Default My cat hisssed at me !!!! Twice!!! how dare she!!!!!

For the first time - my cat hissed at me! Twice - about an hour between each
other. Thats because she has something stuck on her fur under her front leg and
I want it out - just in case its sharp and its hurting her so I fiddled with
the just to check it out but when I actually started to feel it and was tugging
at it - she hissed at me!!! I backed off - was alarmed at that thing stuck on
her fur and tried again a hour later and she hissed again when I was feeling it
out!

1. Is hissing right before "biting" and "lunging"/"clawing" at me through paina
nd anger?
2. What can I do to feel this thing out and remove it? I have a feeling its
some sharp burrs from the flowerbed.

I hope you get it out. Don't take it personally being hissed at. It
is a reflex for them when something is happening to them that they
don't like. Shadow is the most gentle cat in the world but when he is
having his ears cleaned, or his bottom cleaned up (chronic diarrhea
problem) he will hiss at me from time to time. He's even lightly
bitten me to warn me to stop but of course I can't stop; it has to be
done. Mostly I will have a groomer or the vet shave his bottom to
spare him the stress of cleaning the fur (just the stubble or skin).
He doesn't hiss at them for some reason. I'm getting better with the
ear cleaning at home to spare him a trip to the vet for that. He just
doesn't like being touched in those ways. Same with claw clipping.

Kuisse,

Put your gardening gloves on and a long sleeve shirt. Then remove what is
stuck on her hair.
