My cat is named Cleo. My ex's father was fascinated by Egyptian culture. Cleo came into my hands, after someone gifted my ex's father, diagnosed with cancer at this time to him after expressing wanting a cat. I ended up with Cleo, cats have always been part of my life, and their hope (not by me, but some) that my cat could calm him. Cleo, as lovely as he was, full of rapture and glory, (otherwise known as brat) would scratch the shit out of the one with cancer. It came a time, when it was too much.
I took an attitude, idea, let him in. I like when the are bratty (mostly) and if my cat (who had lived with the daughter) can help. Those two cats are now a beautiful pair. One remains feisty, but the larger cat, calm, knows how to dominate in an instance. [i]I'll just pick you up by the scruff.[/i]
They may offer us more than we know?

@thewindupbirdchronicles Well that's good you didn't give up on the poor thing and tried new things. If you didn't have that other cat around to compliment the feisty one, I would have hired a cat behaviorist to see what else I could do to calm that feisty one. Usually people just give up and give them to high kill shelters where they'll likely be euthanized, poor things. But I'm glad things worked out 🤗

@SatanBurger They did work out. They are best friends, those cats I described. I will keep in mind, if I ever get a cat I can't habitat, create home for, I'll remember your expression and ask you.

@thewindupbirdchronicles I'm not a cat behaviorist so I wouldn't know but there has to be something at least. I was mainly just expressing that I'm glad you didn't give up on the feisty tiger kitty.

@thewindupbirdchronicles He's probably thankful and knows 🤗
