Hi there!
Me and my partner have rescued a cat from our local rescue centre today, and I thought I would ask you guys a few questions.
Our cat is only 2 years old, and is a tabby/white female. She was named Mindy at the rescue centre, but she really doesnt look like a Mindy! If we called her something different, will she still respond? IE when we let her out in a few weeks time, if we call her, will she come back in?
Also, she is very playful and affectionate, however she seems to spend all her time up stairs in the landing. We have put her bed there now being as she likes spending her time there, but just wondered if this is normal for rescue cats? and will she ever come down without me intising (sp?) her down the stairs with tuna?!
Also we have noticed that when my partner Alex strokes her, she gets her claws out really big but dont when I stroke her. Could she be picking up that Alex is scared of stroking her?
Any help/advice is much appreciated!
