I completely understand why you're worried about your cat's behavior around friends. It's not uncommon for cats to be territorial or protective of their home and family, showing aggression towards visitors while remaining sweet to you and your husband. Changes in behavior like this can be due to several factors, including fear, stress, lack of socialization, or even underlying medical issues.
First, it’s essential to ensure your cat has a safe space to retreat to when visitors come over. This could be a favorite room or a cozy corner where they won't be disturbed. Consider using pheromone diffusers, which can create a calming atmosphere for your cat. Additionally, introducing your friends to your cat gradually, using treats or toys as positive reinforcement, can help build a more positive association.
However, keep an eye out for signs that might indicate a serious issue, such as changes in eating or litter box habits, excessive grooming, or aggression that seems to escalate. These could suggest a health problem that needs attention.
Since behavior can be complex with multiple potential causes, I recommend booking a video consult with Dial A Vet. Together, we can dig deeper into your cat's behavior and explore tailored solutions to help everyone in your home feel comfortable.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
