[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We got a new cat about two weeks ago. He's about a year old, and has been rehomed at least twice--the previous owner only had him a few months but then she got sick and couldn't care for him anymore. He is still settling in, obviously, but he seems to have developed a particular dislike for us walking by the couch. He will run and jump at us, and act like he is about to claw. This is particularly upsetting to my 6 yo DD, since she's much closer to his level. Any tips on getting him a little calmer? Clearly he feels like something is threatening him.[/quote] Trim his nails so that if he does claw someone it won't do as much damage. Spend a lot of time sitting on the couch and feeding him treats for being a good kitty. Ignore all threatening behavior completely. Eventually he will settle in.[/quote] Good idea, we tend to avoid the area but basically smother him with kindness is good.[/quote]
