Question about hissing cat

I am hoping you can help me.  I get Dr Jon’s daily e-newsletter, and his advice and insight has been very helpful in the past.

Background

About a week ago, our cat (Jazz) was sitting in the window.  My husband heard growling and hissing, so he runs to the window.  A wild cat had jumped up at the window, and was stuck on the screen (outside the house).  Jazz was on the floor inside the house with wild eyes and a poofed out tail.

Ever since that night, Jazz has been hissing at my husband.  In the morning, Jazz goes through her typical routine, rubbing on his chair as he eats breakfast.  In the past, my husband then pets Jazz for a few minutes.  Now, when he reached down to pet Jazz, she hisses at him.

The hissing also seems to come out of no-where.  Today he was walking through the kitchen.  Jazz was lying on the kitchen floor.  He said ‘what’s up kitty cat’…then Jazz hissed and ran into the basement.  Odd!

We have never seen any aggressive behavior in her ever.  From time to time, Jazz has exhibited aggressive play behavior – but never hissed.  In the 4 years Jazz has been a part of our house, I think I’ve only heard the hissing maybe 1 or 2 times (and that was toward a raccoon or groundhog).

Why would she be hissing at my husband?  What can we do to stop this behavior?    I know hissing is a sign of aggression, and I don’t want it to escalate into something worse.

Thank you,

Kathy Friend
