I have a very weird cat behavior scenario to present to you all. I'm curious if anyone has EVER experienced anything like this.
My cat has met my mother's boyfriend three times. For some reason, Professor Growleypants hisses at every interaction. He often hisses at new people to assert himself, but usually he gets over it after a few minutes when he is used to them, and generally by the second or third meeting he is used to the scent and couldn't care less. He definitely hisses more at men--probably because he lives with three women.
However, the WEIRD thing is that every time the boyfriend has come over the cat has ended up BARFING. This can't be a coincidence--three times! And my cat is a rare puker, he's a short hair, and the only other circumstance in which he's puked has been when the cat sitter fed him the whole day's food at once, rather than the multiple small servings he's used to, and he's gorged himself on it all at once. Could the cat be barfing on purpose to mark his territory?? Any ideas on this cat mystery?
