Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / July 2006Hissing Tiger
Tiger hisses at just about anything. When he gets up on my lap (which is often) he sometimes "nips" my arm. This afternoon, when he got up, I said "don't bite me" and he hissed (but he didn't nip). If I accidentally bump him with my leg, he hisses. I've given up trying to figure what he means by it. ---MIKE--- >>In the White Mountains of New Hampshire >> (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') Has he been hand-reared, Mike? Hand-reared kittens don't learn how to deal with frustration as well. There is a possibility he may be injured or in pain, so I'd always recommend a vet check.

Absolutely. He is not hissing for no reason at all. > Tiger hisses at just about anything. When he gets up on my lap (which > is often) he sometimes "nips" my arm.

I've given up trying to > figure what he means by it. sometimes I get like that..Really <eyes popped out when I said really> if I am in pain, I don't want to be messed with if you rattle me, it could hurt so I warn, don't touch me I read your post, my first thought is.. he is having to live with pain my second thought was, it's a pressure type pain, one that requires him to be still in order to avoid the pain Good luck He was at the vet for "shaving" three weeks ago and had a complete blood check - all normal. His hissing is nothing new - he has always done that. It's just his personality! ---MIKE--- >>In the White Mountains of New Hampshire >> (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') > He was at the vet for "shaving" three weeks ago and had a complete blood > check - all normal.

It's just his personality! so his personality is one to continually warn you? it's a threat that he might bite you? kick his a.s one time stop taking crap off of him run him off your lap, stomp your feet at him hurt his feelings one time you don't appreciate him trying to intimidate you after all the good things you've done for him ask him "what the hells your problem?" you know, give him some of his own medicine be firm with him I think he's sick of you being a wussy with him he's out of control and you don't love him enough to stand up to him it's a form of rejection, the message is.. I don't love you enough to correct you. cause you're scared all Tiger wants is some love yule see a whole new tiger once you stand up for yourself your cat is begging to be put in his place and he resents that you don't care enough to kick his a.s Pay the man on the way out! ------- ps, if he comes back still hissing.. better leave him alone he might bite the hell out of you, ya'll got issues! cats kicking mikes buttox!

You equate abuse with love. > This is really sad. You equate abuse with love. that's not abuse it's calleld standing up for yourself just like Israel is doing against hezbollah they shoulda known better than to f.ck with crazy jews they got just what they should have expected but they are ruled by their emotions and hate and racism I don't give a sh.t if mikes cat has contempt for mike what do I care I am unbaised none of my cats hiss at me mikes cat has the potential to do substantial harm to mike physically you would let a cat do that to children? you would let a cat terrorize a child? I wouldn't you surprise me cybercat > > This is really sad.
