          Is she spayed? If her hormones are still present that is going to be the biggest culprit. Getting her spayed will help with the aggression and some of the moodiness.

            If it’s not that, then it’s her basic personality. I say this because only this morning Samantha wanted attention and face rubs big time, was tooth purring when I petted her jaw. Then one inch farther back brought her whipping around at my hand with a growl. She has been spayed for a while now, she’s just like that. I ignore it, let go, let her leave me, wait, and sure enough, she comes back over and pushes the face into my hand for more. She just reacts roughly at a small provocation. It’s her personality. It’s pretty tolerable in a cute little critter like her. I sometimes think my friends tolerate the same in me when the mood swings strike.

            Get her spayed. It will definitely help. Stick by her. Her aggression will lessen with you over time.

              Hi guys thanks so much for the feedback, she is really loving one minute then like you say growling the next, i guess its the only way to help the situtation by getting her spayed, thanks again =)
