Hi everyone, I just recently adopted a cat "Peg" from a friend. Just to give her backstory, my coworker found her on the street last November and took her home. For months, all the city shelters were full and couldn't take her. So she ended up watching Peg for almost a year.
My friend never wanted to be a cat owner, but she felt too guilty to give this cat up to a random stranger on craigslist. She heard a rumor that my boyfriend and I were looking to adopt a cat, and asked me out of nowhere asking me to take Peg (or else some creepy stranger would).
We regularly babysit another cat, Khajit (my cousin's), and I think she just set the cat standard extremely high for us. Khajit is sweet and quiet, and loves a good belly rub. She only wants to sleep, cuddle and eat.
Peg is affectionate, but very demanding and aggressive. She shows no signs of slowing down, even though she's almost 2 years old. She meows constantly for attention, but if I pet her the wrong way she bites me (not hard, of course). I hate how this sounds, but I sometimes think of her as the "accident" child.
Is there a way to train a cat to calm down? Or is she just a bad fit for me?
