I live alone and Harley has been with me for almost a year now (almost her whole life!) and she's absolutely adorable with me. She plays, she purrs, she nuzzles...and she was like this with my ex-boyfriend, who was also around from the very first day I brought her home. Now, several months later, I'm dating someone new...and my shock was visible when I saw Harley hiss and growl for the very first time at the new man in my life. He's been around for months, but her hissing and hiding continues while he's here. The moment he leaves, she's fine again.
I thought Harley's behavior had something to do with being alone with me for so long, so I decided she needed feline companionship, and I brought home six week old Paxton to join our little family. Harley hasn't tried to hurt little Paxxie, but she continues to hiss and growl at her, which doesn't faze Paxton in the least. She just sits there and ***** her head at Harley like she's the funniest thing she's ever seen. I don't know what to do or how to make things easier for Harley, Paxxie, my new boyfriend, OR myself! Please, any advice would be wonderful...I'm ready to pull my hair out!
