So, to summarize, she is a domestic short hair blue broken mackerel tabby...with white. I think I will continue to tell people "grey tabby" when they ask what she is. Thanks for the answer.
Not countertops for me, but my dining room table and end tables. I'm sure that information in that article works for some, but with Abby, not so much. The only thing adhesive tape does is let me now she is on the table because I hear the sound of her paws sticking and unsticking. Using a spray...
Interesting. Abby tends to go psycho kitty under the best of circumstances, but this was a whole different level. I may give it a couple of days and try the tuna flavor again and see if I get a similar response. If so, I won't give it to her again. She has already broken enough of my belongings...
Sorry, I wasn't clear. This change of behaviour was after feeding her one meal of something different. She bolted the food down then went into crazy kitty mood and never came down, and that's what made me wonder. Tonight I fed her the "usual" and it has been a much more typical evening, with...
Because he really seems to like their "Paw Licking Chicken", I gave Abby some Weruva tuna (I forget the name of the other ingredient) yesterday. She ate it quite readily. No doubt it was a coincidence, but she was a psycho kitty for the rest of the night. Not that she isn’t anyway, but the...
When I was researching what to do about Abby I read that citrus smell is a deterrent. Abby is so determined that it didn't seem to help, but your kitty might turn back. Hope so.
I don't have a helpful answer, just a sympathetic one. Abby showed no interest initially, but one day began the door dashing and I haven't been able to curb it since. While the situation isn't as dire as yours because I am in a second floor apartment and so she only makes it into the hallway, it...
It is night time now so the light isn't as good, so here is a picture of when first got her that is on her side.
And here is her back, taken this evening:
And her side now - whoa has she gained weight since I got her - hmm.
So I know Abby is a sliver-grey tabby, but that's her colouring, not her breed (or is tabby considered a breed?). Is there anything about her "look" that suggests a particular breed? It is likely she is a mix of things but I am curious to know if more knowledgeable people here see anything...
