Sorry to post another Q! We've had our cat for nearly 3 weeks. She spends a lot of the day on the windowsill out of the childrens reach, popping out to socialise occasionally. I am a bit flummoxed by her though. She comes to us for a stroke/brush (has realised it's quite nice!) but after a minute either bites or scratches us (very minor injuries....so far). I could understand if she wandered off then, if she'd had enough I mean. But, she carries on purring, rubbing us with her head and cuddling - as if she still wants a stroke (which, for the sake of our fingers we've usually stopped doing at this point!).
After starting a tongur in cheek thread about her parenting skills, I am now starting to wonder if this is really what she is doing! Does anyone have any ideas as to her behaviour? What does it mean? Is there really a new mummy in the house and we therefore are her brood?
