thanks I’ll do that! I always sit down at my desk in the room after I put the food down and she seems totally fine and just keeps eating before perching back up in the cat tree. It’s always fine once the food is down, it’s just the process of getting it there that she’s scared of.

thanks, that is a good point- Using the food as a reward when she calms down.

she is 1 year old, I adopted her from a foster who has had her since she was a kitten (not sure exactly what age but the earliest vet record shows she was 14 weeks old, so at least that young). The foster was able to pet her, hold her and she would fall asleep in her arms. Apparently she was...

So I have a new issue with my cat I adopted almost 2 weeks ago…she used to only hiss at me if I got too close to her, and usually only once.

In addition, is there any reason to take her to the vet if I know she's up to date on vaccines and showing no obvious signs of being unhealthy? I've heard you're supposed to take a new cat to the vet within the first week, but I don't want to make her uncomfortable by bringing her there.

Hi everyone, so I adopted a cat from a foster 5 days ago (I know, it's only been a short time but I want to make sure I do everything right). She is a little over a year old and she had been with the foster for about 10 months prior. The first meeting with her, the foster brought her over to my...
