I also forgot to mention that I think this is some form of aggression and not play, because he’ll sometimes let out a weird yowl AFTER having lunged at my head in the middle of biting me, but NEVER before.
Unfortunately I can’t predict when he attacks, and this switch happens so quickly and so suddenly that it’ll be really difficult to tell. Inching closer while he’s in this mood agitates him even more and I’m nervous if I reach his neck he’ll shred my arm or hand up!! I do do this when his nose...
When my friend had him, he kept him outside only. In the week he found him on the street, he got bit a couple times from petting stimulation and told me his bites were indeed very hard. There were a couple cats in his care he was originally very territorial with, but eventually they got along...
When I respond in that way, saying “ow” or hissing agitates him even more and he comes back for another lunge.
He really is in “the zone” when he attacks me. Had it not been for how intensely he attacks, I would be more open to trying to grab him but I know if I did I would get some nasty...
Hi,
Everyone, before you read this I suggest you read some of my earlier threads to understand this situation. He is neutered, we found him on the streets as an adult.
I have owned this cat for two years and I have tried everything to get this cat to stop attacking me so unpredictably with no...
Hi everyone! :)
This is my second of year owning Maurice, a stray/feral tomcat that stayed in my friend's front yard for about a week before handing him over to me.
For extra context, he's about 2-3 years and we found him as an adult. He's very vocal and amicable towards other people.
However...
For context I’ve owned a former stray for almost a year now (10 months) and his behavior problems have been improving but his obsession with food never goes away!
We feed him small portions about a little bit less than a handful 4-5 times a day to control his hunger, but despite that he demands...
My cat found him around this January and was already an adult when he found him. He gave him to me within 2 weeks of keeping him.
My friend owns 4 other cats and he gets along with a couple, and we’ve actually been planning on a playdate with them because his cats are absolute angels!
Hi, this is my first experience with a cat and he is a handful; there is still a lot for me to learn.
For background again he’s about 1-2 years old and is neutered. A friend found him wandering the streets outside his home and took him in, then gave him to me.
So I have this question now: why...
Hi, I’m back with another issue on caring for my cat...
For background, I got him this January from a friend who found him wandering the streets; most likely once had an owner because he approached my friend for cuddles. He was neutered when we found him, and the vet said he’s an estimated 1-2...
My naughty boy, Maurice, has always had bad behavior: stealing food, ripping bedsheets and pillow cases, etc.
But lately he’s developed a new bad habit: breaking into the pantry JUST to destroy whatever bag is inside!
Today, he went inside a tall pantry while I was gone and he ripped through a...
Hey! sorry for the late response!
Usually I feed him at least 4 handfuls of dry Purina Cat Chow Indoor food a day, the last handful usually mixed with Natural Balance salmon and pea wet food.
The title speaks for itself!!
I got my cat from a friend who found him wandering, most likely an abandoned stray. I took him to the vet a few months ago and the vet gave an estimate: he is a neutered male about 1-2 years old.
Just this month he’s picked up the habit of tearing up bedsheets...
