cats suddenly ignoring me

why would they do that? 2 brothers, a year old....I always do the
feeding, 1st one up...I have chronic insomnia and they used to keep me
company, every time I was on the computer one of them was on my
lap....they won't even play with me

worse thing I've ever done to Moe & Rudy is use a squirt gun on them
but so has hubby, Moe cringes now when I go to pet him...Rudy used to
love to snuggle with me and rub his face against mine...no more

they aren't this way w/my hubby

I had Sam cat for 15 yrs, Rick (hubby) loved her but only had been with
her for 5 of those yrs, he started pushing for another cat about 7
months after her death...He tells me I should be over her by now

I do love Moe & Rudy, it's just not up to what it was with Sam,
yet......think it's me giving off bad vibes? but we've had them for 5
months now and they just started this a week ago

I still make every effort with them; give them cat treats, try just
talking to them, I'm not a loud person always sweet talk them and when
they eat I can get a few pets in

I get a toy, they like interactive toys and try playing with them, no
go...they drag it with their mouths over to Rick

Why this sudden change?

Any idea's?

Did you mention weather? Cats enjoy a warm body when it's cold, they
seem more aloof when it's warm.

Good luck.

Pick up the telephone and call someone, or ...

Go sit on the toilet.

They will flock to you.

I shut the door.

My cat howls while sitting outside the door.

I let her in, then in a few minutes she is howling to get out.

I understand why. :-D

The posters haven't read all of your letter. Cats being busy and ignoring
you is one thing but cringing when you near them is something else. You
wrote that Moe cringes when you go to pet him.

When you squirted the cats were you very mad at something they did? Maybe
your anger has upset them. I don't think squirting, alone, would do it.

Of course I don't look busy,
I did it right the first time.

My baby Gracie kisses my toes while I am seated on
the Porcelain Throne. Little kitty licks that tell me
that I am the Queen of her Heart, the opener of the cat
food, the cleaner of the cat box. On the toilet, I have
the Power!
