Hi everyone. My wife and I were walking home in Philadelphia when a little cat came right up to us, rubbed our legs and wanted petting. She was cute but we see strays all the time in the city so we kept walking. This cat followed us for 3 blocks and walked right through the front door! She was hungry and very friendly.
Long story short: we have our first pet. We took her to the vet for shots, fleas, deworming. We still need to get her spayed. Perfect litterbox usage everytime, one week in our house and no accidents!
This site has been so helpful with trying to understand sray/feral tendencies and we have given her space and patience. There was one major biting incident were she playfully nipped me and I stood up and yelled NO! She came after me and bit my leg hard, then hissed, moaned and looked ready to attack again. That was 2 days ago and shes been relativley sweet since the incident. Now everything is back to normal except I'm a little nervous about her now so here are my questions:
1. Will she be less nippy/ territorial after she gets spayed? She blocks my path and nips and claws (not really painfull) when I walk by. She doesn't do this to my wife so much.
2. Will wearing the cone collar (for the stitches) after spaying make her vicious?
Thanks for anyone who read this long post and is willing to answer my questions.
