Is it normal I try to overpower my cats?

  • What do your cats do that cause you to pin them down? 15 minutes is a long time, especially to the cat.

    • To be honest it's mostly when she hurts me. Like scratch bites stuff like that but I could resist that it wasn't that bad. (And btw she doesn't attack because I'm being mean to her but rather to play. Ex. attacks my feet under the blanket stuff like that) What really drove me over the edge was this past week she had medication to take because she was sick. Obviously she didn't want to take it and she would bite, scratch, run away or chew up the pill so it wasn't edible anymore. Obviously it's not her fault and the vet did say the pills were disgusting and she probably would fight but it just pissed me off so much so I got really pissed and that's what happened.

      • By your actions you're really helping her to love taking her meds even more, eh?

        Get help. Do not take your psychological issues out on her or anyone else. Statistically, people who have violence issues with people often show this behavior first with animals (imtimidate, overpower, have control issues with...)

        This isn't minor because it "only happend a couple times" or because you were able to "control yourself" or whatever. It's abuse. Treat it as such.

      • I see where you'are coming from. My cats tend to mess with everything in that playing they do with their claws.

        Just wondering, but do you hide the pills in her normal food, or do you just try to hold her and make her swallow it?

        • The vet specifically said I had to hold her and make her swallow. So that's what I do.
