    Do cats mimic each other?

    So this one cat has been coming around for the past couple of morning because it knows I feed my cat. This morning I gave my cat catnip. I put it on the ground by his food bowl. He rubbed his face around in the catnip and ate it! Then, the other cat came and sniffed the spot where the catnip...

    my cat doesn't like the females.

    feral cat jerks away when I try to pet him

    I have been feeding a feral cat for about 2 months now. He approaches me for food with his tail up, but when I try to pet him, he jerks away. How can I make him more comfortable?
