Bonding With Your Cat

 

Have you recently adopted a feisty feline? Is your new pet very nervous around you, or even aggressive? This isn't uncommon, especially with cats that weren't socialized and/or have been rescued from bad situations.

What you don't want to do in this case is try to force attention on your pet. Understand that it may take your feline pal time to get used to you. And, your kitty may never be a cuddlebug. That's fine, though: many cats are perfectly happy just hanging out with their humans.

Offer lots of kitty luxuries, such as beds, boxes, furniture, catnip, toys, and treats. If your pet doesn't care to be touched, just talk to her. Use a soothing, friendly voice. Chances are, she'll thaw out in time.

Be sure to ask your Veterinary clinic Sarasota FL for advice on keeping your kitty happy and healthy.
