That used to be Ash's home, and he's still recognizing it as such which would be why he runs back there. It will take him time to adjust to being in a new home and recognizing that your place is his home now. I would see if the couple has any toys of his still that has the smell of the old place, and bring them into your new home. A familiar smell may help with the transition. To keep him from running away back there, I would not let him be outside alone for now. I hope this helps.

That depends on your dog. They are all individuals! Some dogs will run if you chase them. Some will stop and turn to you. Some will run regardless of being chased or not. I always try to squat down and call in a very high pitched voice. Hold out your hand and act playful. This is usually the best method. Find a collar that your pup cannot slip out of as well. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Fear aggression towards humans is a complex behavior issue, so it's really best to work with a professional who can help you in person if possible. Generally, treatment for this problem is based on teaching Maizy to associate good things with seeing people, to change her reaction to them over time. It can be hard to do this safely and effectively on your own, so I would recommend getting in touch with a veterinary behaviorist who can evaluate Maizy in person and help you get started on a training plan to work on this issue. I see that you're located in Crofton, MD - Dr. Marsha Reich is an excellent veterinary behaviorist in Silver Springs, which looks like it's only about 30 minutes from you. I would suggest getting in touch with her to see if she can help. Her phone number is 301-384-3900.

It sounds like he is acting like a typical friendly kitty. It is possible that he was once owned and that it why he is so friendly. He may have been lost or abandoned, but still has a pleasant attitude around people. If he is gentle enough that you could take him to a veterinary hospital or animal shelter, they could scan him for a microchip to find information on his previous owners. Typically truly feral cats are afraid of people and will not allow this type of contact with people.

Cats typically rub on things that they are trying to reclaim, especially when they are on inanimate objects. If you go away from the home, with Chandler, and then come back home, he is likely trying to reclaim his possessions in the home. : ) No worries, this is natural for cats to do. For future, here is a really good resource to get into the psyche of cats a bit more for your own understanding and pleasure. They really are very unique pets to have and bring fulfillment in many ways. Take care! jacksongalaxy.com
