Perhaps you really didn't want any help or suggestions but just wanted to comment and, if that's the case, you should've said so. Far from being stupid, moosmom has been rescuing and caring for cats for years and knows her stuff. A little humility and less hostility goes a long way and insults and name-calling is never appropriate. I hope you find out why your kitty is hissing but it's very common for us to ask if there are any medical issues that need to be addressed.
