Help with my Catattitude! anyone with cats:O) please help...

I have a 12 week kitten with sooooooooooooo much Cat-attitude

She Love love loves my hubby! but hates me with a passion, and I don't no why
I have tried being the only one to feed her like the vet said. Nothing!!! zip!!! zero!!! still squeals at me with intent to do major harm to anything that's sticking out of your jumper!

Mum said to me, brush her every night (she medium haired) then give her a treat, and try and bond with her....
Again got more chance of going on a pic-nic with a tiger!

I am worried she is picking something spiritual up around me, as she runs away if I so much as look at her, and the only time she follows me is for food!

Any advise on how to tame this savage beast of mine...?

Hiya spirit72

Have you tried ignoring her?

Cats can be incredibly vain and will do their utmost to get your attention. Especially if you show indifference. It's worth a shot.

That was a good suggestion, squatch. I read this earlier and couldn't think of what to say.

I was just thinking maybe she should wear catnip somewhere on her person at all times ~ heh.

You are trying to brush a kitten? No wonder she has issues with you...

Sit or lie down on the floor. Ignore the cat. Read a book. Give it half an hour. See what happens. Better, report it here :)

True. And they are an amazing animal to share a house with.

Ignoring is wise...no eye contact - or look like you are falling asleep when you do.
(I also have a 3 month old kitten I've had a week...she thinks my thyroid is her pillow...)

There is a book - ''How to Get Your Cat to Do Anything You Want It To"
Warren Eckstein
The BEST!!!!
After Chapter One you may see a change in her.
Good Luck - and cat treats are good, yes.
Speak to her sweetly and low, also.

Ignore the kitten and when she shows interest in you hold a treat out to her

Interesting. My cat insists on climbing onto my chest when I am in bed, then pushing her paws into my throat over and over until I get mad and push her away. That's the thyroid all right.

I'm lucky mine was not taken away from her mother too soon, so she doesn't do that kneading motion - and she never claws me even a little - she is so sweet and so is her mother.

She is a gray, tiger long hair - so I called her Blackie.

She is starting to bat my Chow mix's head and tries to smell her dish when she's eating- luckily my
doggy ignores her, but looks at me saying, "Whassup? Can't you do something?" telepathically.

I would stop her before you get mad with a firm, No, a
few times.
Note: it works well with men, also. (I mean people..)
