Buddy the Cat likes some people more than others, and gives some people a chance to prove themselves. One of the things he really hates is being teased by someone pretending to eat his food. Jeri's (elderjane) husband made this mistake and Buddy never forgave him or trusted him after that. It was all over for Ted, and Buddy rubbed it in by extra nice to Jeri.
Fortunately it didn't go as far as hissing and yowling, because that means Buddy wants you out of the house and he is not going to be happy until you leave. This has happened only one or two times.
Buddy is always sweetness and light to us, so we don't find out these things until we have company.
