Hi,
I have a two year old female siamese cat Blue (seal point), she lives in the house, but she follows me in my studio outside the house or if I am doing something in the yard she is always by my side. She loves being around people but has no tolerance of other cats in general, and hasn't been mating even when she had periods.
She has been hissing on the neighbour's dog and sometimes follow it hissing at it till it went away.
Two weeks ago I brought a little puppy, and as soon as she saw Charley her motherly instinct mode was on!
At first it was very sweet, she would lick the puppy till it falls asleep and she would look after it and call it wherever she was going.. she would get upset if she is sleeping in the bedroom and the puppy starts crying in the middle of the night and the door is closed.
A week ago some very large dogs went pass my house and surprisingly in the second she saw them she immediately went after them screaming and chasing them trough the neighbourhood. I was shocked because of the size of the dogs and wasn't expecting her to go after them like that, but luckily they didn't fight back, actually they were terrified.
Yesterday a big dog came in the yard and she attacked it very aggressively, this dog didn't run away, but lied down covered it's head and cried as she scratched and bit it's back
I ran towards them and started yelling, then she jumped scratching and biting my leg, I pushed her and started running across the yard realizing she is behind me chasing me!!! It was just horrible! When I got in my room within seconds she was just outside the door scratching and meowing to get in. I instantly cleaned the leg (she cut and bit me real deep), the wounds dried fast and no sign of infection. I am getting a Tetanus vaccine tomorrow morning.
Of course I let the cat inside... she is acting normal, no trace of aggression.
I'm wandering is this overprotective behaivour usual?
I read somewhere that in a case of a cat fight you should intervene with water..
