Now, onto Philly's issue. He's what we describe as a "grumpy old man" to our visitors. Philly came with my live-in boyfriend around 5 years ago. From the get-go he's hated my kids. They can be walking down the hallway and Philly (being a black kitty) will hide in the shadows and hiss, growl and strike at their feet. He's broken the skin hundreds of times. It's not only my kids, but any kids, some adult visitors as well. He used to hate me but over time he's learned that I'm the one who feeds him, brushes him, and before i go to sleep at night, it's MY side of the bed he lays on. He's a beautiful guy and all my kids want to do is pet him or brush him. He'll allow it for a moment, but once he sees it's the kids, he'll backlash at them. Any suggestions for easing the tention between siblings?
