Thanks everyone I did change my work clothes before i sat down with him - i always do !  So maybe he was just in a  funny mood.  It was just really strange cause he was circling me and purring whilst i was stroking him and talking to him .. Unless id touch a nerve or hed just had enough !

It could be your office clothes and you didnt look or smell like you 

Just be patient it will all work out. 

Misa when he was new growled and flattened ears back and prepared for a full blown attack when he saw me in an aussie hat and reckon he had bad probs in the past with someone in a hat.

Or Aussie's

Mogs used to bite me all the time when I first got her. I guessed she wasnt used to attention and didnt know how to let me know she'd had enough so she'd thump me and wrap her mouth round my hand. I used to expect blood but she never actually drew blood so it was just a warning. Now shes fine she just walks away when shes had enough although that tends to be quite some time after I have 

Amber has only hissed at me twice once was when I brought Mogs back from the vets and she decided Mogs was an intruder so we both got hissed at. The other was when I picked her up and she had cystitis and must have had a sore tummy. She was on the way to the vets at the time though so I had to pick her up to put her in the carrier even though I felt bad.

I would assume its part of getting to know you and you being out and smelling different. If it continues though I would get a vet check just in case

Do you smell different ... had you been to the petrol station, used different hand cream, different soap, touched another cat?  There is a strong chance you just didn't smell like "mummy" which is why he hissed.

My thoughts too - some cats smell first and ask questions later!

Perhaps I'm just over cautious (coz I'd worry if our Thomas did it) but hissing isn't something I've come across unless there is a wee problem? e.g. an abscess or something? Does he need a pal?

There you go Betsy. Explanations on how a cats mind works. (Well, as much as is possible in this case. )

Star bit me a few times when I first had her, she is a bag of nerve and was very neglected in her old home so I think she just expected people to be horrible and got in first!  she is fine now still a bit nervous and runs a mile if anyone coughs but hasn't bitten for ages

  Today when i got in from work thomas came to greet me, and i gave him a stroke and then put him some more food out,  then he came to me and i started stroking when from out of the blue bit me (didnt draw blood- but full hand in mouth !) and then hissed at me !!  Im still learning all about cats and thieir funny ways. ! but its really upset me ...  and then 2 minutes later he was meowing at me to come and up and sit on my knee - whats it all about !??  Does anyone has any answers ....
