Malibu may not be the friendlist cat, however, she has never really been aggressive. When I was roommates with Adam, she didn't exactly care for his cats, but she was certainly civil. All this said, I can't believe what happened on Saturday. We were outside working in the yard with Denver and Malibu, and the neighbors cat came walking up to our gate. Apparently, he has been having some behavioural issues lately, so they were hoping the new environment would help. Regardless, he immediately started growling and hissing at us, which in turn, caused Malibu to go birzerk! Her tail puffed up, she started hissing, spitting, clawing, the works. So, I finally got her into the house, but it didn't stop then. She was on the offensive and even started to chase Matt when he turned around to leave the room. Quarantining her to inside wasn't really doing it since we needed to get in and out as well, so I was able to chase her into the guest room downstairs with a broom. For another 5 hours, she wouldn't stop growling... Even while I was giving her tuna!
So, finally we had to leave and decided that she would just stay there until she calmed down. When we returned at 12:30am, she was crying to get out and since then has been sweet as pie. I guess she realized how bad she was and was trying to make it up to us??

Animals certainly do strange things sometimes!
Tiger has done that before (I've seen it twice, I think) when another cat invaded his space. That's why we couldn't foster that black cat last year...and why I was so happy Oliver's adoption turned out so well! Isn't is sad when cats cry?!
oh how scary!
