I'm looking for the man who shot my paw.

95% of the time she's a menace, but i can only get pictures while she's being sweet




a few nights ago tippy was sleeping on top of me, and when my wife got up she (tippy) flipped out and i have some nice cuts on my arm and even my armpit. thanks wife, thanks tippy.

My old girl, River, is having all her teeth pulled today. Wish her luck.

good luck River, do okay!

i once took in an elderly TNR cat who'd decided humans were okay, maybe, and her quality of life greatly improved once dumbass me realized she had rotten teeth and got them pulled. after recovery she immediately became much friendlier than she ever had been before! the constant tooth pain must have been so stressful. you're definitely doing the right thing for River

River is doing okay, but they weren't able to get all her teeth in one shot. I have to come back next month to finish the last bit.

Bonbon is settling in, still pretty nervous because she's hiding in the cubby all the time. She played, litterboxed, ate and snoozed, cant complain. Hissed at my hands if they approach from below for some reason but loves rubbing her face against them otherwise. managed to pick her up and snuggle without a problem. After awhile she starts thumping her tail like in the video, indication that she's had enough of me for now?

Did you find out how she ended up at the shelter? An issue with her previous butler?

hi bonbon! you're a cutie!

the TNR volunteer who placed my ex-ferals with me had great advice for dealing with hand and other trust issues - she had me get some inaba churu puree treats and hand-feed a tube once a day, every day

it works quite well, and would probably help bonbon adjust. she doesn't need this the way ferals do, she's already well socialized and will figure things out on her own, but it might help her settle in faster

Synthbuttrange
May 6, 2007





I'll keep that advice in mind! She hissed again after a nice long play session so I'm thinking she may just use hisses to indicate she's tired of something? Also Pudding started sniffing under the door and she got real mad haha but chilled out after.

yeah when they've been playing or snuggling but then hiss at you or thwack tails hard, it's generally just overstimulation and they need some alone time to calm down

i've met cats who have that personality trait their entire lives, so that could be something which never stops happening, but at the very least i'd expect her fuse to get a bit longer once her stress levels go down

I let her peek at pudding through a gap in the door and she's not impressed and got kinda upset. She was even hissing and swatting at me then had to walk away and calm down. I really hope it works out. :(

Up ta somethin'


the fact that her tail isn't poofed to the size of a baseball bat and she didn't charge the gap or quickly sprint away are all good signs.

she's just had three major changes in quick succession (going to the shelter, coming home, and now hey a new buddy) so it will take her a bit to settle in. as long as she has a good dependable place like the cubby to take refuge she should gradually get less tense.

yeah a couple i know who each had their own cat moved in together at the start of the pandemic and their cats *hated* each other. they were trying everything up to and including hiring a cat behavioral specialist to try to ease tensions but they would just not get along. two years later and they're fine. time seems to be the best remedy with cats

also if bonbon has been an only cat for her entire life till now, that's a huge permanent change. cats are adaptable but if they've never had to share space that's something they'll have to learn on the fly. sometimes the only thing that can be done is to let them interact so they can set their own boundaries.
