I will need to step it up a bit. Would explain why it doesn't always work...I will increase the level of CC slowly to ensure we don't get medieval on their fur. :) I aboslutely love this!!!

Is it possible George has taken up documentary filming and is masquerading as an engineer?! My husband, a computer geek by trade [close enough to an engineer for me!] has very determined ideas about cat discipline. I will say, he has trained the cat (most of the time) to come to a bell, stay off the fence and in the yard (I promise, cat is only outside when we are home and/or outside.) I am the training problem. Husband frowns on cat cuddlling as discipline, but I do it in secret when cat is on the kitchen table and I know husband is coming. I quickly scoop cat off the table and snuggle him and kiss him till he squirms (he is amazingly tolerant). Husband calls me 'the succubus' when I am making my sneaky moves towards cat when they are reclining on the sofa together...a dad and his adoring cat...I have to annoy BOTH of them!! This is truly a gem of a catumentary. If there were Feline Film Awards, this would be a winner. Hey, speaking engineer looks a lot like George Clooney!

My husband always hates it when I make one of our cats yodel, but now I can tell him it's just part of corporal cuddling. Kudos to Paul, T.J., Oscar, Ginger and Zoey! Absolutely hilarious!

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who uses 'corporal cuddling' as a method of feline discipline. Now, thanks to this video, I have an official name for it. Loved the cat yodeling. Fantastic!

Finally, someone else who understands corporal cuddling and its effectiveness! Sadly, my menagerie hasn't progressed to yodelling :-( but one can always hope - if sufficiently protected with steel sheeting. I can’t get enough of this video - are you going to do more?

She also "beans" maening that when it's time for human-assisted grooming (baths, nail clipping, furminating, etc) she curls up into the shape of a kidney bean and tries to find her happy place. Her brother however couldn't care less about pretty much anything and seems to like the squeeze cuddles. My cat Melody does the “cuddling as punishment” makes me laugh until my fiance makes me stop.
