LOL I mean...let's be honest, that's probably what it is. It's just a world's difference from the first time I got her when I had to check on her to be sure she was okay; I was so sure she wasn't going to be a talker! I'm very much welcoming her company and her compassion, as long as she...

I've already got her on a 7am and 7pm feeding schedule and I feel bad enough that she waits that long to eat, but I've been told that's normal. It used to be 8am and 8pm but boy did I get yelled at when I got home from work and she wasn't fed right away! I still have yet to find treats she likes...

I actually did recently buy a calming spray from a brand called Nature's Miracle because she just recently decided she liked to hang out in her crate ( I haven't been able to take her to the vet yet, it's been a struggle ). So I'll definitely try the spray maybe on her crate or on her perch...

Okay I'm sure this is a very common issue for most cat mom's/dad's. I've asked questions on here before about my special case cat. I don't believe she was raised around humans or with human interaction so any issue I may have with her is extra difficult. I've had her for almost 6 months and...

Furballsmom-- I initially bought a catnip spray but I've read that it's not as effective as actual physical catnip. So I'm going to buy some tomorrow and see if she'll crawl in. I also do use a Feliway diffuser in the living room where she mostly stays. I just don't think she's been socialized...

Hey all, I've been noticing some changes in my cats feeding habits and I'm in need of some advice. I've posted once before about her being very fearful and not very social so I know I need to take her to the vet but last time I tried, it was bloodshed. I'm going to work on trying to get her into...

Wow, you have a LOAD of patience to have to wait two years to finally be loved! But that's what these cats need is just that. Mine was in the shelter for a month while everyone walked by her and adopted the playful kittens first. There's love for all of them!!! Allowing your cat to make the...

Ooh, I'm definitely going to read into those. Thanks for sharing!

molly92, thanks for that link! I'm sure some of those tips will come in handy, although I don't keep her in the cage, some of the exercises can be tried out on her. And also thank you for your advice, I do take her traits as being far away from the aggression spectrum so I think these little...

Hi all, this is my first time having a cat of my own so I've been trying to learn as much as I can about them. My cat is one year old, adopted her from a local shelter as a "hidden treasure"; she's very fearful and initially chose not to socialize. She did not like being touched at the shelter...
