Hey everyone, My name is Tyler and i'm new to these forums.
I just finally give up and need to ask for help in a matter with my two cats. Ive had my first cat, Angel (Female) for about 2 years now. I got her from one of my friends who had babies. Since day one she had always been very touchy and some-what aggressive, Just hissing ang swiping randomly.
For the past two years, she has on occasion hissed and scratched me, but not too much. Other than those rare times, she was one of the most loving cat ever, would sleep w/ me, etc.
A couple months ago, my girlfriend, whom I also live with, decided since I had a cat, she wanted one of her own. I thought it would be a great idea because when my girlfriend and I go to work, Angel will have a friend. She went out and got a 6 month old cat who she named Oliver(Male) from one of her friends whos cat had had babies. Both cats are yet to be fixed and have shots.
My issue here is with Angel(female), my 2 year old cat, MY cat. Like i said before, she use to be rarely upset and easily. I first started to notice her change when I was sitting with her on my bed petting her, and she was puring. She looking very relaxed and calm. In the blink of an eye she snapped and hissed and tried to like scratch me. She than ran away and when i tried to go toward her she started hissing like crazy. She started doing this more and more frequently as this new cat was here. we've now had both cats for 4 months and My cat Angel, will barely ever let me touch her. 4 out of 5 times she will hiss and try to bite and scratch me. She is like this with everyone, except the new cat Oliver (Male) with who she loves. Lately I've started to spray Angel with water when she snapps like that, but now its becoming unbearable. Everyone i know and that knows her calls her a Bitch, and i know its actually true.
Can anyone give me some information as to why this is happening and what can i do? Any help would be great =)
Thank you for reading this whole story
P.S.
My girlfriend went out and got another cat because her kids couldnt even pet my cat because she would snap and scratch and hiss at them at times.
