antisocial

'unfriendly' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'liaison with cat is terribly' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'is terribly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'liaison' after 'cat' is 'catliaison'.
'catliaison' is an anagram of 'ANTISOCIAL'.
