Hi,
Cleo is my now...6 year old (I think). She was a rescue cat and has always had problems with strangers. However, lately she is also having problems with me. I never leave my cats alone in my condo with a stranger because I know it gives her anxiety, whereas my other cat loves everybody and greets them with a lick. The past month or so, there are days where Cleo will have nothing to do with even me and stay in my closet, only to come out to eat and/or use the litter box. Then some days she's super friendly and a suck and needing attention constantly. But then, like this morning for instance, she came to rub my legs so I picked her up. She then hissed, growled, and nipped at me. I don't think she would ever bite hard thank goodness. So I put her down and talked softly to her. I then left the kitchen and went to the couch. Once I was on the couch she jumped up on my lap and started purring. What the heck??
