Why does my cat arch his back and hiss when i spray hair spray?

The sound of hairspray (especially in a pressurized can) acutally has a similar sound to a cat's hiss. Your baby may just think this is another kitty invading their territory. Turn on the vent in your bathroom and close the door when you spray. This will help keep the stress off your cat when you fix your hair. Or, if you are using a pressurized can of spray, try changing to a pump bottle and see if that works. This helped with my cat when she hissed at my hairspray.

Good luck!
