Our new Kitty
We adopted a kitty about a month ago from the shelter, she's about 8
month's old. She is the most loving, adorable little thing. When we first brought her home, she would come to both my boyfriend and I at any time and now she really only comes to me. She sleeps with me, she meows to me, follows me everywhere. He is starting to feel bad, he thinks that she doesn't like him at all.... Is this typical behavior for cats? Does anyone have good feedback to help us create the sense of love for him as well? Thanks, Dani |

It's possible she might prefer women over men, but I would give her a
little more time to settle in. After all, you've only had her a month. You can also have your boyfriend feed her and give her treats, and play with her too. The more positive interaction he has with her, the better. Her can also talk softly to her when she's in the room. Rene |

Our cat Angie is pretty much my cat though she lets the SO pick her up on occasion. Ironically, he can't wait until we get a dog someday, he bonds better with them........THank you for your advice! |

Blokes can't deal with the complex feline (or female) mind and so generally give up. cats need to be nurtured and spoken to gently and cuddled and fussed over and played with etc etc and made to feel as though they are the most gorgeous and beautiful pussycat inthe world (which if course is true for my cats who are all utterly gorgeous, particularly jessie who is the queen of all cats) and that they are special , just like women do! get him to be more gentle with her, she is only tiny and a fragile little creature who needs gentle handling and love, tell him to tread softly around and he is probably thumping about the place as men do, offer her treats and play gentle games with her using ribbons and suchlike do you have any photos of her? bookie |
