Hey I give her enough love.. but just to let everyonek know SHE IS GETTING WORSE! i dont know what the problem is with her either. and I dont have themoney rite now to take her to the vet??

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.

Hi freedom, yes she is spayed. and she is a black kitten. she is short haired, evil looking but cute lol. and yes all the others cats are spayed neautered whatever its all called. I think Imight be able to get a pic in the next few days.

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..

Just a suggestion, but what is Zoey's naughty word? Do you say "No Zoey!" Because if an animals name is very similar to their naughty word, it creates confusion and there can be huge behavior issues. Instead, try "Bad Zoey!"

Such was the case with my friends dog. As soon as they switched to "Bad!" instead of "No!" her behavior improved. Just a thought.

no. I just say "NO!" to her and point. always have
