 like sometimes she hisses, sometimes scratches or bites me (but as long as i show now emotion and dont pull back my hand she doesnt actually push trough to hurt me)

anyone ever heard of this? any cat pet vet behaviourists in ze house? 

it's so weird, and she does it specifically after seeing the hair floating away.. not during petting.. so it's not pain.. and my vet says no idea either πŸ˜‚

wad hek man, maybe just regarded like me? perchance.

bet she thinks I'm the one making her shed and stealing her furr 

poor regarded unsocialised kitty

 My dog Mosha sheds a lot, a "feature" of pugs. If I'm giving her a really good scratch and she notices a lot of hair shedding off she moves away, like she's worried it's all going to come off πŸ˜†πŸΆπŸ’œ
