Hello and please help
Four months ago, my longtime bf and I adopted a seven-month-old kitty. At first, she was smitten with my bf. She followed him throughout the house, always sat on his lap and her favorite spots were anywhere he usually sits. She primarily was his cat. Two months ago, something changed. She grew closer to me and became much less affectionate towards him. Going so far as to start hissing at him whenever he came too close and biting and scratching him drawing blood. We have been very perplexed by this as he is her sole feeder and she will still curl up and cuddle with him when he lies down on the couch for a nap.
Now we, have adopted another, slightly younger kitty. She has a much more affable manner and now he has become fed up with the first cat's behavior and has decided she needs to be "rehomed".
We've taken quite a few suggestions, but nothing seems to curb her desire to be aggressive towards him. After sinking her teeth in him recently, he has given me a week to find a new home for her.
HELP! This is breaking my heart.
