Hi there,
I've had Genji for 3 years and counting. Recently, I moved in with my partner. Genji has moved house with me three times and each time, he's been fine. However, this time, he's started being aggressive towards my partner in a very short space of time.
The aggression is only provoked when my partner approaches him, and involves hissing and growling. Recently, he's taken to running away from my partner and hiding, either under the bed, or what's been strange, in his litterbox! It has not helped that my partner keeps punishing him when he growls or hisses.
We have tried to reward him when he doiesn't growl or hiss and when he plays with my partner. However, this has not worked, and Genji is only non-aggressive when my partner feeds him.
He still plays with me, but only without my partner around. If he is around, Genji does not approach me at all, and doesn't play. Instead, he prefers to sit inside his house all day and not move. He's not as loving to me anymore, and it's really making me depressed.
Please tell me, and especially, my partner what we can do! I'd like to mend the relationship between my partner and Genji, as this emnity between them is really putting a strain on my relationship with my partner, AND on my relationship with Genji!
