Why does my grandmother's cat hiss at me?

by Brandon

My grandmother's cat hisses at me every time I move. But when I’m on the couch, she comes over and rubs against me and I brush her and give her treats.


But once I get on my feet she immediately scurries away and hisses. She lays on the steps so I have to step over her and she hisses then, too and doesn’t move. It’s a love hate thing I guess.

Your grandmother's cat trusts you, or she wouldn't visit with you and let you brush her when you're on the couch. Maybe she doesn't like the type of shoes you wear. She may have had a bad experience with someone. Maybe someone stepped on her once and she's remembering that when you move your feet.

What happens if you wear different shoes (or take off your shoes)?
