Thank you so much. I hadn't thought about letting her help out with them. She has been better today and yesterday. Thanks for posting.

Yes, her father and I went many rounds before we decided to split...we were never violent but, unfortunately, she was witness to a few verbal fights...it's better now but, she does seem to carry a lot of anger...BTW...keeping cats and her seperated is working good...I let them out for a couple...

Well, what we are going to do is keep the cats in our bedroom wich also has a bathroom connected and only let them out when she is in bed. We will do this untill we find out what the problem may be. We are a blended family and her dad is kind of an idiot...maybe there is some anger coming from...

OMG...How awful you must all think I am, going on about the cats and not a word about what my daughter might be experiencing. It was just recomended to me, like last week, to have her evaluated by a psychiatrist for ADHD and anxiety...I have made a couple calls and am waiting to hear from them...

I have a 9-year-old daughter and I have tried everything to get her to be nice to our cats. I have punished and yelled and scolded and taken privelages away and spanked...nothing works. She will squeeze them, pull tails, and choke hold them. It is breaking my heart but it looks like the only...

I'm not sure if this will help but, here in Tennessee we have a place called ValueVet...great vet care very affordable...not sure if they are a chain but, maybe you have something like that near you...check your yellow pages...and good luck!

One reason I ask about this...yesterday, I had my ceiling fan on in the bedroom and Kitty got on my bed , rolled over on his back, spread his back legs open, and went to sleep, lol...wondered if maybe he was hot, poor thing.Thanks for the info, everybody!

I got such great help on my last question so, I have decided to post another question. Now that summer is here in Tennessee, I am concerned about the hot weather. It's known to hit 100 or more degrees here. Being covered with fur, I would think my cats feel the heat more than I do...so if I am...

Yes, I have photos but, could not figure out how to post them. Tried but, nothing worked. Any help on this appreciated.

Gotta go with the gentle rain...cleansing, cooling, refreshing...all that stuff.

Try tuna...never saw a cat yet that would turn down tuna!

Oh yes...Kitty is very very tolerant of having his claws trimmed. His previous owner had been trimming them since he was small. Need to get Claw started on this so as he gets older, he is equally as tolerant. I'm so glad I found this site! hee hee

We have an orange tabby kitten and your pictures are a great preview of what he will look like when he grows up! Your kids are beautiful!

My Kitty was doing the same thing with Claw, the kitten. I posted on here and have been assured it is normal behavior. My worry was that Claw is so much smaller than Kitty but, I never see bite marks or scratch marks. I am assuming that Kitty is indeed just letting Claw know who was here first...

He doesn't make a lot of crying but, he does cry. Could this be that Kitty just has him pinned? Don't mean to be obsessing...just want to learn.
