My cat was gentle but after moving its temper got bad; any advice?

A cat’s worse temper is mostly from unfamiliar surroundings and rebellion against the owner, especially right after a move, when it may act aggressively. Don’t force closeness — use a gentle voice to call it.

For a long-kept cat, try adding another cat as a companion to ease mood. Each cat differs; if temper is bad, don’t force disliked activities or scold loudly, which only irritates more.

Keep being kind and respect its wishes; over time it will feel it and resist less. Finally, check if it is in heat, when irritability and rebellion peak — spaying will gradually improve this.
