Heya, this is my first post here.. but here goes.
Anyways I have 2 cats, ones name is "spooky" and the other is "willow" we got them together and they are brothers.
We have had them for over a year. And willow is a real chill cat, no problems at all, hes friendly, lets you hold him, always friendly.
But spooky, ever since we have gotten him hes ALWAYS been afraid of me and sudden movement. Hes more friendly with my mom, but even if she was loud or something he would run and hide. Spooky barley lets me pet him, i have to crouch and get low so i dont seem so big, and make soothing sounds to get him to come to me.
Sometimes hell come to my room but hes ready to bolt if i even turn my chair to fast towards him.
We have never physically hurt the cats, im even kind of a whoose when it comes to punishing my dogs, i hate to smack em, but of course sometimes its needed to teach them. But the spooky has never been hurt by any one living in this household.
We did get these cats from other people when they were about 4 months oldish some where around there. Spooky had an eye infection, and both willow and spooky had flees. So we had to put eye drops in spookies eyes, and he was EXTREMELY afriad of us at first, we had to catch him, and hold him and put the eye drops in. but that was way back when we first got them.
Anyways, is there anything i can do to make spooky more friendly? it seems like its apart of his nature to be afraid of everything. Has anyone else had a cat like this?
