Semi lighthearted 😂
So I've had my little cat for five years now, she's a rescue cat and is simply adorable. Love of my life and I definitely spoil her - you know the drill: great expense until I found the exact right combo of wet and dry food she prefers, grooming, playing, a huge selection of treats, door service to let her in and out of the house when she wants, etc.
She's always been a scaredy cat around others. Hides when people come over, is distrustful of my partner (who is perfectly harmless and kind to her and who also lives with me and has done for years).
I went home for christmas and left him and the cat at home. Apparently as is always the case, she was fine, slept on his legs, accepted cuddles, etc. But now I'm back, she's back to doing the thing where when he walks near her she scampers away like her life depends on it, if he sits down on the couch with her she meows loudly and jumps off, literally runs away whenever he comes near!
Why is she still doing this after five years of peaceful coliving and especially when shes fine when I'm not there? It's like she doesnt like him but has absolutely no reason to! He says it's because shes just being precious and is spoiled - do you think there could be some truth to that? Hes not even one of those loud bellowing men!
