Thanks all. Maybe she is just a normal moody cat but it sure is troublesome to me - and very sad, frustrating. It makes me feel very sad and like I am not a good cat mom.

Lizzie is beautiful and healthy - but so different from any cat I have ever had. It is odd how she watches my every move - follows me with those eyes - it seems that she wants something that I am unable to understand and give her!! Sometimes, she sits near me and cries. I cannot for the life of me understand what she wants. There have been times when, during her crying - she lets me pet her, rolls over and cries more - then ends up biting me! (not hard)

For example - right now she is sleeping. I went and lay my head on her and petted her, she stretches and rolls over for me to rub her belly and seems so content. As soon as she wakes and sees me - she gets up and runs. It is the same with hubby. She won't even let Emily love and groom her anymore.

When she came home from the vet after her spay - maybe you guys remember how several of the others hissed and avoided her - it upset her and she ran to hide the rest of the day. I wonder if this has made her worse? The only cat she will be near now is Robbie. Of course - she did not have much to do with us before the spay either - and I was hoping she would get more loving - but she is definitely worse than ever.

It may be no big deal but it makes me feel awful. Maybe I am too concerned about how my kitties feel and if they are upset or unhappy. If I told anyone else this, they would not begin to understand. They would probably think I am nuts and maybe I am

To be positive - the only time she scratches is when I clip her nails or give her medicine - she has learned very well to sheath her claws on skin and Robbie has as well. It only took several "NO!" and a couple OUCH cries to stop that behavior. Same goes for their early kitten biting - I cried out and gave them a toy anytime they played rough with me. For example, when I have to pick her up and put her in her carrier for a vet visit - she is mad and fights me but no claws or teeth. I am glad for these things!! OK, that was trying to be positive!!
