How do I stop being so jumpy around my cat? I've never had a bad experience with an animal but sometimes she just pops out of nowhere and scares the shit out of me.

its a fucking housecat. it literally can't hurt you.
>>2456628
are you the easily startled sort?
>>2456690
Not really
I should also probably mention that I just met her about 4 days ago and that she's still a kitty. My parents just picked her up two weeks ago.

A housecat with human intelligence could easily kill you in your sleep.

so could a human with housecat intelligence
>>2456717
but why would it

knowing some cat owners, it's not too much of a stretch of the imagination to think that some cats might have a bit of pent up frustration

Does your cat has access to go outside whenever it wants? My guess is that it disappears for long periods of time during the day so you're not really used to see it around you.

this is absolute bullshit. cat mouths are fucking filthy and their jaws are definitely strong enough to dig those little teeth in as far as they'll go. if it's a nasty bite and you're unlucky, it could get super infected and require hospitalization.
