My cat Sifto is a generally laid back kinda guy. But lately when a certain friend of ours comes to our apartment he has been attacking him.
He has attacked people in the past but it has generally been people who admit they don't like cats and have been patronising or teasing him.
Nikko isn't an aggressive or fear inspiring guy. In the past the two had gotten along well. Now, no matter his approach or if he keeps a respectful distance, Sifto goes to Nikko and hisses and takes swipes at him. Yes, he does have cats. Two male cats. This didn't seem to be a problem in the past, but I guess things have changed.
Any idea on what we can do to handle this situation? When my boyfriend tries to hold back the cat the cat then turns on him. He gets a firm no, and maybe a squirt with the water gun. But he still doesn't get the idea in his head that he's doing something wrong.
