Show us your kitty cats

[Gzero]

If they start chasing each other with slinking, you're not doing enough to keep their attention/aggression off each other. You need to show both of them that they get attention from you and reward them for tolerating each other in the same room. It's a full time job so I hope you booked time off work.

This is Loki, our most recent boy. The scratch on his nose is some feedback from our fluffy monster who didn't agree with our decision to bring a kitten into the house!

my mums cat Barney doesn't like his Paw being touched lol

 

[Gzero]

Do not touch the paw. :>

Ever.

My two don't like it either. Stopped trying to clip their nails, too much stress/hassle.

 

[neil_g]

My two aren't bothered. Sometimes they'll freely put their paw out to be rubbed.

Depends what they're used to I guess.

Harry is cute

Tried touching the Paw today - Holly did a swipe with claws out and so did Ronnie. - Both on starvation rations for a week. How dare they swipe the hand that feeds them

A quick question for those of you with house cats or ever had one. Realistically how large of a space would you need for one? We thought about adopting/rescuing a slightly older cat but then wondered how much living in a one bed flat would effect it and decided against. We would have plenty of time for the cat so that was never an issue just worried about space. What do you all think one bed flat too small its a decent size one bed atleast.

Unless she's used to such small spaces, she'll be meowing at that door all day long. I have a 3 bed room house and sometimes it's not big enough for 2.

Love playing with my cats paws, she doesn't mind at all and doesn't budge. If I have one finger on the bottom of her front paw she'll squeeze my finger a bit

 

[Griffo]

I can hold/stroke front paws, rears she's less happy about. I'll get 'em eventually!

Bella doesn't like paw touching/paw holding much.

I can rub her tummy all day long, touch her nose, play with her ears, tail, chin.

But paws must be sacred or something. There is also a special place in hell reserved for humans who clip claws, I've been told

Mine were the same. I think its an instinctive prey-is-trying-to-escape-grabit! reaction or something. Used to have a lot of fun seeing how much you can get away with. If you don't react by yanking your hand away or staying calm they generally calm down too. Or at least become become more tolerant if you touched them when they weren't expecting it they'd do the instinctive thing then open their eye and give a look as if to say "oh its you!" and leave you to it and fall asleep again.

Ours tolerates petting of the front paws but not the back.

Nail clipping is met with a very sad sounding meow but she doesn't fight it - think its more the principle of the matter

Elsa - spends a lot of time with her legs in the air!


Finley - same litter as Elsa, also likes to air his bits!


Timmy - blind and not a care in the world


Yogi "helping"

I wouldn't clip her claws at all but for the fact that she gets them stuck (in carpets, etc) and it could be dangerous for her. I don't mind being scratched in the slightest (although she's really not that sort of cat anyhow).
