She seems to be going through some redirected aggression, and I cannot trust her around my cats right now. Hushpad attacked Loki again today One thing I learned with my cats is that re introductions shouldn't be rushed or else you are back to square one again. I think a minimum of 24 hours of total separation is a good start. -mhd |

artfully composed this message within news:q_mzc.41795$0y.32697@attbi_s03 on 14 Jun 2004: I am not complaining. The purpose of my post was to seek some help in assisting this cat to become a more well-adjusted cat, suitable for adoption by the general public. My first thought reading your first post was that some people would really like this in a cat. My second thought is that given her history, she would probably prefer to be an only cat. She demands attention, and she gets upset with the others who she probably smells on you. -- Cheryl |

She demands attention, and she gets upset with the others who she probably smells on you. Unfortunately, I can't ask her previous owners if something like this ever happened. If she is prone to this type of redirected aggression, then you are right, she would be best as an only cat. *sigh* We have quite a number of only cats at the shelter, it's so hard to get them adopted. -- -Kelly kelly at farringtons dot net Check out www.snittens.com |

The purpose of my post was to seek some help in assisting this cat to become a more well-adjusted cat, suitable for adoption by the general public. Sorry, I missed this. I was thinking along the same lines as some of you, that she may adjust her neediness once she is in a regular household. That was why I started letting her out of the room to spend some time in the rest of the house, but that backfired on me. Kelly, thanks for what you're doing. I admire you so much for it. I could never foster because I know I would become too attached. I have no problem becoming the Cat Lady with 20 cats one day, but I have to unload my two-cats-is-enough husband first. (And find a cat that can pay half the bills!) |
