Ok, so it is him being afraid. That's the first step, I guess. Now, is there something in particular that makes him afraid? someone moving too fast, new people in the house, something like that? You see him running and hiding, but what from?
my cat does this as well, but not to that degree. It's usually her being playful, even in the middle of the night which is seriously creepy!
I agree with the previous post, to reassure your cat that everything is alright. Perhaps your cat is afraid of something and when he goes near it he does...
hmmm...i have the same problem, hestia likes mats...and possibly the coach, but i hope not.
there is another thread on here which deals with this, the 'inappropriate peeing" thread. I am going to print it off for all of the wonderful advice...
if your cat is cleared of a UTI, then perhaps is...
well, i have more news on this issue.
Last night she started up again, about 2 am this time, by licking my fingers for me to get up. I took her to the bathroom, gave her some lovin', and sprayed vinegar on the door like usual. She pawed the door twice in the night until we finally had to get...
oh, thank you so much everyone!!
we do let her sit in the window behind the screen all the time and she really likes that; however, she is desperate to get outside at any chance that the door opens. I have tried sitting with her out on the deck but she still jumps on the railings. We put...
Are these American or Canadian stores?? They don't sound familiar...either that, or I really haven't been around town!
(I will still look for them in the area for my little beast...)
omg, we have the same problem. My boyfriend has a green thumb and i warned him to put the plants in a higher spot so that hestia couldn't get to them, but less than three months later there wasn't a healthy plant in the entire apartment. We've cut it down to one strong fern which is in front of...
HAHA!!! we call her "the beast"! hilarious!!
i will definitely look into it, i have a free weekend and i think i'll get some much-needed cat toys like that. thanks!
ok, i feel really bad about this one.
when we first got Hestia, her adoption papers said that she was used to going out on balconies, so we were happy with that given the fact that we had two of them.
However, upon letting her outdoors, we realized that there was a slight twist to this: she...
hmmmm...perhaps i could get some of that and put it on the most obvious cords that she goes after, instead of all of them! that way, it would last longer!
thanks!
my old cat used to do that too. To her, that spot under the recliner was her secret spot. When we were children, she always needed a safe hiding spot from us meddling kids, and the recliner was it! It was just dark, quiet, and private for her...i guess she felt safe from us hooligans!
Perhaps...
ahhh!! wonderful!! thanks so much!!
oh yes, it's a miracle that she hasn't electrocuted herself by now. I mean, it's been about a year and 4 months since we've had her and she's chewed through nearly every cord in this house...WHILE it was plugged in!! even my computer cord, twice! i mean...
ok...when i adopted my baby from the SPCA, she came with some issues...in the file, it said that she chewed cords. I didn't think much of it until two days later we found that my boyfriend's soundsystem cords were chewed to bits and unsalvagable.
After that, we quickly tried everything to get...
I agree, i am having the same problems. i referred to that other thread and found a lot of helpful hints, thanks so much for keeping that!!
whew, i thought that i was all alone on this issue! i mean, hestia would pee on the bath mat, towels on the floor, the ottoman, and now i'm beginning to...
yes, i know that...that's why we tried to get her tired out during the day. the problem there though is that i am a full-time student with a serious part-time job and my boyfriend works full-time as well. she sleeps all way while we are gone and then when we get home she wants our attention...
hi there! i have a bit of problem with my cat, hestia. We've had her for a little over a year now and she still does the same thing: in the middle of the night, she'll come around to wake us up as if to say "ok, i'm up!! let's get up!" She'll usually come to me and do this because i don't move...
