Apparently my cat is evil

[Sephiroth]

At least according to my sister in law, because my cat always hisses and spits at her on the very rare ocassion she sees her. My mom seems to be inclined to agree, since my cat drew blood from her on Christmas Eve. And being the sadist I am I actually find it amusing how much it seems to agonize the two of them that my cat is hostile toward them. To it is just, what do you expect? The only person she is used to seeing in my apartment is me, everyone else is an intruder to her. But my mother is a major animal lover and it torments her that there is a fuzzie that just doesn't take to her.

It's not your cats fault that it can sense the evil intentions of your guests

All cats are only adorable and lovely...

This is true. They say pets can sense evil within a person. So you might wanna watch your back around them.

Cats are nature's natural assholes, and all of them are Devil Spawn only looking to cause mayhem and wanton destruction.

Meanwhile, water is wet and the sky is up.

(And I like cats, so imagine the dripping sarcasm of someone who don't like 'em.)

Course mom also says I frighten her because I sometimes call the cat "M'love" when she whines at me. She says it sounds like the cat is my girlfriend, and I tell her "Then what I hear about relationships is true-because she b:/-$!s at me all the time and doesn't sleep with me."

You should try to acclimate your cat to visitors, if not for the sake of your mom and sis, then you ought to for the sake of the cat, who probably would be less stressed out if it isn't lashing out at everyone who comes in as some kind of threat.

ALL CATS ARE EVIL THIS IS A FACT

Bare in mind the circumstances: I worked OT on Xmas Eve, but mum wanted to have a get together. So she, her husband, and my grandmother went to my apartment while I was at work and were waiting for me when I got home. My cat has actually behaved well around visitors in the past-but that was when I was there to greet them. Having a bunch of strange people barge in when I was not home probably freaked her out because she thought they were intruders.

To your cat, that's not your apartment, it's hers. All cats claim their homes as their territory. That includes any humans residing within, which is why cats rub themselves against their owners when they see them. It's a way of marking what they regard as theirs.
