    Training my 3-year-old cat to give little handshakes

    Thank you! For now, no real progress. But I will surely keep you updated!

    Training my 3-year-old cat to give little handshakes

    Thank you! I do think I have a bell somewhere buried in my house. Maybe she'll react better to that.

    Training my 3-year-old cat to give little handshakes

    Thank you very much! I will see what clicker apps there are on the google app store, because I don't have one and we're in quarantine. Do you think I should keep taking her paw in my hand right before giving her a treat and saying the command? She got angry at me once yesterday when I tried to...

    Training my 3-year-old cat to give little handshakes

    I've begun this yesterday, so obviously no real progress. I use her favourite treats to motivate her and I take her paw and shake it right before rewarding her. She has begun to understand that there's something related to her paw, because she kind of instinctively raises her paw a little bit...

    Is it okay to change your cat’s name?

    If she doesn't know her name by now, I don't think it will matter. I always repeated key words or phrases to my cat since she was tiny in hopes that she'd catch on by context. She did, in fact, catch on. So now she knows her name, knows to 'come', 'go away', knows the meaning of 'no' or 'yes'...

    Cat Is Randomly Aggressive Towards My Mother And Only Her

    Still nothing! I'm impressed by her change. She truly is a good girl.

    Thanks! Still no attacks :) I will closely monitor her behaviour and hopefully no setbacks :D

    Cat Is Randomly Aggressive Towards My Mother And Only Her

    Update! Taking her out of the room immediately when my mom senses Nemi to be agitated worked well. On top of that, I got her medicine for her allergies, little pills that have to go down her throat, and she is getting better. My mom is the one giving them to Nemi. So far, 0 attacks and it's...

    Cat Is Randomly Aggressive Towards My Mother And Only Her

    I will convince my mom to play with her more for starters. Thank you!

    Cat Is Randomly Aggressive Towards My Mother And Only Her

    I will check them out. My mom is a very clean person and hates to see anything unclean around the house or out of order . So yes, everything is clean and nice even when I'm not around.

    I suppose pre menopause? I can't think of anything else.

    Cat Is Randomly Aggressive Towards My Mother And Only Her

    We don't have cat behaviour specialists here, only vets. I will take her to the vet for a general checkup this week, as she's having some issues with allergies. I will talk to them in more detail about this. Dad is blaming mom and laughs at her if she gets hurt. He's not of much help. He...

    Cat Is Randomly Aggressive Towards My Mother And Only Her

    I understand, but my mom is still attached to Nemi. For instance, if she gets hurt or is in pain for some other reason, she rushes to comfort her or see what is wrong, being clearly emotionally distraught. I don't panic like she does, for example. I'm not justifying her other bad behaviour, but...

    Cat Is Randomly Aggressive Towards My Mother And Only Her

    I know for a fact that my mom doesn't abuse her and my cat hasn't been always behaving like this. It's been going on for a few months and she is 2. I'm 18 and in 2 months I'll go to college. I'm not allowed to have pets where I'm staying. I will look for another place after a year. I will come...

    Stray Cat I've Been Taking Care Of Has Given Birth To 2 Kittens Help

    I found her dead after not seeing her yesterday at all. Presumably same neighbour scared her and she went off farther than she would've ever gone. I think she was hit by a car because that's a higher traffic zone (and her body sure looked like that as well, won't go into detail). She was safe...
