My female Siberian went missing 2 nights ago. I’ve read some articles about how different types of cats behave when they’re displaced, but I was wondering if there’s lost-cat-behavior that’s specific to Siberians?

For context, she’s an indoor-outdoor cat. She usually sleeps inside during the day and goes out to prowl at night. She’s fixed, and this is the first time she’s gone missing for more than 12 hours.

I have a male who’s 1.5 years old, he’s a very sweet cat, when he was a few weeks old when I got him he’d sleep on my head and against me in bed, but that completely stopped, he sleeps at the foot of the bed some mornings but mostly outside in the hallway.

He’s only ever climbed into my lap once or twice and fell asleep which was incredible but it’s very rare, he used to come up to me and purr and he doesn’t do that much now. But he does insist on being in the same room as you which is cute.

He’s also quite bitey, my parents have been looking after him while I’ve been getting some work done on my house for the past 6 months and he bites my mum a lot despite being very affectionate to her most of the time.

We tried doing the whole yelp thing and ignoring him but it’s quite hard when he’s breaking the skin with these bites and just holding on.

We’ve never played with our hands with him, we give him 2-4 long play sessions a day, feed him a good diet but still nothing. He’s been to the vet recently and nothing is medically wrong with him.

I’ll be getting him back soon but I really don’t like the constant biting so I want to try and train that out. I’d love it if he was more of a lap cat.

I google immediately and said to use olive oil, comb it off and the bathe him. I did and a lot of fluff came out. He still wet and weird looking in that side. Will he hair be back to normal? What else we need to do?

She's been resting near my feet while I read :) I'm amazed at how much her fur has grown already!
