Hello
I am new to this site with a question I am hoping that someone can help me with. I have two Burmese cats. A boy, Nelson, who has just turned 5 and a little girl, Zoe who just turned 3. They are indoor cats who never go out. We also have 2 outside dogs (this is the background to my problem)
These two love us and each other to death and we rarely have any problems with them. We have had both since they were tiny and if anything Zoe usually seems to prefer Nelsonâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s company to ours.
This morning though, something strange was going on. When I got up I noticed that Zoe was hissing and growling and spitting at Nelson. She only usually hisses at the dogs from the safety of the back screen door. Nelson was very freaked out by this – as was I, I have never seen her do this before? I picked her up to check if she was sore anywhere and she hissed and spat at me, she seemed Ok though. My husband has recently started working night shift and so when he came home he noticed the same behaviour and rang me at work to say she was still hissing. She was winding around his legs and being friendly to him but whenever Nelson would appear she would act strangely and hiss at him again. Apparently now things have settled down and she is not hissing at him anymore.
I just wanted to know if anyone has any ideas on what is going on as this has never happened before.
Thanks!!
