it took us a long time searching before finding our cats today.
they still are in the hiding under furniture phase and during the night found a hard to reach (and find) spot under the sofa. the only thing I saw was a moving paw as our new black cat moved further in.
Got a neurotic cat with the "flail every claw in every direction constantly" reflex when picked up, permanent or think there's any way to calm him down?
He's a lot happier than when he moved in, but picking him up is still an extreme no and he goes into feral mode when it's vet time.
I can get about 1-2 seconds holding him from the back (least dangerous place, but not safe) before it kicks in.
Parker played...? with both the kittens briefly this morning. He tolerated them then smacked back when they batted at his tail, then he left. Not totally mad, not totally fine with it either
We adopted a 11yo cat thinking we’d give her a comfy retirement. This was 6 years ago. She’s found a new phase of life: yelling at birds from the couch while cuddling a human.
