I found a sweet female cat at a rest stop, I assume she was dumped there. She was skittish but you could tell she wanted human interaction so my friend and I coaxed her over and within a few mins was able to pet her and even scoop her up. I ended up deciding to take her with me since it was not safe for her to be there with all the cars and semi trucks.
I brought her home, got her cleaned up, fed and her and realized she is pregnant. She will be seeing a vet Tuesday. Anyway, she seems sweet most of the time but is like a Jekyl and Hyde. She was laying on my stomach and clawed me a little too hard (nails need cut asap) so I let out a loud "ouch!" And she jumped down, hissed and growled at me before darting away. As I began walking down the hallway where she was, she hissed again. I let her be and she eventually jumped up with me and was lovey. She's hissed twice at me as I placed her food down for her. I am not most knowledgeable about cat behavior, I currently have one but he's very mellow so this kind of behavior is new to me. I have am 8 year old son at home and don't want him hurt or anything. Is this most likely pregnancy mood swings, fear, stress?
