Ever intensely dislike a pet?

Post Reply New Topic

I have a new kitten (see Avatar)

Flakey brought her home from a friend's house.

She is a DEMON......
She poops on the floor in several different places that are hard to get to...to clean...even though she has a litter box that she also uses

She yowls incessantly.....meeeeeeew....meeeeeeew....meeeeewwww.....

She um....will not respond to being brushed away...she just thinks you are playing and comes back with worse intensity.

She is always always always underfoot.....

She WAKES ME UP EVERY MORNING AT 4 a.m. with biting and scratching and her harsh shrill mewing.


I swear, the only time I like her is when she is asleep.

My other cats can't stand her either.

No never, they just behave differently so it demands
some learning and understanding.

Guessing she wont respond to being brushed away
because she dont understand it. You have to see
it from the cats point of wiew, how it behaves,
that will help alot. Pottytraining, probably many ways,
myself i have always just paid attention to the cat,
every kitten i have had have always showed alot
of signs "i have to pee, where is a good a good
spot", then i grab them i get them into the box,
after a few times they just get it and go to the box.
One very stubborn little fury lady refused to get it,
so i waited until i saw she had to go, then i locked
both of us in the room where the box was and then
i waited. 2 freakin`hours that cat held it did not
like the box in a big way, but in the end she had
to go and after that she went to the box every
time.

Have to get the smell away from the places on the
floor she has done it, they just smell it and think
"ah this is a nice spot, I`ve done it here before"
salmiak and clorin and strong soap, (not togheter)
usually does it.

She looks young, she needs a little attention now,
and this is the time to shake off bad habbits in a
friendly way, try to understand why she does what
she does, maybe shes stressed about something.
And she`s a kitten kids make noice, soon she`s
all grown, enjoy it

Never one of my own pets, but, there have been other peoples' pets that I did not like, mostly over-agressive dogs and cats.

yes! My parents got a dog when I was young & we absolutely HATED each other. It never got better! Weird thing is I love dogs...but he was impossible for me to love. My dad also worshipped the ground he walked on, & I couldn't do anything right.

Hopefully, the kitten will be different. It's young, so be patient. It can learn better behaviors. Whereas my dad perpetuated the dog's bad behavior & encouraged it.

My family had a puppy when I was 16 and I hated him. He refused to go outside. He would go outside and when he would come in, he would go upstairs or to the basement and pee. he gave me tremendous anxiety and it drove me over the wall I went crazy finally which I will not say what I did. I will say I was breaking down.


The day the puppy slipped on some ice and slipped against the wheel of my Mom's Saab and died was the most wonderful day of my life. No more torture and misery.

I am sorry I sound so bad.
The kitten was sprung upon me unexpectedly.
I am sleep deprived from being awakend every night.

I have owned small kittens in the past but don't recall one quite so ornery.

poopylungstuffing,
bring her here to manchester,am will have her.

it could be both a kitten thing,and also part of her tortiness,as torties/tortie mixes do have a crazy side to them.

I have never disliked any of my own animals, even though I didn't like the bullying behavior of one of my cats.

I have been scared of other people's dogs on occasion, especially if they were very big and trained to be mean. It was mainly the people's training methods I disliked.

I had a love/hate relationship with a stray cat at my old house. He was a Maine Coon Cat named Mustache. I loved him, because he was very affectionate. At the same time, however, I really resented him, because whenever I'd go running in my backyard, he'd wait for me to pass him and then he'd run out in front of me. It startled me and made me very upset whenever he did that, as I consider any run in which there is an interruption to be automatically ruined.

Double post

The kitten is on a schedule where she goes to sleep curled up in Flakey's beard and then two hours later she wakes up and starts attacking me.
She comes at me with her little teeth and her little claws and there is no sending her back over to Flakey...she does not attack him....
She will repeatedly keep trying to bite my nose...

I try petting her and calming her down..and all she does is kick and bite and claw....so I get up...(she follows me)
If I lock her out of the room, she will start yowling
We still have power and I am still awake...on my kitten schedule...this has gone on every night since we got her.

I didn't like my hamster Klemens, when he was bought he was already adult and it wasn't that easy to domesticate him. Klemens was still trying to bite me every time I took an attempt to stroke him. I wasn't sad when he died, anyway hamsters' urine's odor is very unpleasant so at least I didn't need to smell his piss any more.

I also disliked one of my grandparents' kittens - she was extremaly aggressive, I don't exagerate claiming I'd probably lose my eyes if I tried to catch her.

Cats don't avoid the litter box without reason. They avoid it for reasons like its scent, it being too rough on their paws, or the unbearability of the way clumping litter feels while they are using it


it sounds like all the problems are caused by taking her away from her mother to young. Ie kittens taken away before they are 8 weeks old will bite and scratch because they were never given a chance to learn what biting and scratching feel like - they don't know it hurts. She also appears to have the energy level that young kittens get rid of by playing with their siblings. Which gets significantly less is they get older. Also if you took her away too young then she might not be old enough to realize she needs to go to the litter box. Mother cats typically do something with older kittens such as eat, drink, then litter immediately afterward.When you find the poop on the floor are you make sure to put it in the litter box so she knows thats where it belongs? adding orange scent to the areas she is using instead

If she's still waking you up then you are either doing something to encourage it or not doing anything to discourage it. Do you pet her, play with her, pick her up etc when she wakes you up - if so you are encouraging it. What you need to do is hiss at her and ignore her

I dislike pets of relatives that they leave at our house.
Example:

they come over to stay for a couple of weeks because they're moving into a new apartment and they need a place to stay for awhile, what do they do they buy a dog for their kid but the apartments they are moving into doesn't allow pets so what happens congratulation we just got an animal we didn't want and now have to feed because of them.

(this is the past and has happened luckily we moved so we had an excuse for getting rid of the stupid thing.)

"""getting rid of the stupid thing.""""


Real nice thinking, bet the dog thought you
were a stupid thing too - you are very lucky
it wasn`t the other way around, maybe it
would have been you someone got rid of

The stupid things in this situation are the
people that dumped the dog on you - people
like that should not have pets, ever. The dog
didn`t do anything, it was the victim in this.

No i've never disliked a pet. Pets mean more to me than some stupid animal thats supposed to do what you want. Of course she will poo anywhere if she isn't trained.

If you don't want to give your wee cat a chance, it's your loss. Let someone else have her. If you don't love her you shouldn't have her, it isn't fair.
