My cat is 14. My son is 8. She is a tortie with a bit of attitude. She doesn't waft any adults but she insists of wafting/scratching my son when he walks past her. He is nervous of her and I suppose she is nervous of him. I try to get them to bond by sitting with them both and letting him stroke her. I suggested that he puts her food down on the floor. He won't walk into the room if she is in the doorway. But he past her tonight and she swiped at him again. I know he was probably an annoying toddler but he is a big 8 year old boy now. Can anyone suggest what I or he can do.
