Defend her self ?
How ? She's a cat a small animal.
There is No excuse Ever to allow this, don't be "nice" about it, tell your cousin and her monsters do Not bring them to your home until they Stop abusing your cat.. This is Not acceptable..
She's, not mad at you, but confused, scared,and if it continues she will turn on you perminently, she won't know Whom to trust anymore..
She smells these monster/brats on you is my guess. So, even though she knows you, she is smelling the hurt on you.
Defend her, she will catch onto this too, she will know you are rescueing her.... Trust me she knows..
Be extra patient and loving to your baby, your cat, don't push her to come to you, when she feels safe again she'll come to you.. Talk to her gentle, and effectionete, tell her she's a good girl, a sweet, good lady cat, beautiful, compliment her, she loves this..
Cat's maybe can't understand all the words, but they Know anyway, you are being nice, they will respond to your voice tones.
Let her be a cat, let her come to you. Or, when you do pet her, watch her body language, like when move her ears go down, it means she has had enough, or her tail swishes, or snaps like a whip..
When you see her breath easy, and relaxed she is purring, even from a far.. She knows..
When she finally comes to you, pet her, gently, find her favorit spots, behind her ears, her neck too,under her chin, and be gentle,the same way she brushes on you, mimic her movments, but on her. Ears, neck, like a gentle massage, cats are lovers, even romantic, love gentle hands, but not tickling.
Let her smell your fingers, open hand down, then offer a pet. If she flinches, then just say ok kitty, calm her. Try again, if not, she'll at least know you are trying. She'll come to you..
I Love Cat's I am a cat woman all the way.
I love dogs too.. But, something special about cats..
I don't know what state you live in, but animal abuse spells a loud and clear warning as to the kind of disapline and respect they are being taught and learning at home, Or, that they will be abusive when they are adults. These kids need serious help!!
Now it's a sweet kitty cat, Socks, this is Way bad enough, but how will they treat people who are defensless as well say seinor citizens, or people who are disabled in a way they can't defend them selves, younger children too??
It is,Anger, hateful and just plain Sick.....
Don't be shy, be bold defend your cat, or any pet you have..
You are their voice, they don't have....
If it dosen't stop don't allow the kids to come to your home, and report them to the animal authorities.. This Is animal cruelty....
It is against the law and must be stopped,

Your cousins live with you well try this on for size. Every time they kick her or hit her pick up socks and start to hand her to the one that is kicking or hittin or whatever and as you hand the cat to them don't hurt the cat by any means but hiss at the cat and hand it to them just a little rougher then they want. The cat may hiss too and do a little scratching and biting. You are now teaching the cat to defend herself by jumping on them and biting and scratching. She might get the hang of it. Again she may not be old enough to be crabby yet either. As she ages she may find hiding places to stay in most of the time and when your cousins kids start in on her she may leave some scratches and bite marks. Good luck in teaching her how to defend herself.

Your kitty is afraid of those kids. Cats are usually naturally scared of small childeren because they are loud and unpredictable. They need to learn the correct way to act around animals. All 5 of my kids wanted to pet cats when they were little kids, but the cats always ran from them. It was my job to show my kids how to be quiet and calm around animals. Now my big kids are all cat lovers and cats love them!
Here's what I suggest: go to your local $$$ store or thirft store and buy several stuffed animal cats. If possible, get one for each of the kids. Kids love to pretend. Tell each kid that you are going to have a contest to see which one can take the best care of their kitty. Show them how to let the cat sniff their hand, how to gently pick it up and how to pet it correctly. If they pick it up by the tail, ears, or neck, tell them they lose a point. They also lose points if they step on their cat's tails. If they mistreat your cat or anyone's pretend kitty, they also lose points. Offer some kind of a reward: small toy, candy, ice-cream, etc. to the winner (hopefully they will all win!) Have the contest last for a week or two. Some of the kids may be too young to understand the rules, but they will copy the oldest kids.

Teach the kids to respect animals. Try to help Socks redirect her agression but playing with her (I have a felt butterfly attached to an elastic cord hanging over my door that my cat loves). Make sure your not rewarding any bad behavior.
Don't take it too hard, Socks just doesn't know how to handle the kids and is taking it out on you because she's more comfortable with you!
Good luck!

Well yeah she's gonna attack you--you're the only one who doesn't kick back!! How in the h--l is a kitty supposed to "stand up for herself" against a bunch of heathen children!!?? And why would you want her to attack Thinking you best give her to a home where she'll be fed, loved, and allowed to snore on the couch! idiot!!

She'll get sick of them eventually and do it on her own. I'd tell the kids that if they can't be nice to the cat they can't come over. It's your house lay down some rules. You're her owner it's your responsibility to protect her. She might not fight back because they are KIDS, animals treat kids differenlty than adults!

I study this two times. the form you layer longer tale-correct prose is admirable, and a few thing I even have lots concern with. you're making it look elementary, organic, yet all human beings who write understand the alternative is real. I in lots of situations degree the effectiveness of slightly by using the form of TD's........Jealousy rears that's green head. Kudos to you, Mr Carney.

You can't if it's not in her nature. Just keep her in your room away from those little monsters when they're over...or tell your cousin you don't want them in your house torturing your cat like that.
You're her owner, that means it's your responcibility to defend HER...She's not a dog.

You should stand up to your cousins children for your cat or better yet your Cousin.. that it is NOT ok for them to be doing that to your cat; and your cat may be lashing out at you for NOT standing up for him..He is your furkid he looks to you for protection and love, not to have you let someones kids hurt him, DO NOT ENCOURAGE your animal to do anyting aggresively against anybody!

she scratches you because you dont kick her, she wont fuc with them because they DO kick her and step on her, I would suggest telling your cousin either they can disipline the kids or you will and if neither of those is a option then they cant come over if they arnt going to respect your cat.
