Jennie might just be a "one person cat." (The one person being Richard.)

Some cats don't like being around other people (or any people for that matter) -- it's just their personalities, and there isn't much you can do about it.

Rather than seek out the cat to give it attention, wait for her to come to you and your son. She may not desire affection, or company, so that could be why she gets defensive and swats at your son.

My advice is to leave her alone and let her do her own thing.
