Cats suck!

[treehugger]

BF and I moved in together 6 months ago he had 2 skittish, unaffectionate, stand offish, cats. I had 2 dogs (crazy/ hyper weimaraners). My dogs are weird one is afraid of the cats and the other wants to play.

They were 2 male neutered cats (2 and 3 years old) who were previously house cats in a 2nd story condo. Within a month of moving into our house one of the cats got out, freaked, hung out in the back yard for 2 days and when we came near ran into a culvert known to be traversed by coyotes. We have not seen him since….

The other cat is now affectionate and friendly. He hangs out with us and plays with one of the dogs.

I am in no way recommending that you throw one of the cats to the coyotes, but….

I’ve had to deal w/DH’s cat. I got stuck having to feed the cat b/c of his early morning work hours. Guess who is now the cat’s best friend? Ox, if you have any interest in gaining the love of the cat, just be the only one feeding them. Before you know it, they will be all over you.

Definitely not all cats behave this way. I know one who looks like a Maine Coon but acts like a Ragdoll who *cannot* tolerate being left alone by humans for more than a day.

We have a great midwestern lovecat.
He can’t stand being separated from you.

he’s clingy.

I’ve known these cats since she bought them about a year ago (helped pick them out) and had sorta accepted their lame, skiddish behavior, but now it is getting to me. They lurk in the hall until you walk toward them and then they friggin bolt for under the bed like I am a feline ax murderer (hmm, there’s a thought). It has taken one of them almost a month to even come out from under the bed.

1) They are scaredy cats

2) Try finding out if they Fishing, Mousing or Birding cats. fishing cats like tuna or anchovy treats. Mousers like chasing balls and little toys.
Birders like leaping and watching the birds in the window.

if you have a birder, you need a “Da Bird” toy.
