@georgeduke Thank you so much for this :) I look forward to being the almighty god of hotdog treats. Also thank you for the practical advice with the stroking.

@ovixs90 Thanks for the helpful reply! I think they acknowledge that it’s not right but I kind of make light of it and laugh it off because I don’t want them to be put in an uncomfortable position where they may have to choose between us (talk about setting yourself on fire to keep someone...

@chrissiems Thank you for this :)

@obadimu Thanks for your reply. He jumped up onto the sofa next to me and I moved my face closer as a ‘hello’ without thinking, I know I shouldn’t have done it. I understand that he probably doesn’t always want pets from me and that his growling is a way of communicating that. I’m just so...

@taikamiya720 I really like this advice, thank you :) I will suggest this to them!

I also want to add that he is worse towards me when my landlords are home. He will often follow me around the house and wag his tail, and will listen to commands like sit from me. I don’t think his eyesight is that great and I’m taller than both my landlords; the day he went for me unprovoked...

@forgiveness44 Thank you for this response, it’s made me feel a lot better and you’re totally right. I wouldn’t blame him for wanting to protect his new happiness!
