    Mean cat? or what

    Okay. So I have this 6 1/2 month old cat. she is black. ive had her since she was like 7 weeks. she is healthy and all. she was fixed about a month ago. well the problem, she has always been mean, aggresive I dont know what you would wanna call it. she is so hyper. there are 4 other cats in the house too. she is always pickin a fight with them or playing with them/ i swear people she is so angry. she always seems like shes mad or something. but I live withmy bf and his parents and they all love animals and we have NEVER ever been mean to my black kitten Zoey. she is jus mean. she gets all kinds of attention and everything. shes never been left alone more than a few hours. she is like jealous of the other cats or something. like when one of the other cars walk in or she sees them she will hiss or growl at them or attack them. she is very mean and I dont know whats up? any help here? and also, she isnt that friendly either. I mean the only time she is nice is when she wants to go to bed with me. but if we pick her up anytime she will growl hiss and bite and claw us. but we try to calm her down whats goin on? even when she bites me i dont hit her i jus point at her and say "zoey no~" i am not mean to her. neither is anyone else. shes mainly an indoor kitty. but she still bites and claws us.. any ideas? I mean she has like the world. she is very playful I guess over playful but anyone know why she is this way? lol sorry I wrote like a book but I love this cat to death so much and I wish she would calm down.. thank you in advance.. Mandy * Zoey

    awwww ((( Zoey ))))

    I have one catbaby like that....but he was a katrina rescue and was a feral...

    he puts up with me ...LOL...

    I accept my furbabies they way they are....I love them unconditionally...
    and the one that was a katrina survivor, really doesnt like me LOL..
    but I respect his right to have my safe home and let him do his own thing, and he likes the harem of female catbabies that I have...

    dear Zoey I guess has a bitchy personality....
    independent, and feisty...

    if you think it is a problem , you could try rescue remedy...
    its a natural aid to help calm furbabies....

    Hi Mandy....

    my katrina rescue catbaby is not mean..
    hes just not affectionate and he doesnt really like ppl...

    if your dear ((( Zoey ))) is mean..
    aside from the rescue remedy..

    I would also bring her to the VET..
    could be shes in pain or has something wrong medically....and thats why she is acting that way....

    I mean all cats have their own personality , for sure !!
    some are mushbabies, and some are very independent...
    but to be as mean as you are saying..
    if she wasnt/isnt a feral...
    to me..
    I would bring her to the Vet to get her checked.....
    make sure she isnt in pain or feeling bad which is causing her crankiness

    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.
