Hello everyone!
I just moved in to a new place a few weeks ago. Before I moved in, my roommate was having problems. The cat, Harley, is an un-spayed cat that he took in after she had lived with some not-so-nice owners. This cat loves my roommate. He has been dating his boyfriend for some time now (many months), but a few weeks ago Harley started hating his boyfriend for no reason at all. Before that, Harley was perfectly normal and affectionate toward him. He hasn't done anything to hurt or harm her, and he hasn't been around any more or any less than he had in the previous months. He will walk in to a room and she will his and go crazy and run away. There was a situation in the kitchen (before I moved in) where he was cooking and she was just in there and she freaked out and peed EVERYWHERE and rubbed it on the walls. She has started taking refuge in my room now when Harley's original owner isn't here and it's just his boyfriend at our place. She is getting out of control and it seems to be getting worse. I don't think this situation has anything to do with me moving in because a) it started before I got here and b) she now takes refuge in my room when she is scared.
Why would Harley all of a sudden start hating her owner's boyfriend for no reason? Would getting her spayed help?
