Excellent points @zoes .thank you

@zoes thank you. Excellent question. I don't pick him up unless I need to move him and he is OK with that. He is free to move as he wishes with no restraints whatsoever. For example if he is walking past or laying on the chair or bed, if I take my fingers and stroke him on his head or cheek...

Maybe I didn't use the right words. I meant in terms of being able to pet them and have them calm me due to stress etc... But I hear you

Thank you. Yup. I don't pay attention to him much. Just once in a while. I'll just ignore him the next few times and see what happens but give him a treat even though he doesn't look at me when I give him some!

In the sense of... Knowing I'm there a small number of times a month and it was for "me" primarily.

Yeah. SO made a bad choice. I would have liked an emotional support pet and I love cats. Never had a pet before but do reasonably know the basics and keep learning. Double whammy for me. Oh well.

For sure not play biting

Thanks @ArtNJ I understand. He takes treats from me no problem. But now it's gone to biting from squirming. Doesn't make me happy at all. Squirming was hard enough for me. 😞

Zoom, my almost 1 year old cat (male) started to bite me today. He is fixed. Back story... I only see him 2 or 3 times a month for a couple of days at a time. Lives with cat momma (the SO) He follows her everywhere, let's her pet him, snuggles with her etc... When it's me...he squirms away...

He definitely has a covered bed to sleep in

Thank you! yes, everything you mentioned is regular and normal.

Not recently. He had his nails cut 2 weeks ago? No issues. He has that once a month. Last wellness check was a few months ago and everything was "good" according to the vet.

Thank you. Certainly will keep an eye out but honestly, no other sounds in the area we live in. It's a gated community also. Sometimes he will just go randomly. Or even after playing... rests on the floor then just will walk into the closet. We mostly spend our time in the bedroom (TV is...

It's one thing after another with my 10 month old kitty Zoom. He seems fine but there are times he goes in the closet and just stays there, does nothing and comes out even when we were just playing. What does this mean? He is an indoor cat. A short hair domestic cat. Has his own bedroom...

Thanks. He doesn't scratch much of furniture but do have scratches dotted around the house that he sometimes uses... Not always though. The chair u see him on.. He does scratch that more often and a firm no doesn't always work lol
