Question
hi my name is cammie and iv been lila for 2 years now. she s always been a complicated cat, she doesn t like people at all . she used 2 be a lot nicer 2 me but recently she s been just terrible, if i try 2 pet her she hiss at me , she bited and scratch me ,she doesn t even use her liter box anymore, sometime she sits there for hours and she looks so mean and unhappy. the only time she gets sweet is when i give her a treat. she NEVER cuddles and refuse 2 let me hold her anymore, and she only come lay next 2 me after i fall 2 sleep at the end of my bed.
im just not sure what to do anymore.

Answer
Cammie,

It sounds like she is unhappy and bored. She may be miserable being an inside cat. Some cats love being outdoors and do not adapt to living inside.

Also some cats are not friendly and affectionate by nature. Has she been spayed? That could make some difference on her behavior. The way Lila is, is her personality and that is not going to change much.

I don't want to recommend it, but maybe you should find another home for Lila and get a cat that is sweet and affectonate that you can cuddle and play with. There are alot of them out there that would love to have you for their 'mama'.
