Hello everyone!
My cat Langston is a year and three months old male. I really love the little guy, and since I've had him I have been single and living alone. When friends would come over, he would be shy at first and hide. For a few select people, he would eventually crawl out from his hiding spot, but he would never want to be held or touched. He lets me hold him, but even when we're alone, he never lays with me unless I'm going to bed or waking up in the morning. Other than that he is normal and happy, always playing, looking out the window, and the occasional "midnight dash".
Now the problem is that I am now living with a girl a really love. When she first moved in, he wasn't neutered and started to mark every and any thing he could. I've had him fixed and the markings have stopped. My girlfriend is very nice and nurturing towards him, but he won't have any of it. He'll take treats and food from her, play with toys, but whenever she tries to hold/touch him, he hisses and swats at her. Can anyone tell me what I could possibly do to make him realize she only wants to be good to him?
