Hi , I am not sure if this is the right forum. I lost my 20 year old
cat back in November. I am thinking about adopting another elderly kitty to hopefully be a companion for my 16 year old cat. My daughter found a cat she likes at the local humane society but when I went and sat with the cat in a visitation rooms she let me pet her for about 30 seconds then tried to scratch me every time I tried to touch her. She is 13 and has been in there since January. The director said when Tiger came in she was rated a 41 which is a high number but she has been in there so long she is becoming agressive. Although I have older kids, I don't want a cat that swats at everybody. I asked the director if I could try Tiger out for two weeks and she said I could and she would give me my full refund if I had problems with Tiger. I like helping the eldery cats out that most people don't want to adopt but once I take on a pet it becomes my problem and I am worried I won't take it back.
I am wondering if any of you have seen cats become agressive after being in a cage for a long time and if so do they come back around to being a sweet cat. The fact that Tiger has been around so long at the humane society makes me think she must have been sweet before.
