This is great insight, thank you so much! I think you are right. Kimchi just needs to learn Miso's body language. He has already learned NOT to go near her cat tree or he will be chased back into his room. :lol: He is very curious about her, but still apprehensive to engage in full play because...

Yes, good idea. I'll build up more "hiding places" for Kimchi. And thank you so much! I lived in Korea for 3 years & love Japanese food, so their names are inspired by that. :)

This is helpful, thank you! I don't feel that they need another fullsome introduction. I think you are right; I need to have them both out & supervised for longer periods of time so Kimchi can learn how to play with Miso. I agree; Miso is really just trying to get him to play back. He has...

Hi everyone! I have a 3-year-old rescue cat named Miso who is hyper, friendly, confident - and a VERY hard player! She LOVES to be chased, to chase things, to attack her toys, etc. She is the definition of CRAZY CAT! I decided she might benefit from a young male who can play with her while I am...

Hi all. I have an adopted 6 month kitten that's been with us for a little over 2 months. She's a frisky, but lovely cat who loves to nibble on limbs. She was doing much better with hands, and has even learned to bite lightly when she wants to love-bite. But now, she is after me and my...

Oh, and I understand your plight about wanting your cat to bond better with family. I have friends who don't particularly like my cat because they want her to be CHILL and CUDDLE WITH THEM. I try to remind them that she's not like a dog. And I try to encourage them to enjoy her quirkiness and...

I have a 7 month kitten with the same problem. She loves to play, eat, and attack feet! We have a great relationship and she is well loved and I know she loves me too. But the times when I want to cuddle (morning and night) are when she is most energized and least in need of cuddles! Haha. So my...

Thanks everyone. I've been trying to do the authoritative "NO" everytime she bites and she usually backs down either right away or after one more attempt. She doesn't try again for a while after that. Yesterday, I saw watched her ALMOST bite me twice, but then she decided against it, and pulled...

Oh, I love the idea of the little fish friend, @Max's Human ! I think Miso has enough force in her that she may knock it over though! LOL! Perhaps we'll try it out :) She still seems generally happy. Very nippy at times, but I am very patient with her because I know she's a kitten who is alone...

Hi everyone! I am a first time cat owner so I would love some feedback on our little furbaby’s Behavior. I’ve been reading articles but still don’t seem to understand. Our cat is 5 months old now. Got her when she was 4 months. She was taken early from her mother, but not her litter mates. She...

Thanks so much, everyone. Unfortunately, getting another cat is not an option for us right now due to space & financial burdens. We had lots of quality time this weekend, though. Lots of playing and lots of cuddles. I think I need to wait until she's not a kitten anymore to train her to sleep in...

Thank you so much, everyone, for the helpful words and insight. @margd , those are some super helpful articles, thank you! We have some toys now, but I will be sure to start making/collecting some more. And maybe we can work on getting her trained to go to bed with me at night rather than go...

Hello! I am a first-time cat owner and also someone with a heavy conscience. My roommate and I just adopted a 4-month old kitten. When we first got her, we had 4 days at home without work to get to know her and spend time with her. The most we would go out of the house would be 3-4 hours. Now...

Okay, thank you so much for the advice. I will try to dote on her a little more today!

Yes, I think you're right. I do cuddle with her lots and show her lots of love but sometimes I just need to do my chores without fearing I'm going to trip over her! Haha. After some more indulgence, do you think she'll start to feel comfortable enough to be more independent, or will she get used...
