We have had Molly for almost a year. She is 9. She has adjusted perfectly with us... independent yet requests lap time and brushings.
Do any of you have cats that are attached and sweet to you but aren’t predictable around strangers and if so what is the protocol of instructions you give the sitter? I will have her come over obviously a few days before we leave ... she’s a pet groomer and I know her family and she will stop in 2x a day. Last week I introduced Molly to a friend and as my friend was petting her ...Molly hissed (friend has 9 cats lol so could have been the scent plus she was stroking Molly kinda heavy). A neighbor came over and Molly didn’t hiss but walked away from neighbor petting her. At Christmas she growled at my mom but finally relaxed after mom was here about a week. I’m hoping since the sitter comes and goes Molly won’t feel as threatened but I hate the fact she won’t have human touch for 10 days yet I don’t want to worry about her doing something like biting!
