    My 7 year old cat Kitty Love, pictured in my profile picture, hates my best friend. He absolutely hates him. My friend came over for margaritas last night and was petting Kitty Love when Kitty Love snapped and bit him. This is about the 5th time Kitty Love has bit my friend. He doesn't bite anyone else except for my friend and he is the nicest guy in the world. He once even ripped his sweater and bit at his sleeve. Any way to fix this relationship? It's so weird that he only hates him.

    Does your friend have pets? If Kitty Love smells something on your friend that he doesn't like, like another cat, it could explain why he's aggressive toward your friend.

    Uhm this sounds like a really odd thing, I saw this happening once... but I must say I understand the cat in that situation. Mostly because the other person wasn't treating him very well. I'm not saying this is the case at all, but... maybe your friend stepped on you cat's tail by mistake a while ago? Is there a chance that could have happened? Cats seem to have a great memory!
