Hi all,
First time posting and just hoping someone can help out:
My wife (of 1 month now) moved in with me and my two cats (6 years old, both rescues, raised from 1 week by me) about 3 weeks ago. She brought along her dog (5 years old, shepherd/husky mix). The cats and dog are interacting as you would expect, no aggression, just some hissing, leave me alone behavior through the kiddy-gate we have up.
But, my poor wife...the larger cat (Tippy) is randomly aggressive towards her (hissing, batting, one incident of biting). She walks on eggshells around them and her nerves are getting more frayed. (The other cat - Panther - is just sweet; he reacts to squeaky noises, but only rarely. He lets her pet him and will investigate her without incident.)
I would like to keep my wife I would also like to keep my cats
Any thoughts? Help?
(Some additional information: Tippy is also mildly reactive towards anyone else in my house but me; will hiss and bat at visitors when they go up the stairs.)
Best,
Matt
