Does your cat celebrate St. Patrick's Day?



Mr. Personality
With patience and gentle coaxing, you can help your kitten overcome a shy personality.

I know you give both cats equal attention but make sure they each have enough places to escape, that there are plenty of vertical areas (such as a cat tree or a window perch), and that they each have adequate space at the feeding station and the litter box. It's a good idea when you have opposite personalities to set up two feeding stations and more than one litter box as well. This way, the more timid cat won't feel as if he's going to be ambushed by the other cat.

Best,

I have a cat that is so shy she will not come out of the bedroom I have had her 2 years now and still she runs when I walk in the room. Please help me calm her down.
