HI ,im a first time cat owner and fairly new the site and i love it.Very informative,interesting and helpful.Just wanted to share my story.
I got chloe,female tabby,now 6 months old on mothers day,she was on her way to the shelter.I was instantly smitten.she ahd never been
to the vet.shes now had her innoculations and also recently had her spayed.she didnt react well to the anaesthetic,so I was taking her
back every 2nd day
,I thought she was going to die.I stayed home for a week and hand fed her, on her time.she has now gotten used to
the hand feeding.My mistake,I was so worried I couldnt help myself.Because now when she's upset or angry with me,will only eat,if hand fed. so Iv spoilt her.
She is totally unique,loves milk,demands it whenever I have coffee.Iv tried to cut down but she gets quite cold and I cant bear it,so I cave in.
It doesnt seem to affect her stomach.She loves raw winglets,cheese,liver and her kibble but hates kitten food in a tin,tries to cover it up,
like its her poo.
She keeps me laughing and entertained because she does the cutest things.I work long hours ,so I thought Id get her a playmate,company for her,a forever home for kitty from the shelter and I wont feel bad about leaving her alone for long hours.So
I adopted a short haired, 4 month old male kitten.He is a timid ,lovable,tiny,for his age or so I thought.
Got him home,had everything set up in a seperate room, but chloe got very aggressive,first time and he cried non stop everytime i left him
alone.so I put them both in the same room but seperate.
My sweet angel,CHLOE, became a real scary cat.i was actually scared of her,first time and he made the strangest sounds,stopped
eating,playing,coming to me,refused to be petted ,didnt even sleep on the bed,like she normally does.I thought Id made the biggest mistake
ever,my sweet angel was angry and miserable.I was so upset with myself but I couldnt send Cole back to the shelter,He already had a special place in my heart.I took a few days of work , again.
I asked for advice,monitored,cajoled,hand fed favorite treats,stayed up all night,gave extra cuddles even if unwanted(,By Chloe,).
kept the hierachy when it came to feeding and lo and behold,less than 24 hours later,Chloe is not hissing anymore,tearing through the house,playing,I woke up to find them both asleep next to me,both refuse to sleep on their beds(which is very plush,better than mine).
iv set up 3 litter boxes for them,but cole even wants to use chloegs box while she's in,it..Chloe is still a bit out of sorts.she makes this sound when shes eating,sounds like ggrrrrum,num,grrum,its strange and funny.
i know all is going to be well and iv made the right decision,Iv been lucky that my love and pesistence has paid off,
Im so happy and overwhelmed with love for these little ones that it brings me to tears.
hope i dont sound crazy to u all.but Im sure you all understand were im coming from.thanx for reading this far.
