Hi my mother adopted a 6 year old female cat from a local rescue about 2 months ago, the cats history was her owner died and family members didn't want a cat so brought her to the humane society, she got adopted right away but returned a month later due to her being aggressive towards their other cat. My mother than adopted her and is in denial about her cats sudden mood swings. She's a nice cat she will come up to everyone who visits and wants to be petted but will turn on you. You can be petting her and she will lash out scratch you and hiss and growl, you don't have to pet her for her to do this i just looked at her from a few feet away and said hi she lunched at me hissing and tried to scratch me. My brother was installing ceiling lights on a ladder and the cat approached him and hissed and tried to attack him. She will go from a nice happy kitty to an angry cat from petting to just looking her way and completely unprovoked she will seek you out. My mother tends to go in denial with everything and she keeps saying it never happened or it's the visitors fault she told me i shouldn't have looked at her that's my fault. She will turn on my mother also but she pretends it never happened. Could this just be the cat still getting over the stress of loosing its owner going back and forth to new homes? I started bringing cat nip and the cat loves it she now goes straight to my purse for cat nip when i come over, so i always make sure to have it with me. Any ideas about this cat iv never had a shelter cat only kittens so i was thinking this could all be due to stress of her life changes.
