Update!! It has officially been 3 months since I've gotten lil noodle (she's also 7 months now!) and we feel mostly adjusted to each other. She's so big now and is still a lil naughty from time to time but she's just a teen so it's fair haha. She hasn't been scratching any of us or the...

Hey All! Some of you may recognize me from my anxiety post (which by the way, thank you very much for the helpful and kind encouraging comments on it)- I decided to start a new thread to discuss a different topic than continue from that one. The anxiety about everything has mostly left though...

I wish I knew what my parents did to cause her to swipe, but it's usually things like dangling objects that happen to be in front of her (mom has a strap attached to her phone and when she folds clothes the fabric dangles haha) so she probably thinks they're toys. I've been constantly reminding...

Ahh she's hitting them teenager months now haha she's been more aggressive than usual- I guess the hormones are starting to kick in for her It's hard not to feel anxious! she keeps swiping at me and my family, i feel awful whenever they get hurt because of her- we try and ignore her when she...

Update! It has been a little over a month now- lil noodle is about 5 and 1/2 months now- she's so big now! We actually had to leave her with a family friend for about a week bc we had to go out of state for personal reasons- of course i was worried but she was fine haha" Things have...

AGH this one is so tricky to handle, im still not sure how to go about it. I know we're supposed to ignore unwanted behavior bc that makes them stop. But I kind of have to move her or push her away when she does some specific stuff (like she's been biting my keyboard wire recently, and it's an...

Thanks Misty! Noodle has been getting better about us coming and going, maybe 1/5 times she escapes the room hahah thankfully she can't get far since the door to outside the actual building is always closed off. Not making a big deal about it has been helping. Me and the fam have really thought...

Thanks Juniper and Minish! Super appreciate the tips n tricks. Lil noodle kinda figured out my work schedule (since I work from home) and naps on my desk next to me while I draw haha- I also have a reasonably small place. I'm getting the second litterbox today and havent figured out where to...

Thanks for the kind words! I'm definitely hanging in there, even though it's still pretty hard it's been much much easier having my family around with me (we're all learning together!) Do you guys happen to know when cats typically start to mellow at? I'm guessing when they reach full maturity...

An update! It is now 1 week since adoptin this lil guy. I was still feeling incredibly overwhelmed about everything and had cried probably at least once a day lmAo. I resigned and opened up to my parents about it (who live out of state) and they drove on over to give me additional company while...

Haha pray tell how you knew about the beer thing- and hit me up with those lyrics! lmao- I do have space on my desk thankfully that she sometimes goes to, maybe I'll try your box idea, she'll likely nip at me while I do it though haha I'll try the toy thing too Bear, thanks for that

Thanks guys, I'll do my best to hang in there and be patient with her as well as myself, I'll be sure to give updates when I can- hopefully I can find a workaround for my keyboard so she doesn't lay on it, makes it hard to genuinely work ahaha. The only thing I can think of is keeping her to one...

Thank you for the kind words. It's really hard to work and eat when she's laying around my station, and I know if I lift her she'll just bite and nip-quite a bit unsure what to do there;; I'm also dreading the inevitable having to bring her to her first checkup at the vet and especially having...

Hi everyone! I'm new here. For context, I've always loved animals- cats and dogs especially. I have been wanting a cat for years now, since I was in high school (I've graduated college by now). I moved out semi-recently in the beginning of September Last year and I knew I wanted to have some...
