Hi everyone. I could really use some reassurance and advice from some of you knowledgeable folks!
To make a long story short, I trapped and took in a boy and girl feral we started feeding, both believed to be brother and sister, both about 4 months of age when taken in.
Neutered them then set them up in my finished basement with food, beds, toys, etc. I had been feeding them wet food in the am and kibble in the pm. For the wet feelings I was sitting with them while they ate. I made such great progress in the 4 months they have been with us that I am able to pet the girl kitty (Sally) while she eats with no trouble and just recently pet the boy kitty in the side of the face( Brad Jr. ) he hisses and doesn't like when I pet him on top of he head.
The past two days have been rather confusing. Brad Jr. had been acting very aggressively and won't let me come near him without him hissing, spitting and coming at me with claws bared!
What could have caused this change of heart in him? We were just getting ready to bring them both into our living space but I'm now afraid he will hurt my boys (4 and 7) or my little 4 lb chihuahua.
Any advice will be GREATLY appreciated.
