    Cat acting cold and distant.

    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...

    My new addition to the family isn't working out...

    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...

    Cat is grumpy and reclusive when I'm gone

    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...

She's a very sweet girl. She's a little hot-tempered but not violent. She's a very curious cat. She will...

    Orange tabby turned feral

    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...

    My kitten doesn't want to cuddle anymore

    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...
