Hi all,
Just wondering if you think this is completely normal or an over-reaction on lovey's part....
Last night BF went down to talk to the landlord..and while there, had a petting session with one of her cats...
Well, when he came back upstairs and then went to pet Lovey (just absentmindedly while he was talking to me), Lovey arched up, and began high pitched continued growling and hissing, and wouldn't take his eyes off of BF or daughter...They were standing close together at the time...
I realized what was going on and told BF to go wash his hands and told them both not to go near him...
Lovey didn't flee and calmed down soon after BF washed his hands...
BF says "well, we know for sure know that Lovey HATES other cats!"
Is this true? I don't know much of Lovey's history and was perhaps planning weeks down the line to adopt another...But is this indicative that I absolutely shouldn't or is it a normal reaction?
Thanks!
