What makes Shaina so mean?

About a year and a half ago, my fourteen year old daughter and I had
a "disagreement." When she referred to me as a "loser" I actually raised my
voice. Shaina was on the edge of my daughter's bed.

My daughter and I have long forgiven that debate, but Shaina still hisses at me, even though I feed her, pay vet bills, and clean the boxes. Her
favorite thing to do is sit on the kitchen counter and demand turkey (thinly sliced, only). If we don't give it to her, we get a swat. Therefore, she is known as our "counter-terrorist."
