Hey guys, I'm back after a week long move - I'm so exhausted but everything is finally unpacked and the place looks decent! I have a dilemma tho...
The other day, my fiance's 5 year old nephew came over and wanted to see the cats. They had been in the upstairs bedroom while we were moving and so I took him upstairs. Max started hissing at the little boy - who he has never met. And the boy wasn't doing anything, just standing with me. So I said "No Max" and then Max started whimpering/whining... like a puppy does. I've never seen anything like it.
We've come to the conclusion that maybe Max lived with a little kid before who pulled his tail or something... however what happens if I have kids of my own one day? Is there anything I can do to get Max used to kids?
Oh and in case you were wondering... Baylee was also a bit nervous about the kid too. No hissing... she was just a bit crouched to the floor, as if she was scared.
