I don't know that much about cats, but in dogs that wouldn't be particularly uncommon - though certainly annoying. My dogs have never been onlies, and are used to being part of the pack. When a new one is introduced, they just move over with a few grumbles. "Oh, another one." But I have certainly seen plenty of cases where onlies were very protective of their territory and people.

I'm considering putting Harry's sister on Prozac tho. She's getting blind in her old age, and the shadows she sees apparently seem really threatening to her. She's exhibited some aggression towards the other dogs based on that. She hasn't attacked a person or anything, but she really doesn't seem happy and does seem afraid a fair amount of the time. The vet suggested confining her to a small space where she knows where everything is, and feels more secure. But that seems to make her even more unhappy and angry. She wants to be with her people.

Let me know how things go with kitty, as it might be my only option with her.
