Have you ever met a really mean cat?

Hi apple, I also had another cat "baby", poor thing she was cross eyed. My daughter found her near the curb and she brought her home to me. This poor kitten had not eaten in I don't know how long. Each time she eat, she growled at me, so when I fed her, I would go over and rub her back, until she got use to me. She got pregnant, and when her due date came she went over and called me. Believe it or not. On mothers day she had her kittens. I was washing dishes she went over and meow at me, until I followed her. A while later she had her first kitten. I was there when the first kitten came out. I left her alone with her baby and continue to wash the dishes, she came and meow kind of weird, I followed her again and she was telling her baby feel, as I looked in between two boxes, there was her baby. after that she would not let me live her alone. She had 3 kittens on Mothers days. The weird thing about all this is that she waited for me to come home.

yea,it was truly sad.poor little guy,he was terminal. he had a good life,though.we have his decendant,blackie the 2nd

Oh, that is so sad! Animals in pain often act up to try to get help. Same with children.

Cat love is just that way! Hard to explain and even harder to justify.

Your Smokey is so funny! He sounds like my kitten Little Buddy. Last night, Little Buddy tracked down our female cat, EB, while she was sleeping and pounced on her until she was snarling. I ran into the room, just in time to see EB trying to squirm underneath the recliner for her own safety. Little Buddy got a time out in the laundry room. Course, the laundry room is the cat's room, so it's not so bad. I'm not a mean cat mommy! But I do try to provide them with loving limits!

I finally invested in a water bottle. One spray across the room with that and he knows hes in trouble.

You're the one in charge! And you're letting him know that. That's very important. If left unchecked a cat's wild tendencies can lead them to anger issues and aggression.

Oh, that's sad! I'm sorry you had to go through that. Usually cats are terrified of any kind of small animal or baby that is on it's eye level and can look it in the eye. Usually that's a challenge. When you look at a cat, you must lower your eyelids almost all the way. It's a nonchalant greeting that says, "I'm fine! How about you?" Cats everywhere will respect you if you do this. Once when my big male cat was acting all weird, I watched a lion show on cable that showed how other lions greet each other with a head butt. The next time he jumped on the couch and got surly with me, I lowered my head and used my head to bump his forehead, gently. He's been my best friend ever since!
