now that you mention it she's opened up to women a lot faster for the most part. the aggression is new, but whenever I have a guy friend over she'll run away when they try to pet her. the only other boy she likes is my best friend and that's because she's known him for years. she runs away from some girls too though
It's actually pretty common for cats and dogs to have a higher trust in women based on early life experiences. If they were only socialized to women as kittens, men might seem scary and dangerous to them
Yeah, I've known a few pets like that. You can try getting some kitty treats and have your bf give her one every time he comes over and try to win her over with treats and petting, but that's probably a long process.
