Hissing Tiger
Tiger hisses at just about anything. When he gets up on my lap (which
is often) he sometimes "nips" my arm. This afternoon, when he got up, I said "don't bite me" and he hissed (but he didn't nip). If I accidentally bump him with my leg, he hisses. I've given up trying to figure what he means by it. ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') |

Hissing Tiger
Has he been hand-reared, Mike? Hand-reared kittens don't learn how to deal
with frustration as well. There is a possibility he may be injured or in pain, so I'd always recommend a vet check.
