Hey 👋 I have 2 tabby girls / sisters just over a year old . My youngest is autistic and can make quite shrill noises which startles them sometime but other that they laze around pretty content - not overly affectionate but happy to receive affection , one occasionally seeks it but the other one isn't bothered - this one has been a bit snappy lately , she hisses out of her nose if she's pissed off , like when she doesn't want her collar on (I get them in at night so take them off ) or if I pick her up off the table when we're getting ready for dinner.
She has started sitting at the window at night and hissing shouting at the neighbours cat that comes to taunt her , I've just been down to see what all the fuss was about and she's at it again scratching at the window hissing and shouting 😵💫 I've pinned some fabric right over the window but have done that before and she pulls it off.
My question is , how can I encourage her to be more loving ? If that's the right word , I'm concerned she's getting cranky and snappy , she sometimes recently has given a little warning either a swipe with no claws or a nip with no teeth if that makes sense . I'm worried 😟 I love her and so do the kids
