Marty hissed at her and his hiss is very soft. He and Ralphie will both growl and yowl at each other in the last year as he tests the waters and wants to be top cat. He will now chase Ralphie when I don't remember to trim his claws regularly and I hav actually heard Ralphie hiss and spit at him once or twice this summer.Marty the Manxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05802674568278041885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-91230989122590607372016-08-13T23:10:42.870-07:002016-08-13T23:10:42.870-07:00Gram Paw sounds like he was an impressive beast.Gram Paw sounds like he was an impressive beast.John Bellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10946140614088069665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-41473692337841222002016-08-13T23:10:08.049-07:002016-08-13T23:10:08.049-07:00That was my Tungsten.

When Eric died he hissed at me and Ivor all the time but just to let us know he wanted to be left alone. It was very upsetting for us and felt as if he was blaming us, but I think he was dealing with it in his own way. He never hisses at us now.I had never heard Eric hiss ever.Memories of Eric and Flynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07895995542393169845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-30531273227056106312016-08-12T05:41:28.340-07:002016-08-12T05:41:28.340-07:00We agree with Mr. Puddy.

Turns out it's not the shy ones or the cranky ones, it's not the introverts, or the timid. In my house, it seems to be the more confident, centered ones, ones that prefer not to engage in physical confrontation. They'll stand their ground, give "the eye" and hiss. Confrontation ends there. They communicate their likes and dislikes very well.Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01172029625828982319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-52861969288543105292016-08-12T04:25:14.012-07:002016-08-12T04:25:14.012-07:00Your descriptions of your cats behaviour always ma...Your descriptions of your cats behaviour always makes me smile. Both of our cats were not hissers. Linus was like your Josie, very easygoing. Sam hissed at intruder cats only. Sonya, one of my Siamese cats growing up was the runt of the litter but oh my, could she hiss!

However, she is more "hiss than bite", and after voicing her opinion, she will run and hide rather than have an altercation.

Mom said she couldn't remember when is my last time =^x^= I probably arched back with spiky fur for 2 seconds to the intruders... That's all about it .<br /><br />But the interesting one is one stray cat here. Mom gave her food but she hisses mom but followed. Her body doesn't arch back. So mom thinks she probably doesn't know how to meow. Because most of people here, they doesn't like cats.<br />Mr Puddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09024839895877150953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-57225475611896115512016-08-11T15:34:14.848-07:002016-08-11T15:34:14.848-07:00I love how you describe your cats, and all their i...I love how you describe your cats, and all their individual traits and idiosyncrasies. <br /><br />Annie was a big hisser (at Nicki all the time, Derry less often), but the boys aren't. Once in a while I'll hear them hiss--Nicki at the vet this afternoon, for example, being approached by a curious dog. Derry once in a while, a soft hiss that just seems so funny, coming from his teddy-bear, meek self. :-)Fuzzy Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09505853082591216696noreply@blogger.com
