Hi all, I've had my cat since he was a kitten (he's 7 now) and he's always had trouble with having people over. He HATES cat sitters, friends, family-- anyone who comes over, he gets SO annoyed. He'll put up with them for about an hour and then after that, he'll start following them around the apartment when they walk around, yelling at them and gradually escalating into scratching/biting their ankles and feet.
It's so obnoxious I usually have to close him in the other room, which is okay for a while but makes me feel guilty and also, I've been wanting to start dating lately but I'm legitimately afraid of what will happen if I start having people over, much less if they want to spend the night. And forget ever moving in with a partner at this point-- I used to live with roommates and oh boy, did he hate them.
Does anyone have any advice or have gone through a similar situation? I've looked this up online many times and watched every episode of My Cat from Hell and nothing really seems relevant. He gets tons of interactive playtime, so I don't think it's play aggression-- it's legit "get out of MY house" aggression. Ugh.
