    Thank you to everyone who has read this lens, and for your comments. I lost my little Tim today - his picture is in the introduction. He was the last of his family; his brother Bear was run over in 2004, his mum, Sweetheart, died in 2006, his Aunt Tink died 3 weeks ago and he passed on today. I miss them all so much and it is a pain only pet lovers feel and understand. Grief has to be shared, and bought to the surface for it to be released, but it never really goes. As I miss my mum so too do I miss my babies, and always will.

    I love you guys. XX

    Dorothy, your cat is playing with you, rather like he would a mouse. If he grabs your hand play dead, keep it very still even if he licks or talks to it. He will get bored. And yes, he may feel threatened as he has no way of defending himself. You have to boost his confidence in his home, his space so that he doesn't feel so threatened. I will say that Siamese are rather a law unto themselves though!

    Bobbie - your cat thinks that she is pack leader. She is asserting her authority over you and the others. You can calm her down by putting her in a room on her own when she is being naughty (I used to call it the Slammer!). Cats, like kids, do need some time to calm down when they get in a temper, and it will also give your other cats breathing space. Food is another way to make you top cat - If you have something that she likes (Tuna, chicken etc - not cat food) make sure that you make a point of eating some before you give her any. It reasserts your authority over her - top cats always eat first. Cats can be trained, honestly, you will need to have patience though, especially when she is trying to force others away from you. You need to choose who is near you, not the other way round. If you are getting into real problems you may need to try proper cat training.

    Good Luck!

    I have just discovered this site and think it's great!! We have several cats that are very well behaved, except for one!Lucy!! She chases the others,nips at everyone, & thinks noone should be near me except her! I am at my wits end. Any suggestions? I've done all that this article says with no results....HELP!

    i have a siamese male nuetered,declawed[I din't do it ,he was done when I got him] he bites sometimes, and it seems to be for no appearent reason , I don't know if it as a sign of affection ,because he is purring at the same time , he licks first and then he grabs hold, and if you pull your hand away he will draw blood, I also wonder when he bites out siders if it is because he has no claws ,and that he feels threatened???

    Thank you, I think this is a wonderful kitty cat site. I will be back. Thank you for sharing. So sorry about your Tink, I also lost not one but two in a span of 4 months, I had them both for over 14 years as well. Very heartbreaking. Thier names were Ali girl and my Sami booy!! Tearfully, and thank you, Maryadona
