Reminds me of a possible sitting assignment I interviewed for. The family had a large, heavyset female cat (who it turned out hated women). It went to attack me. The husband grabbed it and held it close. He told it, it was alright and fed it a couple treats while petting to sooth it. I recall it sitting at the top of the stairs as we were leaving, the sun spilling over its shoulders, with a Cheshire smile. A male sitter took the assignment and was VERY careful of their relationship. One problem is the agitators get sympathized with and reinforced.
