My boyfriend got a cat, Ginger, a few months before we met, so I'm sure the cat is jealous that I'm in the picture now. Ginger used to be socialized before he got her, but now she's only used to him and doesn't like other people much. I have a dog who adores my boyfriend and likes to play with the cat. Sometimes Ginger will run away from or scratch my dog when she tries to play, and other times Ginger will scratch/swat my dog as my dog is walking by.
Also, very rarely, Ginger will allow me to pet her and will purr. Most of the time she recoils or leaves the room when I'm there. She sucks up to my boyfriend even when she's been a brat and clawed my dog or me. My boyfriend tries to be fair but usually blames my dog more because she's bigger.
I love animals, but this cat drives me nuts. I swear she's bipolar. I'm sure she can sense now that I don't like her, but I still make an effort. Anything I can do?
