Aggression toward other cats does not automatically translate into aggression to people.
Cat aggression could be fear and territorial issues.
Cats have their own little social network.
I know a cat who was an only cat and then when a few others came into the house she turned aggressive to them. She is loving to her owners and even sleeps in the little girls room.
Good luck with placement.
I exhanged a couple emails with Bruce. He was worried that if the agression became a problem he would be in a difficult situation of what to do with the cat. Although I don't think it'll come to it, I suggested he ask you about whether you'd be willing to take the cat back if it didn't work out. I thought you would be in no worse shape and we could all try to help you find another home. I really don't think there will be a problem with agression transferring to humans so I honestly don't think Annabelle will have to deal with being bounced around. And Bruce struck me as a very caring sensitive person who'll give a cat a loving home. I hope it works out. Laura
I have not heard from him again, but I hope he will give her a try. She is a sweetheart and I bet he will fall in love when he meets her. We sure did. I have worried and tried my best to figure out a way to make it work here because I hate to give her up. However, I keep coming back to keeping her would make me happy, but she would not be happy and that's just not fair to her. She was the last cat added, so I can't give up my other cats either. I am really in a bad situation and I want her to have a loving home more than anything. I am sure someone will come along who wants her. I have had one other serious inquiry, but they have never had a cat and are not sure they are ready to take the plunge. I have turned away several inquiries that just didn't give me a good feeling. This has got to be the hardest thing I have ever done! =( Thanks to all of you for your advice and support.
I can imagine how painful this must be for you. You're so good to be brave about it and think only of Annabelle. That's really hard to do. Laura
) Good luck finding a home for her! I know some one in LA who just loved Gizmo when he met him.. I would ask him but you said she doesnt quite get along with other cats and I know he has a cat already... =\ I hope things work out for the little one. Again, Good luck placing her.
