General CAT-ter (The Beanery)

Gardening Kitty!

(Thanks to my sis for sending this to me and making my day)

 

Ladies, gentlemen, and distinguished persons of all genders, I give you a blog devoted entirely to images of cats on scanners.

 

Thank you for this vital information

 

Hello I'm having a lot of feelings right now so I'm gonna channel them into cats rather than getting super pissed

Here are two incredible gifs of a cat in the snow. Look at the ears

 

Those ears, I wanna kiss them!

excellent cat.

 

Your hair is lovely! Your cat is too

 

hmm, any tips for how to get a V. Shy Floof Catte to be more comfortable around me? She mostly lives in one of my roommates' rooms since she's frighten of the other two cats, and if I enter a room she's in she either flees to her Safe Space in the closet or, if I'm verrry slow and sneaky, will allow me to approach and gently give her chin scritches for varying amounts of time. Today, since she was released to the larger section of the house (all three cats are kept separate from each other on account of one is an asshole, one is Frighten Catte, and the third would just get hit by Asshole or scare Frighten Catte). On a whim I left my door open and she came exploring and sniffed around my room for a while while I sat very still, didn't look at her as she crept around my field of vision and quietly typed on my computer, but the moment I even slightly shifted position on my bed she was like 'nah' and zipped away :C

Anything I can do to help ease the process, or should I just proceed as before?

 

Do you ever watch "My Cat From Hell?" Watching Jackson Galaxy should give you some good ideas, he deals with shy and frighten cattes a lot.

Part of the problem is, of course, the relationship issues between the cats.

I would suggest having whatever sort of food she likes around and also doing slow-blinks rather than not looking at her, maybe...?

 

Sitting at floor level/layng on the ground and letting catte come to you is also good!

 

Also doing something that isn't Paying Attention to the cat, after you've greeted her with slow blinks. Play around on your phone or read a book or something. Less intimidating, and interrupting a human is known to be irresistible :P (that's a joke but apparently it does help?)

 

I attracted my husband's family's shy cat by being quiet in his vicinity and knitting. He loves string, so he was enticed by the yarn and came over to sit at my feet and tried to play with it. I was being quiet, not making sudden movements, and also interacting with him in a way that he enjoyed. He is now much less shy, even with people who aren't me!

Spoiler: cat behavior question

Any bright ideas about how to stop a cat (not this one, one of the others in the house) from pooping under my roommate's desk? Mind, 90% of the time she goes in the box just fine, but at least once every few days? poop. under her desk. And ONLY her desk, her brother's desk is in the same room. Hell, back at their old apartment, cat ALSO pooped under her desk there too. Surely there's gotta be some kind of deterrent or psychology to apply?

 

Pick up kitty and apply punitive hugs.
