Her eating, drinking and litter box habits are fine. I have wondered if it could be a health problem.

I adopted Elsie about 5 months ago and she's been generally good thus far. Suddenly she has become cold and distant toward me and my family for the past few days. She's four years old and acts like she may have been abused before. Every time she's held she acts really angry and scared. She...

Thanks for the replies everyone, and sorry for the late response. I am giving Elsie another chance. She seems to be slowly warming up. She mostly just can't seem to get used to our small dog, Dakota. I don't know why, because she saw dogs all the time in the shelter. She actually meowed ad Twila...

Elsie is not warming up at all to the other animals. I think she used to be an only cat, which is why she can't seem to get used to them. I'm also just now finding out that girl cats tend to be competitive and territorial with each other, and Elsie lives with my other cat, Twila. Both are...

I work three days a week for 5 hours right now because I'm in a university program for career training. My sister tells be that Elsie becomes reclusive and grumpy when I leave. She also takes her anger out on different things. I take this as meaning she misses me, or is afraid of being...

Thanks everyone :) Her favorite things to do are head boop, get head and booty rubs, get high on catnip and smell herbs, lol. We have rosemary in the kitchen and she was hopping onto the counters just to smell it! It calms her. I'm doing that tape trick though, so she doesn't do that again. I...

My cat, Elsie, was just adopted by me last weekend. I already posted one thread about her but I have another question. She seems to be very sensitive to sound. I understand that cats naturally have sensitive hearing anyway, but sudden sounds startle her all the time. Should I be concerned about...

Thanks everyone. She's slowly warming up but still prefers not to be picked up. I admire her for how tolerant she is when someone does pick her up though. She's not violent toward us at all. She's mostly warming up to me, thank goodness. I have been wanting a cat of my own, that I can actually...

Yesterday I adopted a beautiful gray tabby, 4 years old, spayed, up to date on rabies vaccination. I named her Elsie because I didn't think the name the shelter gave her was fitting for her. She's a very sweet girl. She's a little hot-tempered but not violent. She's a very curious cat. She will...

Simba is about 2 years old. He lived with us from birth to about a year and a half.  I'm not sure, I will check into that. Thanks for the suggestion :) My sister said that a reason he could be acting like this is due to jealousy. He could have been jealous of his siblings or something. Is this...

I used to have 6 cats, now I only have 5. The 6th one, Simba, ran away. He is neutered. His mother was semi-feral, if that's possible, but we made sure the kittens were more used to being handled by humans. We go weeks at a time without seeing Simba, but today I saw him outside having a standoff...

I have a 7 1/2 month old kitten named Rosie (believe it or not...he's a boy! Long story short we didn't know until it was too late lol) and I love him to pieces. He used to cuddle with me like there was no tomorrow. But lately he doesn't want much to do with me :( He wasn't feral when I took...
