My cat (the one that is peeing on everything lately) is skittish, even after we've had her for about 6 years.

She hates to be touched.

The few times I have company or a workman here, she runs and hides.

She'll let me pet her maybe once a week and it's very brief. Then she'll bite at me to tell me to stop.

I've had pets all my life. I've never had one that was hateful like this. She has never liked being touched. Won't let me hold her. If I start to pet her and she's in a mood (which is most of the time), she pulls away and runs.

But the peeing didn't start until the neighborhood cat adopted us after his owner died. He is in and out all day, and in the cold weather he used to sleep with my son. This started about 2 years ago after his owner died so he didn't have a warm house to return to at night. Now that my son is gone, he is sleeping with me. He likes to snuggle. He likes to be held. So the other cat is mad, I guess.
