Re: How to stop cat hating guests

Haha cant argue with her logic then :roll: Tried to giver her some treats earlier but as you said she wanted me to know she was unhappy and growled if i tried to feed her by hand. Had to throw the treats 2 feet away from myself for her to accept them. Ill have to buy some really fancy treats (maybe ...

Re: How to stop cat hating guests

But why does she also become aggressive to us? She acts as if we are intruders too

How to stop cat hating guests

My young kitten Yuki has had a rough past. She was separated from her mother too young and was abused by her former owners (she had a fractured hip). This, combined with her personality, has made her quite a mean kitty. She has sweetened up over time (and treats have helped her along the way ;) ) bu...

9 months old cat hisses and growls at her toy

Our cat Yuki has a lot of energy and a very strong prey drive so we play with her very often. We recently bought her a new wand toy that has a furry mouse attached to the end. The mouse squeaks and rattles when it is shaken so she goes nuts for and chases it like mad. We let her run after it up and ...

Re: Kitten becomes aggressive towards cat when she is outside

I haven't tried that yet but I don't think it will work because Yuki has always been fascinated by water and doesn't seem bothered by it. But ill keep a note of it and buy some spray bottles when i see them

Re: Kitten becomes aggressive towards cat when she is outside

We have spayed her but shes still as intemse as ever. Whenever we catch her in the act of bullying Kiska we put her in my mums room for an hour. If shes let out and continues we put her back for even longer. But she seems to not have learnt her lesson. I kinda fault Kiska too because she doesn't sta...

Kitten becomes aggressive towards cat when she is outside

Hi everyone I've been gone for a while! Yuki (the aggressive kitten) has softened up a lot now that she is 8 months old. She isn't as mean as she used to be and will let us pet her and hug her without her resorting to face biting and clawing if she wants us to stop. However she becomes aggressive to...

Re: Kitten preventing older cat from using the litter box

Yes Kiska has started visiting my mothers room again (Yuki's domain) and slept with my mum, something she always did before we had Yuki. It's just at night when Yuki is hyper that she gives Kiska a hard time (Kiska sleeps in the mornings). I try to play with Yuki as much as possible to burn her ener...

Kitten preventing older cat from using the litter box

As expected of a kitten our Yuki constantly chases our older cat Kiska, who is too passive to fight back. Unfortunately this means that Kiska has resorted to peeing and pooing wherever she is when nature calls. She is too afraid to come downstairs because Yuki will know about it and will pounce on h...

Re: How can I stop Yuki eating all of Kiskas food

Kiska will sometimes swipe if Yuki gets to close. But her problem is when Yuki is chasing her she keeps on fleeing. She doesnt turn around and give her a beating. Yuki needs to learn that adult cats are twice as strong as her.

Re: How can I stop Yuki eating all of Kiskas food

managed to find this site where its only £12 but im skeptical about the price http://little.holmesstorehouse.co.uk/Listing_i2018371 at the moment I always sit by to make sure Yuki doesn't do anything. It does kind of infuriate me how much of a bully she can be. I just hope she calms down as she gets...

Re: How can I stop Yuki eating all of Kiskas food

Hello! Thanks for replying. I'll def look into the microchip foodbowl as Kiska is scared of small enclosed spaces and likey won't go into a crate set up. It'll be unlikely that Yuki will steal portions since Kiska will be on guard when she gets near. We have been away for a month before when it was ...

How can I stop Yuki eating all of Kiskas food

It's gotten to the point that I have to feed Kiska on a schedule. We used to put food out in bowls around the house (six of them) but Yuki will always target Kiska's food before her own. Kiska needs a special formula because she has stomache issues but because Yuki will eat it before her own I've ha...

Re: Kitten with aggression problems

Aww :) Yuki is funny with strangers. She loves on them initially but I think she gets tired of them because she's always following around new people and soliciting attention but an hour or so later she'll hiss at them. Not in an aggressive manner but more of a "give me space" sort of way. ...

Re: Kitten with aggression problems

Another update. I've been with my fathers side of the family for two weeks now and have come back. Yuki has sweetened up to me again, I think she may have missed me. She's getting calmer as she's growing up and is better with being handled. I try to hold her in different ways but in short intervals ...

Re: Kitten with aggression problems

About the bashing around thing I can agree. Yuki has on multiple occasions ran head first into thing. She'll also jump and do flips sometimes when playing with her wand toys, only to knock her body into a table etc. I was just so scared. The noise she made was gut wrenching. The best thing I can com...

Re: Kitten with aggression problems

Bad news! During one of Yukis tyrannical play times (running around like a madman and beating up her toys) I accidentally stepped on her. I was carrying some laundry when she shot past my legs and I kicked and trampled her. I managed to jump back before my full weight went down on her, so I didn't b...

Re: Kitten with aggression problems

Will do :) Yuki is getting sweeter. She has her days though, sometimes you can pick her up and cuddle her for a good amount of time, other days you pick her up and she's got her mouth open, ready to bite you on the nose. We accept her for who she is of course and leave her be on her moody days. She'...

Re: Kitten with aggression problems

Hello again! Yuki is doing better now, she's a lot sweeter but we're still having problems in terms of her relationship with Kiska. So Kiska will often sit at the entrance to a room, which always results in her having a hard time with Yuki. If Yuki wants to pass through Kiska will growl and hiss, so...

Re: Kitten with aggression problems

Update on Yuki. We took her to the vets and as it turned out she had an infection where her stuck baby teeth had fallen out from. It was right behind both her upper canines. We can only assume she was grumpy and bity because of the pain. She has since been on antibiotics and the swelling has gone do...

Re: Kitten with aggression problems

Thnks. We have a carry case so I'll try that. We were actually discussing that when she kept jumping up at the bird cages. You might be right about the teething. Her mood get rotten around tge time she drops teeth but I haven't seen any missing yet. Thnk you very much. I refuse to give up on Yuki.

Re: Kitten with aggression problems

Update again! Progress has backfired a little. We don't know what's triggered it but Yuki has gone from a 5 to a 10. She is biting constantly regardless of what kind of toys we are using (wand). She will ambush out of the blue and bite quite hard. No bloodshed yet but she does tear up some skin and ...
