my friends hissing cat

Question
Dear Karen,
I am feeding my friends cats while she is away.  This is the second time I've done it.  They know me and are very "bitchy" cats to begin with but now I'm sort of afraid.  She's hissing at me and swatting at me!  She doesn't have claws but should I steer clear?  I have duty for two weeks!

Answer
Hi Paula,

She is exhibiting fear aggressiveness. Ignore her and go about your business. She doesn't have claws so you don't have to worry. To overcome her fear would take longer than the two weeks you have to take care of them. If you wish, get some Feliway Confort Zone and use that in the house. It might help. But I would just do your thing there. Good luck.

Ciao, Karen
