What can i do?

Storm
Storm

Hi my name is Diane Fernandes. My first question is about my 5 year old cat named Storm. I'm not sure exactly what type of cat she is but she has long white hair. She looks like those white kittens that you see on the towlet paper commercials. I've had Storm ever since she was a kitten. i wirked in a vet hospital before and someone had brought her in as a stray. Apparently they found her on the hwy. i took her home and I think i'm doin a good job in taking care of her. I also have 2 other cats. Storm is very resevered. she doesn't come out of our crawl pace to play. Every time me or someone else in the family goes to pet her she runs the other way. we call her the wild beast. she can get pretty mean at times. Why is it that after 5 years she still doesn't like the familt and wants to keep to herself. I don't know what to do with her anymore. I try holding her and petting her and telling her everything is fine and that i'm not going to hurt her but she still the wild beast I just can't tame.

    I do see this wild element more in cats that were taken away from their mum at an early age. It seems like this may be the case seeing as though you rescued her as a kitten. It may be an idea to consult a behaviorist to try and ascertain where these stresses may be originating from

    Every day I see pets come into my clinic injured and unwell. Its always so upsetting knowing that treatment could be taken a lot further only if the owner had taken out pet insurance. You have health insurance, so should your pet... Dr Brooks
