    Just keep working with the kitty and things will improve. Keep training the cat to let the kitty know what is unacceptable behavior and what is NOT!
    My cat used to get mad and want to bite really hard (although he was affectionate most other times). I have worked with him and now he doesn't get mad or scary anymore but it took some time.
    What worked was called behavior modification and it really works! Even though anger is an emotion, it's also a habit. The habit is to react with anger and aggresssion. Every time the cat acts bad, you have to stop it. When you see the cat moving towards biting you stop him before he gets there. Yell NO and interupt him. If he is on your lap, bed or whatever, move him off. You will break the habit and you will see the occurences decreasing. Also set aside regular play time and give kitty a good work out to use it's energy in a more positive manner.
    If you are really faithful with this you will have a cat that is much more gentle and reasonable. Good luck and let us know how things are going.

    Can you post a pic? Is she a calico, tabby, or what? To me, it sounds like she is an alpha female trying to make that known to all the other felines. She is just about the right age for that. Seeing a photo of her, and her with another of the cats in the pic, would help.

    Also, you didn't mention (or I missed it) has she been spayed? Have all the other cats in the house been fixed?

    Make sure you keep her nails clipped, you don't need scratches from her - on you or on the other cats.

    so this is a old topic. But about Zoey... well I think it has been 2 weeks ago me and my BF got 3 pet rats ( I didnt want them but he did) well anywyas I like them now, we have them in this huge cage in the room and there sweet little things. ( I know everyone says ewww or gross about them I did too at first tho they are very smart) anyways ever since them ZOey has had an attitude change (she gets alota attention and love from me and my Bf and his parents) she always has got alot of love... but yeah she has been alot nicer towards me and everyone else, I mean she still has her moments , but not too much now, where she will still growl hiss or bite us. but its very rare now. and I am happy now we got them rats because I realy think she changed because we got new pets.. I have been sick wit Strep since Tuesday and its not friday, and I been in bed most the time had to call off work and everything but Zoey stayed right by my side and was very nice and caring to me the whole time. I was really happy about that, that she was able to stay with me and be a good little kitty.. she has been listenin alot more, though she will still fight with the other cats sometimes. we also have a catnip plant in the house and she eats off of that.. and when she does that she goes psycho on everyone and the cats lol. but she has only had that once since we got the rats. well I know I wrote like abook but I just wanted to let u all know baout her attitude adjustment and how happy I was that she is a lot nicer kitty..
