Hi, I'm a new cat owner. My cat's name is Delia and she's 1 1/2 years old now. I got her when she was only 8 weeks old.
I have a problem with her getting along with company that comes over to my apartment (which is fairly often). She seems to deal with 2 or 3 people in the room just fine, but as soon as more people come she starts to get neurotic and hisses at almost anyone that tries to touch her. She also will bat at them with her paw but she NEVER has used her claws to try and hurt anyone nor does she bite. She's just EXTREMELY vocal about her dislike or discomfort. I don't know what to do about it... with me and my roommate, she's totally at peace. She just refuses to trust any strangers at all it seems. Any advice on how I can get her to calm down?
Oh, also, she has a habit of wanting to suck on my ear lobes when she is snuggling. I would have thought she'd outgrown this by now... is this normal? Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
