    New Cat, Growling & Hissing

    Yes. He's been to the vet and he's healthy. He doesn't get involved in my daily living. I talk to him every day but he hisses and growls at me. Very gentle approaches to pet him have given me wounds and bruises. I'm at the end of my rope with him. I tried to pet him with a long stick but he...

    New Cat, Growling & Hissing

    I thought I wouldn't have to update but pepper is just wild. I pretty much pretend he's not around. I don't know what got into him but he still growls and hisses and spits but instead of it being a defensive situation, he doing that song and dance at me while I'm minding my own business. He...

    New Cat, Growling & Hissing

    Final update: Pepperkitty is still very hidey. And completely nocturnal. While the noises I make do not scare him, the noises from neighbors sends him hiding. I wish I lived in a house. One stomp and his day is ruined! He mews like a kitten at night and it sounds a bit sad or lost so I took a...

    New Cat, Growling & Hissing

To answer most questions in here, I had originally set up my walk in closet for the growl kings safe space but on the second day he laid claim to my bathroom- the only places with doors in my apt)...

    New Cat, Growling & Hissing

    This is the scared beast. He's now blocked off my closet in the bathroom. He caught me off guard as I didn't know he was in there blocking access to my bathroom things. He growled and clawed me and I snapped that pic real fast before he hissed at me and I left. He's definitely down for...

    New Cat, Growling & Hissing

    He doesn't seem to eat his dry cat food. Only licks the gravy from the wet food and eats the treats. How do I get him to eat substantial amounts of food? When I bring him his food, he no longer growls and swats at me but he does give me a low warning hiss. (Progress!) He's also taken to...

    Omg. Thank you. I've been so stressed, trying to be an excellent new cat mom for this freaked out boy. I'll back off and relax.

    New Cat, Growling & Hissing

    A family with young children wanted this "mean" cat out of their home as it was growling, hissing, clawing and spitting at them from behind their couch. When I arrived at their home, he had a car load of things (food, litter, treats, toys, furniture etc) and I peeked behind the couch and he...
