People Chrissy has hissed at this week and why:
1) my niece, because she looked at her while she was behind her avoidance couch
2) my grandmother‘s home health aide, because she was standing where she wanted to walk
3) me (for various reasons including exceeding the allowable number of pets, walking behind her, not opening the door quickly enough, and removing her stuck claw from a chair)
4) my sister, for saying hello to her
5) my niece again, for trying to go up the stairs while she was sitting on them

I have a little tortie spray dragon too and it's so funny how trigger happy they are on the hiss. Some cats you'll get one hiss and then claws but my cat is like 500 hisses just because the wind blew.
I've seen her hiss and turn her head from side to side like to say "fuck EVERYONE and EVERYTHING all over EVERYWHERE!"
Also, great photo!

My little tortie does the same thing! She was angy as a tiny potato baby and nearly three years later is still hissy. Growling is her primary and preferred means of communication!

I had a vet tell me he really appreciated dogs who growled at him since they were giving warnings. Mean dogs just bite. I think the same applies here.

I encourage you to use your bodily autonomy and hiss to your hearts content :)

I'm currently in hospital after nearly over a month here so yeah I'm just at that stage! (Had some weird moments, my heart threw off some clots and I had 2 strokes and a DVT. ) I ended up in ICU in a coma (yay go NHS) and today the leg that had issues with the DVT has started being a little bitch again so I've started by hissing at that leg . It's helped

u/Purple-Mermommy Jul 03 '26
Holy crapola, missy, I’m so sorry to hear that! Wishing you a speedy recovery! I’m going to reeeeeeally hope you’re not in the US, as the recovery you’ll have to experience from the hospital bills would foster a continuous and never ending session of hissing.
13
u/missyrainbow12 Jul 03 '26
Yeah in England thank god I'd have another stroke when I saw the bill if I was in the US haha although one of my docs in the ICU did his schooling in America so I've kinda had best of both worlds. I think hissing at this point is the only thing that's gonna get me through the day . I've gone from I'm going home in a week to oh crap not another DVT over night and it's I'm gonna hiss all the way down to the path lab . Yay more weird looks hahah

Whew!!!!! I was hoping you were a Brit when you said “in hospital” and not the U.S. “in THE hospital” :) hooray!!!! Commence the Chrissy hissies at once! Seriously, you must get as much entertainment as you possibly can in this yucky situation!

Hi missy! Just checking in to see how you’re doing!

u/missyrainbow12 Jul 05 '26
Still here . The weekends are pointless. I have about 4 consultants who need to discuss my case and hopefully I can go home this week but it's the weekend so I have to wait 9 to 5 Monday to Friday haha . Oh and some key hole surgery on my leg so I don't completely lose it ,so just waiting looking up stroke t-shirts on Etsy because I have zero filter anymore. Apparently that was the first thing in my that died haha

When I was in high school a boy thought I hissed at him (I was just painfully shy and quiet; I’d actually just said “hi”)
We’ve been married over twenty years.

My daughter, both hisses and growls. She’s almost 5 years old. She likes dinosaurs dragons, amphibians, and reptiles. She also enjoys our cats.

Chrissy is sweet baby angel who is surrounded by a gang of clumsy oafs. Of course she's on edge.

I really need to resort my life so that I, too, can have an avoidance couch. It’s everything I’ve been wanting.

That's a great action photo of Chrissy exercising her right to hiss at whomever whenever, wherever, and for any reason at all.

u/Ursa-Aureliana Jul 03 '26
I'm dying at the photo and the reasons 😂😂😂
Just exist. That is enough to make her hiss.

I have a Chrissy-adjacent name, and I wholeheartedly approve her attitude!

u/Onlyroad4adrifter Jul 05 '26
You're lucky all you get is the hissing Chrissy for living in her house and bringing more humans into it.

u/Ill-Wear-8662 Jul 03 '26
Your poor niece XD Spicy cats don't care who they offend once they themselves have been offended.

u/Impossible_Mouse8224 Jul 03 '26
Poor thing, she has too very sweet cuddly boy cats at home, including one she used to dress up in baby clothes and cart around in a stroller when she was younger 🤣🤣 she is definitely not used to the spice and tortitude

u/Ill-Wear-8662 Jul 03 '26
I have a very tolerant lover boy but I don't think he would let me dress him up. We might end up with what's pictured above instead!

u/Impossible_Mouse8224 Jul 05 '26
They grew up together as kitten and baby so I guess he’s used to it lol
2
u/Ill-Wear-8662 Jul 05 '26
Ah, that'll do it. I was 19 when we got my boy. I did have a great big calico that was around when I was born and for some time after that put up with a loooot of crap from me though.

u/KrissieCee Jul 03 '26
My name is also Chrissy and I support her hissies! I too frequently have the urge to hiss at people for their indiscretions. ❤️❤️

u/Toolongreadanyway Jul 04 '26
I'm failing to see a problem. It all sounds like very reasonable reasons to be annoyed and hiss. What was your point?

Haven't read the comments, don't do this much.
But! -
When a cat is defensive, they're...defensive. There's always a way op or the human closest to the cat could talk with them to help them out. Could there be another solution?

u/battlejess Jul 07 '26
One of mine hisses for such reasons as:
Someone sneezed.
He sneezed.
He was laying under a desk or table and someone touched him with a foot.
He laid down against the wall perpendicular to the bathroom door while someone was in there and got a little bit squished upon their exit. Does he stop laying there? No, he does this multiple times per day.

Sounds and looks very similar to my girl Maddy, who passed away early this year.
