Would you want to be known and be called Cat-boy your entire life? It sounds
so humanly forced. Cats should be able to decide their names.

Why isn't it good for the cat to be called Cat-Boy? You are so weird.

About the cats getting along: It might actually be a good idea for

Cat-Boy
and the neighbor cat to keep their distance, unless you are certain that

the
neighbors have her up-to-date on vaccines and vetting. She might stop
hissing at him in time, once she sees he's not a threat. She may be a

loner
cat who doesn't like any cats, not just him.

First let him choose his name. I can't imagine it is really good for him to
be called Cat-Boy.


I think Cat-Boy is a great name and am rather jealous I hadn't come up with it
myself.

Late last summer the house next door was sold. Shortly after the new
people moved in I noticed they had a black and white "tuxedo" girl
cat. They let the cat out during the day while they are at work and
bring her in when they get home. This is a very quiet, cat-friendly
neighborhood, so it's perfectly safe. My old boy lived here with me
for 19 years and one month, always coming and going as he pleased with
his cat flap.

Last November I adopted Cat-Boy from the local county animal shelter.
(Some may remember the story of Old George, whom I was trying to
adopt, and who died.)

Cat-Boy is the friendliest, sweetest cat ever. He loves everyone,
including the girl kitty across the street who comes over to visit and
the girl next door. The problem is the girl next door. I have seen her
five or six houses up and down the street, so she is the kind of cat
who gets around. Before Cat-Boy came to live here this house had no
cats and she appropriated it as part of her territory. I never paid
much attention, although when they first moved in I took pains to make
friends with her so she wouldn't be afraid of me.

The problem is how she treats Cat-Boy. Today I was out in the back
yard getting the flower beds cleaned up. Cat-Boy was out there with
me, of course. He loves to get his Papa to go outdoors with him. While
I was working I noticed the girl kitty from next door come wandering
into the back yard. She went to the patio and sat down under a chair.
Cat-Boy saw her immediately and went over to see her. He went up to
within a couple meters of her and sat down. She looked at him and
hissed. He just sat there for a moment, then lay down and rolled over
on his back, stretching out, keeping one eye on her. It was clear to
me that he was trying to show her how cute he was and that he wouldn't
hurt her. She just continued muttering cat curses at him.

Today was nothing new. I have seen them this way several times in the
past as well. Cat-Boy would really like to be friends with her, but
she is such a bitch she won't allow it. He never cares if other cats
come into our yard, or even into the house. He's very amiable.

My question is, does anyone have any suggestions for ways to get the
neighbor kitty to warm up to Cat-Boy? He's been here since November,
and she still hisses at him. I know Cat-Boy would love to have a kitty
friend next door. Anyone have any ideas?


Shoot the neighbor and steal/adopt their cat.

Cats deserve to be treated like royalty. Lucky for me my cats have solid
names. Cat-Boy seems like this human is feeling that the cat needs to be
treated like a dog.

As soon as my cats make their preferences known, I'll take them to the DMV
for state issued ID cards.
