I recently adopted a 8 month to 1 year old cat from my local RSPCA she has some weird things that she does.....she is very shy hides alot and wont let me pet her i understand this will take time she sometimes calls me to get my attention and then sticks her tail in the air and moves it like a rattle snake then backs off when i approach any ideas what this means???? and also how to make her rehoming experience better and less stressful and hopefully become more friendly. She is semi ferral.....

Hi

Good advice!

I gave mine treats after teaching him to shake hands and come when I whistle when he was younger. Now a apartment cat he gets real pushy about the whiskas treats acting like a kangroo batting me for them. He loves them more than food.

Kitty grass is good for cats but be careful as catnip is in the bottom of the ones bought at the pet stores. I couldn't figure out why my cat was going nuts. He drag it out of the container across the living room rug.  I kept the others in the refrigerator and he was pawing at the door for them.

cats can be very skiddish. Once she know she can trust you and gets more comfortable she will ease up. Show her alot of attention and give her some good treats!
