So firstly my username is nothing to do with my cat, its from a previous thread and I xant be bothered to change it.
We have a 3 year old Male cat, always been so loving and such a big soft, hes used to my children picking him up all the time and pushing him around in their pram..very patient and loving.
3 months ago we got left with a neighbours 6 month old kitten, shes also very loving but obviously they fight.
We keep them seperate as much as possible but if their paths cross then the male cat goes for her, the kitten tries to be friendly with him but hes having none of it.
Since this week, he has been hissing and scratching me and my children too, we cant even pick him up..he seems frightened of us and I dont know why, we give him space and I've banned the dc from going near him so as to keep them and dcat safe, hes warm fed,healthy.
Is this because of kitten or could it be something else? DH thinks someone has scared him when hes been outside because he genuinely freezes and puts his ears back when we go to stroke him.
He has let me pick him up and I've checked to see nothings broken or cuts anywhere etc..but why is he so scared?
