She forgot about me!

Question:

Hi again, Hairball, I forgot to add, maybe you didn’t follow proper cat etiquette. By that I mean, maybe you were so glad to see your old friend that instead of averting your eyes and ignoring her, you rushed right up to her and greeted her like old (human) friends do–with hugs and kisses, and she got spooked. I’ve found the best way to greet a cat I haven’t seen in awhile to get down to his/her level, don’t look directly at him/her and start talking. Soon, they recognize my voice and probably my scent and they come right over for a head bump and a pet. At least that’s what my sister’s cats do when I visit them. The bolder one comes first, then the other two. Teresa

it is the same scent I already had when she first arrived here… and all she did then was to cover it with her scent by rolling over me… :) )

hummm… no :) I would have liked to, but I couldn’t: first time we re-met, she was already in the home we shared for the holidays and I had my bags and my cats carriers to put down… so it was actually half a hour before i could even say oh, hi! and when she came here on Sunday, her human had her carrier, and we had to rush to set her free, and avoid her to eat her daughter, and set up a toilet and some food for her… so she had all the time to sniff around… :) )

<snip> Hello, I went through the same thing when I moved out of my parents’ home. They kept my cat, Mies, as company for their own cat. My belief is that it’s a defence mechanism in animals. Their brains can’t handle the pain of separation so instead they block you out. You no longer exist in their world. Mies still treats me like a leper although it’s been 8 years since I lived there and I see her once a week. I wouldn’t take the snubbing personally :) Renee

Response:

My hunch would be that you have your cats’ scent on you and she DOES remember those cats! If you were to stay around at her new house for a day or so, I’ll bet she’d remember you–her foster mom– and go right back to being a backpack. Just give her some time. I love cats, but I realize that they have a brain the size of a walnut and they aren’t intellectual giants. Plus they’re very territorial and you probably have cat scent on your clothes. Teresa

Cat behavior experts give me a light! Last spring a friend of mine found a pregnant stray. The special thing about this cat is that she deeply trusted humans, and she was very sweet and cuddly… so she couldn’t be left on the street! Cally has been fostered in 3 different homes before moving to her fourth, and forever, home. She has had no problem adapting everywhere, you could even put her on the leash and go to public places with her… Luckily enough Cally’s adoption happened within our circle of friends, so all the "foster aunts" can still see her from time to time, even if we are all in different (and distant) cities. Now, what really upsets me is that she has been with me for the longest time, and I really fell in love with her… I had to let her go, because she didn’t get on with my cats, but i would have paid not to have to… so you can imagine how happy i am when I can see her… but she doesn’t seem to remember who I am! She doesn’t let me hold her, or cuddle her… and I wonder why, considering that she has lived 80 days of her life in my lap or hanging on my back like a backpack… What do you think is the more believable explanation? a) I hate you because you sent me away. b) I won’t be friendly to you because i don’t want to be parked again. c) I don’t need to be extra-friendly anymore because now I have a forever human to take care of me. ???????

It took my cat Amigo a couple of years before he stopped giving him the cold shoulder when I left him with my mom. The first time I came back to visit, a few months later, he scratched me! He had NEVER scratched me before. I cried because my feelings were hurt, but I understood. It has taken some time, but now that he has bonded with my mother, I can play with him and pat him and he acts like he always did with me, though not as close. Maybe she’ll forgive in time and with visits :) Karen
