I have summer guests, well a young couple renting the garden level of my house, during the summer. They are both terrific however the male really likes my cat but doesn't seem to be interested in reading her body language. In retrospect I realize she was spending alot of time in my room and this morning when we got up and started downstairs, she was very very reluctant to come eat breakfast. She kept sniffing for him and wouldn't go near him. at one point she even hid in the corner. She has never hid before unless she was playing. I asked him is anything had happened yesterday and he said no, but clearly something did happen. I wish she could talk. They have left for a four day weekend and she is visably relieved to have the house to herself again. Will I ever find out what it is? I have hid her dangly toys from him so he will stop trying to get her to play. He teases her alot and uses a low voice. I always let her get what she is hunting for eventually and I think she prefers high perky voices. He also wears cologne, something my husband and I don't do. She isn't interested in the young woman either but she doesn't keep trying to engage her whereas the young man does.
Am I being too protective and weird? I don't want her upset or afraid in her own home. But I think telling him not to try to play with her or touch her would hurt his feelings. ACK ! HELP!
