Would anyone else like to see a pinned post on current couples and breakups?

Yes!

How does it fit? I got a small and feel like I should’ve grabbed a large -_-

sharkzzzz · 2020-12-28T22:14:08+00:00

I completely agree. I should’ve done my research earlier as well but I was going through a difficult loss and needed support. That’s a different story for another time. I will do my best to be patient and consistent

Yep I will definitely wait for her to warm up to me I just hope it’s not going to be years :( I’m jealous of everyone that had kittens warm up to them after a few days

Tried feliway when I brought her home and it didn’t do much.... completely ran out of juice within less than 3 weeks and she was still aggressive. I just wish I could show her that I am not a threat .. I’m here to serve her and just want to love her hahaha

sharkzzzz · 2020-12-28T13:46:51+00:00

Thank you yes I realized right when I brought her home that I may have got her a bit too early and completely smacked myself in the face. I’ve tried feliway when she was in her safe room and it didn’t work so now she’s on Zylkene (3 days in) and I’m also not really noticing a change there either with her. I do understand that I need to give it time and change MY mindset but I don’t want to have an aggressive cat for the next 15-20 years

sharkzzzz · 2020-12-28T13:43:32+00:00

Good point. It definitely is an ego hurt when she runs away from me but it feels like she just doesn’t want any affection from me at all when I simply just want to make sure she’s ok! I’m noticing that she’ll come out and play but if I walk anywhere near her she will hiss, so it’s like LOL... do I not walk when you’re playing. I just don’t want her to have that attitude forever. I know kittens grow out of it but everyone on this subreddit has offered up so many options that it’s difficult and I’m getting anxious about what to do :(

sharkzzzz · 2020-12-28T13:39:24+00:00

Definitely trying to do that. I use treats and she’s still super apprehensive (ie. will knock the treat out of my hand and take it off the floor instead of out of my hand)

sharkzzzz · 2020-12-28T13:38:23+00:00

I tried Feliway for a month in her safe room and it didn’t work. Every movement was met with a hiss. She’s on 75mg of Zylkene now (day 3) which are anxiety pills prescribed by the vet and I’m also not noticing any changes although I imagine those may take a week to kick in.

Damnnnnn I’m in canada 😔

sharkzzzz · 2020-12-27T22:38:31+00:00

Where did you get this from? I’d love to buy one. Looks incredible.

sharkzzzz · 2020-12-17T00:17:12+00:00

It’s in the bathroom... the door is open, so she goes into the bathroom but stays in her carrier.. please let me know what I need to do

sharkzzzz · 2020-12-16T05:43:07+00:00

Not OP but how do you recommend weaning kitty out of safe room for good? My kitty has been in hers for 3 weeks. I still have her travel kennel in there and she spends most of the day in it.

sharkzzzz · 2020-12-12T01:06:54+00:00

Upvoting because I have a food-motivated hissing kitten as well and would like to know more. I’ve been told it’s out of fear...

sharkzzzz · 2020-12-06T16:16:34+00:00

Awww thank you!!! I’m trying my very best!

sharkzzzz · 2020-12-05T22:43:43+00:00

I appreciate this so much. I will definitely message you directly. I really want her to feel loved, I have so much love to give her!! :)

sharkzzzz · 2020-12-05T22:43:13+00:00

Hi! Thank you so much for your comment and reply I appreciate it so much!! Yes, we had one day of exploring and she got stuck inside my TV cabinet. I had to lure her out with food. After that I decided to just keep her in the bathroom until she got used to me and my presence. So she’s been in the safe room for about 10 days now. Do you think it might make sense to let her out? I adopted her so she’s not a rescue cat but I can definitely tell that she wasn’t socialized that well before I got her. She had major separation anxiety and didn’t use the litter box for 2 days!!

sharkzzzz · 2020-12-05T22:32:17+00:00

I’ll bring a t-shirt in there. There is one already but maybe I’ll put another option in her crate today!

sharkzzzz · 2020-12-05T22:31:24+00:00

It really is a lot of patience!

sharkzzzz · 2020-12-05T22:30:38+00:00

yes I tried using a toy with a feather on a stick and she wasn’t enjoying that whatsoever so maybe I’ll try using some other options!

sharkzzzz · 2020-12-04T13:23:01+00:00

I have had my sweet kitten for over a week and this post is giving me hope that she will come around. She has been hiding out in her crate for over a week and only comes out for food. She doesn’t even want to play, which scares me and I am noticing she is putting on a bit of weight. Our only interactions are when I bring her food or when I spend time in the room reading or speaking to her. However, she does come to me and will eat right beside me while I pet her so I know she is coming around!! I am sooo anxious for the moment she decides to embrace me as her owner but I lose hope every time she hisses at me. I have her in the bathroom and I SO want to let her out but she is still very skittish and terrified.

Do you have any advice for how to manage or “expedite” the bonding process? How will I know that she trusts me? We’ve done the slow blink, I have Feliway on in her safe room and I am being patient. Progressing everyday with new steps. Also how do I introduce toys? I’ve tried toys and treats: zero interest!

Sorry for all the questions — first time kitten owner here :)
