56 h. ago ‘She treats everyone with a deep growl’: can you train an angry cat to be more sociable?

My kitten, Split, is terrified of people and not much fonder of other cats. Is there anything I could do to soothe her? I consulted the expertsMy cat Lucy, a blue Burmese, is the fluffiest, most adorable little feline in the world.

The sad truth is that most people with ‘bad bosses’ leave, but it’s early days and you want to make it work, so here are some options you could pursue• Every week Annalisa Barbieri addresses a relationship problem sent in by a readerI’ve recently shifted careers and started a new job in a big company, which is great in terms of salary and professional development. But as I approached the end of my trial period, my manager told me she’d taken a big gamble and put her reputation on the line for me, given that I’d worked freelance for years. She was clearly insinuating my probation period would be extended, despite colleagues telling me I’d exceeded expectations.She has a very odd management style and speaks to people of all ages as though we’re lazy teenagers, whereas we’re all very driven and pretty senior.
