My name is Tweaks!

Tweaks is about 12 years old, found as a kitten when she was just a few weeks old. We adopted Tweaks and her bonded sister from Paws in Chicago where we used to live. Tweaks is quite anxious and skiddish around people generally, but will warm up to her owners. She likes to cuddle with me and my husband regularly. However, she has never managed to relax around our toddler, which is where rehoming comes into the picture.

We have tried many anxiety-reducing tactics, all with marginal results. All of the anxiety manifests itself in urinating around the house. Early in her life, it was manageable (like on an occasional blanket left on the floor), but messiness and loud noises seem to make it worse (everyday life with a toddler).

We haven’t made this decision lightly. Tweaks is a good cat, and we believe she would feel much more comfortable in a quieter, more tidy, and predictable home.
