Spicey was loud
"Takayuki" wrote in message news On Tue, 6 Nov 2012 00:12:59 -0000, "Christina Websell" wrote: "Bastette" wrote in message ... It makes me think that Spicey probably longed for more company and social contact than she had with Suz. Why do you think that? she knew nothing else. I'm very happy she is now with Tak who is doing well with his inherited gift. She is definitely like an inheritance. I think that she had an excellent home with Suz. Spicey probably got more undivided adoration as an only kitty of a hoomin who usually couldn't go anywhere, than she does with 2 job 3 cat moi. Adoration wasn't quite enough though. But it's definitely true that she's not used to being handled. I mean, she's *really* dangerous. I already consider it inevitable that I'm going to end up at the hospital again at some point, and have my health insurance cards and everything all set to go. Spicey seems more dangerous than KFC and she could be "fairly" dangerous. But only to me. She was fine with children and any other adult - she was a stritch tart with others, but with me she flew into a temper. I don't know why. She was a difficult cat but like you, I persevered, and managed to get her to a great age. I hope you achieve the same with Spicey. |

Yeah, at this point, I'm really seeing zero problems in their social interactions. I'm watching them closely, looking for problems, but I just haven't found anything yet. I think the only thing that applies to all cats is their ability to surprise us. :-) -- Adrian http://community.webshots.com/clowderuk |

They may not always love each other but they're working it out. Thank you, Tak! Jill Well, thank you for sticking through these posts. Some of them get a little longwinded, I know. I don't mind reading them at all. I think you're doing a wonderful job. (Just an FYI, until I managed to get Thunderbird working I couldn't even see your original posts. I was reading vicariously through other peoples replies.) Jill |

She seems to be emulating the other two in some ways, and trying to fit in. Cats do learn from each other. At least at my house they do. By watching the other cats get brushed Samwise learned that being brushed is a good thing. Samwise was our rescue kitty and was almost feral when we trapped him. He has gone from wild child to lap fungus. He comes up on his own to sit with me. They come close to having a culture. |

She just needs to get used to the routine here, and that'll be a good foundation from where she can learn to be more comfortable and less aggressive. |
