Hi, I have a shy girl, Luigi (yes, I know, it's a boy's name...my son named her so he could have Mario and Luigi). I do not know if she is shy or really angry for bringing Tiger home. Ever since he came here in the summer I am not allowed to pet or cuddle with her. She can rub my legs, or she waits for me to sleep before jumping on me to sleep, (okay I pretend to sleep just to get her attention).

The best thing that works with her is if I ignore her. The harder I try to cuddle or hear her purr the more distant she will become.


Frankie and Candy are gorgeous, I don't blame you for wanting those pets and cuddles. I am glad that they are in your home and out of cages. And even if they just snuggle to other kitties, that is better than their previous experiences.

Twelve cats!? I should be asking you for advice!

And oh, don't forget that famous quote...."If a cat don't wanna, it ain't gonna!"
