-Tigger- Mommy wanted to snuggle with me a bit and I didn't want to so I ran and hid. Well, sissy brought out the 'whip' play toy that she knows I can't resist and I went after it. Mommy swooped me up to hold me and I got mad and attacked her arms and hands. She tried to calm me down with her voice but I wouldn't listen and just growled and hissed at her. She then dropped me and I flew under the couch cause big sis, Lil Bear, attacked me soon as I hit the floor for hurting mommy. She flew into me with bared teeth and claws and hurt me. Why is it that if I don't wanna be held, I can't stand up for myself without one of my other brothers or sisters attacking me? I just snuck out from under the bed but going right back there soon as I'm done here.

When kitties act upset the other kitties attack them and try to drive them away so that the upset one will not cause attention to the rest and cause an enemy to attack. This is basic survival action. Mommy should not try to hold you when you don't want to be held, cats tend to panic when restrained and often scratch to get away. Mom get smart, it hurts to get scratched and if you do get scratched make sure you clean it well, cat claws are very dirty. Mom needs a cup of tea and kitty needs to left alone until calm is restored. Blessings

Just wait till I come out of hiding. I'm gonna really pester big sis (Lil Bear) for what she did to me. My wittle nose hurts lots. I used peroxide on any bites/scratches which stops the infection before it starts.

Tigger, tigger, meommies don't like to be bit and scratched - now, maybe she should KNOW that you don't like to be held - after all, she's supposed to be the smart one - I don't know why you don't like it, I don't know why Star, and Ronnie don't like to be pet either, or those 3 brats don't want the meommies get close to them, I love it I suggest you leave your meommy a note that she's the human, she should KNOW better!

I like to be held, on MY terms only. Mommy knows that but she was determined to hold me anyways. I feel bad that I hurt her but she wouldn't listen to me. I hope she doesn't decide to open a can of my favorte food cause then that wouldn't be fair when I don't wanna come out of my hiding place.

but your meommy should know its always on your terms, like my meommy knows its always on Gizmo's terms. She wants to pet Giz, she has hope he'll come to her. I'll see if my meommy can talk sense to yours.. Taj

Thanks Taj! Mommy did open a can of my fave food but I refused to come out. She put a plate under the bed for me which I ate after her and sissy left the house. Then ran under sissy's bed to hide way up in the corner. Mommy trying to make amends but I'm not ready to yet. She scared me bad and I did what came naturally. If she would of just picked me up instead of grabbing me by the back of my neck and hold me down first, I prolly wouldn't of minded.

Tigger is still at the vet's, gabs. They couldn't do the splint on Friday because sedating a cat for 2 days in a row can do more harm than good. He's getting the splint on Monday instead but is on pain meds. I could of brought him home today and take him back early Monday morning but we didn't have his room ready yet and he has to be contained so as to not injure his leg even more. I saw him this morning and he was just all over me wanting to go home. Purring up a storm and trying to hide in my shirt. I was torn leaving him there but knew it was for the best. His room/crate will be ready for him Monday, however. He gives hugs and kitty kisses back.

Aww--Tigger doesn't sound like you're having a good day... Pyewacket here, and my cousin Kissy is snoozing..what else? I realize your mom wants to cuddle you every once in awhile--goodness how can she resist such a handsome fella? My mom knows better...while I love to cuddle and snuggle with my mom, she knows not to pick me up too much as I don't like it either, and Kissy is another story...she doesn't like to be picked up AT ALL as she gets frantic for some reason Yeah it sure is unfair when the other feline "residents" attack you but I guess if you had taken a real stand and fought back your mom would be even madder at you. I hate to admit it, but every once in awhile I love antagonizing Kissy and go over to her as if to stalk her and tease her..oh, boy does that make my mom mad

Hiya Pyewacket...Still not ready to make amends with mommy yet. She scared me really bad when she 'pounced' on me and grabbed the back of my neck and held me down. That's why I fought back with her. Had she just picked me up, prolly wouldn't of minded as much but she KNOWS that scaring me like that brings back all those horrible nightmares from when I was a wee one. I was terrified mommy was gonna hit me or something else. Pye, when I saw that holy terrified look in Tigger's eyes/face, that's when I just let go and he dropped to the floor. I haven't see that look since he first came here and thought everyone was out to hurt him. I couldn't cuddle him like I usually do to calm him down cause he would of tore my chest/belly up as well. I hope he comes out and makes amends soon. Lil' Bear really tore his nose up when she attacked him for attacking me. I want to treat it but can't until Tigger makes amends.

Now Tigger you know your mommy loves you and would never abuse you like you were when you were a wee one Though this isn't really similar but it's about fear...my cousin Kissy is terrified of storms and have no idea why...why goodness, the little pitter patter of rain sets her hiding and poor mom has to convince her no harm will come to her, but she's still scared...wonder where that fear came from as she's always been a house kitty and never outdoors--so not like she ever got caught in the rain
