Some here might remember my post from a couple of months ago when I first took Lexi home. She was handed in by her previous family due to their existing cat being very aggressive towards her. She had been sitting in the cage at the pound for 2 months when I adopted her.
It took a little bit to get used to me but now won’t leave my side. As soon as I get on the computer, she jumps up and lays down at the side of the keyboard, which makes working difficult lol
I have a question for the community though, she seems very scared of all males other than me. She is fine with any women (she’s especially loves my grandma and insists we go visit her next door daily). Is this normal for cats to be scared of men or is it likely something happened to her at the previous home?
I have an orange male who used to wander on the streets of the old neighborhood with the very same behavior. The theory behind his fear of human males was the voice tone of them compared with the female voices. My cat was particularly afraid of my father-in-law, who has this loud and manly voice.
