Why is my cat so scared of people?
So my cat has never been abused before because we have had him since he was a baby. But every time he hears the doorbell ring or knocking on the door, he hides into the laundry room and squishes himself behind the washer machine. He stays there for the whole day and only come out to eat. We tried closing the laundry room but then he just finds another small space to hide. I have tried bringing him out to meet my friends but he just runs away and hides. He hates people except me, my dad and my mom. What should I do to make him more friendly to others???
Why is my cat scared of my red balloons?
Have you had your cat since she was born, or did you buy/adopt her later in her life? The balloons might look like or remind her of something bad that happened before you owned her. I once had a dog that was terrified of cardboard boxes. I think she might have been transported in them when she was a puppy, before I got her.
Why am I scared of cats?
If you are wondering that means there is no experience based cause behind your fear. Which would have been my number two guess anyways. My number one guess is always society based. Sadly many people have huge misconceptions about cats. And more sadly they teach those to their children.Cats are selfish and do not care about you. (They do not mind to attack you because they don’t love you.)Cats have huge claws that they use regardless of the situation or consequencies. (Claws = danger, rabies, hurt, loosing limbs).Cats are dirty and they are or should be outside animals and noone should touch them. (They carry all the germs and then claw you and you die of rabies.)Dogs are better than cats. Cats suck. (Read all above.)I could go on all day. Of course these prejudices are not true. If you have a fear not based in expereince than sit down and think back who in your family implanted the fear in you. You can get rid of the fear consciously. Volunteer in a cattery, watch cute cat videos, and when you are ready adopt a kitten. Kittens and adult cats can change your mind :) They are sooooooo fluffy :DP. S.: I am not saying a cat cannot be dangerous if they feel threathened. But 99% of the time if a cat attack the cat has given you millions warning which you totally disregarded. So a person who gets attacked by a pet cat is an unknowledgeable asshole. Cats usually communicate very well. They tell you what they want if you listen. I adore cats.P. S. S. No cat was hurt during taking the pictures. He was always closely superwised. The cup contains water.
Have you ever been scared of your own cat?
Not mine, but a friend’s cat. It was all very sad.I had a friend who had a beautiful little purebred Abyssinian named Cleo. She actually had a long, fancy name that was befitting a purebred like her, with a lineage that went back so far you could practically see the pharaohs at the end of it.Cleo was sweet and loving and loved to nuzzle and suckle on anything soft and furry. My friend decided to breed her once before getting her spayed, so she was matched with another purebreed and had four kittens. Unfortunately, three died, and they had promised one to the owner of the male Abyssinian, so they ended up with no additions to the family. But they still had her and she had my friend and his partner, and they seemed destined to be the stereotypical happy gay couple with their spoiled-rotten purebred cat with the rhinestone collar.She was healthy, too. That’s important to understand, because something snapped in Cleo’s head after that, and she went insane.She began attacking his partner. Vicious attacks, out of nowhere. Triggered by nothing. People coming over would be ambushed, stalked and clawed. There would be wild spitting and hissing. There was nothing playful about it, either - it wasn’t play-ambushing, or play-stalking. It was violent, and malicious. I was afraid of her, and I used to snuggle her right under my chin while she kneaded my sweater.She started clawing and biting at Greg, too.Then one day Cleo attacked his partner so viciously that he couldn’t get her off his bare legs. There was blood everywhere and she was clawing and biting so hard that they had to kick her to get her off him, and they threw her into the bathroom and barely got the door closed in time. Greg said she was throwing herself at the door so hard it was shaking, and she never stopped yowling and shrieking in rage. They said the wood on the other side of the door was just splinters.She finally calmed down enough - probably from sheer exhaustion - for them to get inside and get her into her carrier. They took her to the vet, and had her put to sleep.It was heartbreaking. They had no idea what happened. She just…went crazy.
I'm scared of children!!!!!!!?
I had two little kittens living on the porch, and I just brought them in. Four little girls came by and wanted to play with the kittens. I let them in the yard, and they had great fun with them. Then they wanted to see some other cats, so I showed them my prettiest cats, one a friendly Himalayan, and the other a striking fully white cat with one blue eye and one green. They came by twice, because I smoke on the porch. They wore those poor kittens out. The third time they came by, they brought some gray cat from god knows where and wanted to give it to me. I told them it was probably someone else's cat. They insisted it was a stray, so I told them that my outside cats were mean and would hurt it. Damn, it was hard to get rid of them. The thing is, I'm scared and annoyed by children, but I tried to entertain them to be neighborly. My mother said that the people across the street who hate my guts because I reported them for hitting their kids in the face, may call the police with an accusation of improper relations with a child. The thing is, I didn't touch any of them, and all this happened in broad daylight on my patio. My mom came out and met them and got their names. It's no wonder molesters use cute kittens and a white van. I have a kennel cage other neighbors gave me when they moved to a farm, and we use it so the inside cats can go out and still be safe. It's about five by ten. The four girls were playing with the cats in the kennel, so it's apparently not that hard to get a child to walk willingly into a cage. I find that frightening. So, should I be okay? I know I didn't do anything wrong.
My cat is scared of my boyfriend...?
I am in love with an angry man & he throws fits over just about anything which is very immature for a 25 year old. I realize this & I have accepted this & yes I do know he most likely will not change or grow out of this childish pattern. Something scared me yesterday. I haven't noticed this before, when we came home and settled in the cat was meowing. Although she already ate a few hours earlier, I told him to give her a treat or two. She came kind of close to him and when he moved she ran toward me. I grabbed her and told him "shes scared of you". He got very offended by it. I wake up right when my bf leaves for work. This morning I decided to pretend I was asleep just cuz I guess.The cat didn't know I was awake either. He called her in to feed her, which I do not him & she didn't move. He came to hug me goodbye while I was sleeping, then started calling the cat. She ran away from him. When he left the door she made noises then proceeded to wake me up. She ran to her food.
How can I scare a cat out of a large confined space?
A little more information would be helpful…is it a cat of yours that is hiding in a room of your house? Is it a stray that has gotten into a building that is normally closed? I’m going to guess it is something like the latter. In which, you are not going to be able to “scare” it out— it is already scared and has obviously found a place that it feels is secure to hide and wait out the danger. (To the cat, the danger is you, trying to scare it into the open.) A cat will not willingly come out from a secure hiding spot by attempts to flush it out with noise, etc.The best thing to do would be to leave the door or window open (or whatever the original access point was) and then leave the area, overnight or at least as long as you can. The cat will leave when it feels it can do so without being detected.If that is not an option, your local animal control or shelter should allow you to borrow a trap cage. Set the trap in the room with strong smelling food, like canned tuna, and water; cover the top of the cage with a blanket; and again, try to leave overnight or for several hours. When you come back, hopefully you will have the cat trapped and can take it where it belongs.One other sidenote, if you trap the cat, check to see if it is a lactating female. Just to make sure there isn’t a litter of kittens in her hiding spot. Frequently, this is why strays go into buildings they do not normally use—to have a good hiding spot for her kittens. If you are’t sure how to tell, a vet would be able to verify.
Im 13 and im scared im going to hell?
Why not focus, instead, on how much God loves you. Think about things like "For God so loved the world (and you can slip YOUR name in right there) that He gave His only begotten Son, that if you believe in Him (and put your trust in Him), you will not perish (in hell forever), but have everlasting life." Or also, "What ever is true, what ever is pure, what ever is lovely, if it is a good report, if it is praise worthy, think on THOSE kinds of things." Instead of focusing on the negative, focus on how much God loves you. (And just ignore the morons who try to tell you there is no God! God LOVES you with an everlasting love.)
Why do cats poop while fighting?
Sometimes they poop unintentionally, out of excitement, just as they pee for the same reasons. Even humans will sometimes soil their pants out of excitement. Sometimes cats poop instinctively to make themselves lighter so that they can run more easily if they have to flee. Sometimes they poop to make themselves unappealing and hopefully persuade their adversary to leave. Sometimes they poop to identify themselves by their scent to their adversary. Perhaps the most ingenious and yet repulsive motivation is when one cat will spray diarrhea in the other cat's face, with pretty much the result that you would expect if it were done to you. Generally the pursuer stops pursuing. This is done more often than you might think, as I have learned by having to wash the behinds of cats who have come home reeking of fighting and believe me they are foul.
