Ok Alphonse is a 14 month old male Siamese. He's been neutered, but he's still very much so an alpha cat of sorts, he has a very dominant personality. Now, he's always had a lot of difficulty with my Sister whenever she comes to town and visits, lots of hissing, he stalks her around the house sometimes to keep her in line. My Sister always says that it's probably because he smells her cat Pierre, also a Siamese. This never seemed like a valid claim because he's smelled other cats on me before and never made a fuss, and he's met strangers before who have their own cats as well.
However, she was over at her friend's house tonight, her friend has a cat who was all over her. When my Sister came home, Alphonse was miraculously receptive and even friendly with her. All of a sudden it's starting to make sense, the cat my Sister was with tonight was absolutely a female. I'm wondering if he just doesn't like the smell of other male cats. Like I said, he's an alpha cat, it would just make a lot of sense to me.
I'm wondering if there's any validity to this. And if so, I wonder if there's something I can buy to neutralize this, maybe a pheromone spray of some sort?
