Is this a sign that our cat is too agressive to have around?

Asked by Dutchess_III (46835points) September 24th, 2014

It started yesterday, when Jayden got a couple pieces of American Cheese out and the cat stole one. The cat is about 2 months old. At first it was funny, seeing this cat fly around the house with the cheese in his mouth and Jayden chasing her. Then I realized the cat was growling angrily so I told Jayden to back off so he didn’t get scratched.

Today the cat picked up a Cheezit cracker that 11 month old Zoey had dropped. She was crouched on the floor eating it, growling the whole time. Then she took it into the kitchen and resumed eating it. Zoey toddled by and the cat snarled and hissed and scratched her. Zoey wasn’t trying to take the food or anything. She was just walking by.

I’ve had lots of cats in my life, but never had a cat that I felt was too aggressive to be around kids so I’m kind of at a loss….
