We adopted our Siamese boy two years ago and he's been great. Recently however, he's become more and more possessive of me. He's coming up for s 8 years old so not a young boy...he's had a check up at the vets and he's in good health.
He basically won't let anyone near me when he's sitting on me...and since he sits on me the MOMENT I sit down, this is awkward.
He particularly has a problem with my 5 year old DD and growls at her as soon as she comes in the room or near to me ..yowling, low warning growls. If she comes right up then he almost yells at her and then runs away....if DH sits by me on the sofa, then the cat smacks him with an open clawed paw which naturally offends DH.
The cat has never hit the DC....but he will almost bark at visiting children. He's extremely affectionate to me and expects to sleep curled up by my stomach under the duvet nightly...if DH gets in bed then he gets in between us!
Is there a way of making him learn to share and perhaps not sit on me EVERYTIME I sit down? If people visit and sit around my kitchen table, he takes a seat too and joins in the conversation...just peering over the top of the table!
