Hi everyone,
I could use some advice on this behavior change. My 7 y/o neutered male doesn't want to play with our female 5mth old kitten anymore. She is due to get spayed in Feb. Our vet does it at 6 months. We have had her since 4 weeks old and everything was great. Playing, chasing, etc. We went to Mom's house for the holidays and everything was fine there too. Our boy has been there before and it was the kitten's first visit. When we got back home, his attitude changed. When she would want to play, he just hissed and started growling. He has never growled before. He doesn't mind having her around or in the same space. He is not chasing her or seeking her out. He just doesn't want to play anymore.
Any thoughts?
