When a cat hisses, he’s trying to tell you something. It’s important to discern whether he is being defensive, aggressive, or frightened. A defensive or aggressive cat may attack; a frightened cat, unless cornered, would prefer to run away. ~Cat’s Paw, chapter 24

That illustration is furr-tastic! That kitty doesn’t look like he is one to mess with! My neighbor kitty hisses at me, but I think she’s just playing hard to get ’cause she comes to my front door often. Mew Mew.
I like the illustration too. Though he’s sweet as pie, my new kitty, Tyler, hisses at times. We think it’s because he doesn’t hear well and is surprised. Little hisses at Tyler when she wants him to play.
