My Chattie has what is classified as "redirected aggression". She is extremely protective of me and when I am sitting at my computer, if ANYONE speaks to me she will attack Chizzie and a fight will occur. What Chattie would REALLY like to do is attack the human who dared to speak to me, but since she doesn't dare, the next best thing is to attack Chizzie.
Knowing this, we are working on soliving the problem. Everyone in my house has been instructed to call out and "warn" me if they are coming close to the computer so I can be prepared to thwart an "incident". We are having great success. |
