Cat vs. Husband!

[Karen]

hello!

Um I don't think she likes to actually play but she will humor him for a few mins and then she's like done all of a sudden. She really enjoys just laying with me and sleeping on me. She won't lay with him at all or even walk over to him…I do the feeding. I have had him give her treats and sometime we will give her little pieces of chicken but she won't really take it from him. She seems to love everyone but him.

Perhaps he should be the one to feed her for a while, and practice just being with her without playing for a while each day! We know he wants to pick her up, and play and everything, but he needs to win her over first! Maybe he can just sit near her while he reads, or does something quiet, or just talk to her a bit quietly every day! I know she can be won over in time!

It's obvious that she does NOT like the play fighting, so your husband needs to stop. Karen is right, the kitten may be a good thing for Lucy. It'll divert her attitude towards your husband. She might just be lonely. When you pay attention to the kitten, also pay attention to Lucy, giving them both treats so she associates it with a good, enjoyable thing.

Thank you for not giving up on Lucy. She just needs a little extra attention to let her know she's loved and special.
